It is interesting to me that nobody has commented on Waggenknecht's decisive turn to right wing populism. She has an association <https://www.workersliberty.org/story/2024-01-30/wagenknechts-link-far-right-organiser> with German neonazi Gernot Mörig. Mörig, by the way, was an organizer of a recent secret conference whose purpose was to discuss how immigrants could be deported - not just a few immigrants, millions of them. Wagenknecht makes her anti-immigrant stance palatable for the left in this interview, but be not deceived, she's joined the chorus <https://www.leftvoice.org/everything-you-need-to-know-about-sahra-wagenknechts-left-conservatism/> in immigrant bashing. She is also an apologist for both Assad and Putin. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise since she comes from a Stalinist background.
What Wagenknecht is doing is merging "left" or "working class" populist economic demands with right wing populism, appealing to the more socially conservative layers of the German working class. Ever hear of a man named Gregor Strasser? And New Left Review gives her a friendly interview while other socialists are taken in by her?
