Anyone know Marxist commentary for German elderly?
I'm in contact with elderly people in germany a lot and they are mostly nice folks but get absolutely lobotomized by state media (joking name: öffentlich rechter reichsfunk).
The problem is twofold. They dont speak any english on average. This is a major problem as most marxist media i consume is english. Second: they need to relate. Three german media which I find relatively nice are "bedauerlicher einzelfall", " kommunistenkneipe" and "99zu1" (with varying doses of revisionism, sadly) but they are still mostly made by and for younger people (mostly 30s). The german elderly watch elderly people mostly who use common symbols and are relatable to them to feed them reactionary or outright fascist content.
What I would love is someone (at best an elderly person themselves) who at least uses marxist analysis to help them break this stranglehold.
I know they are not the proletarians we need for a revolution but they are a huge group due to average population age rising. Leaving these people behind is beyond stupid imho.
Thanks for any advice.

Junge Welt is great in terms of print media. Even comes as a printed newspaper for those who still like to faff around with those. They do lots of reporting on issues close to people's lives like pensions, housing, social work, etc.

I like their content as well, same with unsere zeit btw. But i literally mean for people who dont read anymore or never have. They need a german alternative to their mainstream tv which is basically fox news.
