Maybe you are older than me. In the last ~20 years that I was old enough to understand the news, the SPD was always the center-left party and the Left/PDS the far left (for a non-fringe party) one. Fugging hell, my conservative grandma voted SPD because she dislikes Merz for his AfD bullshit back in January, and she is everything but left-wing.

I am not that old, but the social Democrats of old wanted e.g. a wealth tax and maximum income taxes that are much higher than today's. I don't have a long list of examples.
