The German Green Party - a forgotten chapter in MAP history?

Usually it's the Netherlands that comes up, along with some ill-fated initiatives in the UK and France, in regards to MAP activism history in Europe, but why doesn't this come up as often?

Seems like a really big thing to me, especially since it's a major party that still exists without major changes. I wonder what those in the party think about it today - of course, as these articles show, they outwards distance themselves from it, but i'm not sure it's what they all really think about it.

German Wikipedia has a huge article on the controversy. Not sure if the translation has been attempted yet.

many Greens at the time had "ignored the structural power differences between adults and children".
I don't know if I have to laugh or to cry...

There are structural imbalances between adults and minors so let’s not only keep those structures but entrench them and make the imbalances even more pronounced!
