Bergpartei, die ÜberPartei, stylized as bergpartei, die überpartei (pronounced as /de/) and shortened as B*, is a left-wing anarchist, dadaist party in Germany. Its main proposals include universal basic income, restricting private ownership and leaving NATO.[1]
It is known for the holding of a vegetable battle between two rival districts of Berlin[2] and the video activist film festival nodogma.[3] [4]
B* has no domination claim, but refuses to be a joke party. Its additional designation is: radical feminist arm, utopian solidarity branch, post-identity anti-national, anti-materialist action.
The party is considered left-wing and has roots in the Berlin squatter scene. It supports a system of unconditional, universal basic income, proposes strict restrictions on private ownership, advocates leaving NATO and seeks to implement a system that would let the people directly exercise political power through direct democracy and anarchism.[1]
In 2005, the Bergpartei was the first German party to enshrine the unconditional basic income, then called existence money, in its program.[5]
The party is famous for its handmade posters and billboards.[6]
It was founded on 1 April 2011 by fusing two grassroot squatter parties.[7]
The party's founding chairholder was Jan Theiler.[8]
In the Berlin elections 2011, the party gained 0.9 % in the district Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (including 3.2% in the former squats area "Wahlkreis 5"[9]). In the national elections 2013, the party gained 0.4% in the same district.[10] Berlin 2016: 3,1 % in area Wahlkreis 5 and 0,5 % in the whole district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.2021 elections were held in Berlin and the federal level at the same time. Bergpartei decided to support the referendum to expropriate landlords but still doubled their votes.
