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.

In 2005, the Bergpartei was the first German party to enshrine the unconditional basic income, called existence money back then in its program.[4]
