Bergpartei, die ÜberPartei, stylized as bergpartei, die überpartei (German pronunciation: [ˌbɛʁkpaʁˈtaɪ diː ˌʔyːbɐpaʁˈtaɪ]) 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]

Program

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]

Posters and slogans

The party is famous for its handmade posters and billboards.^[6]
