The United Left (German: Vereinigte Linke) was an alliance of several leftist opposition groupings in the German Democratic Republic.[1][2] Among them were Christian socialists, Trotskyists, adherents of the Titoist system of workers' self-management and some Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) members, who were critical of their party's policy.
