“Left” not united? A sharepic shows two photos, in one picture you can see “right to stay for everyone” and in the other it says “Germans out”.
Are demonstrators contradicting each other here? Are “leftists” divided in their demands here, especially when it comes to Germany? This is exactly what is involved with a sharepic.
It is a sharepic that was published just a few days ago and has the description “The bizarre blossoms of national self-hatred:”.

What is definitely true about this sharepic: There are two demos. The problem is, these demonstrations took place in two different countries, at two different times and on completely different topics.

Basically you could have done this by simply reading, but somehow only a few people noticed.
The fact check: Are they “leftists”?
Political opinions are not always written on everyone's forehead, so in this case a little fact check is necessary. An image search helps with the image above.
The top picture
According to Wikimedia, this image was already uploaded to the platform in 2007 ( see here , image info Marek Peters / www.marek-peters.com, Marek Peters by Flattr). Where exactly it was recorded is not specified. Peters, however, is a German photographer (Berlin) who primarily published photos of right-wing extremists, but also of demonstrations against right-wing extremism.

Nevertheless, the origin of the image can be determined because the same poster with the same people can be found in a document on the “Youths Without Borders” website (see page 14 here ). There you can read on page 15:
The first demo took place on May 21st (note: 2007) with around 700 participants. It began in the afternoon with a kick-off rally at the SPD headquarters, where representatives of various groups expressed their dissatisfaction and their experiences with life as a refugee in Germany.
During the final rally at the CDU headquarters, we presented the CDU politicians with signature lists against deportations.
Accordingly the summary: The picture above was taken on May 21st, 2007 in Berlin. It shows members of “Youths Without Borders”.
The lower picture
Now it's getting exciting. If you read the posters alone, you have to notice that this picture was not taken in Germany. It says something about “Piefke out”. And you can see something else on the back posters: AUSTRIA! Here the picture is linked again individually .
Dear friends in Germany! Especially as a German living in Austria, you know that as a German you get the (more or less friendly) name “Piefke”. It's so.
Accordingly, this picture comes from Austria. The origin and intention are just as clear: the picture was taken in Salzburg. It shows students performing a demo as part of an art project. With this project they wanted to point out the bad tone between students. In the Salzburger Nachrichten you can find out ( see here ):
The aim of the event was by no means to rail against German students in Salzburg. Rather, an exaggerated attempt was made to draw attention to the issue. The interaction with and between foreign and domestic students in Salzburg leaves a lot to be desired.
Note: The photo also comes from this article (source: https://www.sn.at/salzburg/chronik/demo-gegen-deutsche-war-ein-kunstprojekt-5191690 © Salzburger Nachrichten VerlagsgesmbH & Co KG 2019)
German students are sometimes viewed as “Numerus Clausus refugees” in Austria ( see here ). This always leads to tensions among the students. However, it is not clear whether “leftists” are explicitly visible in the picture.
So here's a summary: The picture below was taken on February 23, 2013 in Salzburg. The occasion was a demo that was intended to draw attention to the tone between students in a special way .
Conclusion
The two pictures have absolutely nothing to do with each other. What's more: They come from different countries, the sign “Germans out” was held in Austria, and this as a provocative element to attract attention.
