The ruling elites of Germany are under attack: the "Stalinist" is torn into power, by Dmitry Bavyrin for RIANOVOSTI. 08.31.2023.
This autumn, a new party will appear in Germany, which will begin to claim power. Among the main points of its program will be the rejection of support for Ukraine and the lifting of sanctions against Russia. And this almost revolutionary force will be headed by Bundestag deputy Sarah Wagenknecht, known in narrow circles as a "Stalinist".
This is a probable, but not yet guaranteed, development of events. The ruling elite of Germany is ready to eat the land, if only to get rid of Wagenknecht and not to watch how a woman with "unacceptable views" takes away their voters.
Therefore, another force, brute force, can be used against the nascent force. If they hesitate, the new party will be the same as mentioned above - popular, anti-NATO, anti-Ukrainian and anti-confrontational towards Russia.
Such a party seems to already exist in Germany - the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD). But the Wagenknecht force will represent the left spectrum - with class struggle and demands to dismantle capitalism. For the homeland of Karl Marx, this is not at all exotic, moreover, formally this place in Germany has already been occupied by the Left Party, of which Wagenknecht is a deputy. But Wagenknecht is on the rise, and the "Lefts" are dying.
Structurally, the "Lefts" have the right to be considered the heirs of the ruling party of the GDR and Comrade Honecker personally. But in their modern form, they were established in 2007 through the efforts of Oscar La Fontaine , the former leader of the Social Democrats (the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz ), who claimed the post of head of government after the unification of Germany, but lost the election to its unifier, Helmut Kohl , and then gave way to the reins of the party reign of Gerhard Schröder.
Now La Fontaine is 79 years old, 14 of them he is on a political pension, but he is still remembered thanks to numerous interviews, which are a pleasure to read even for a Russian person. In them, La Fontaine accuses the United States of deliberately fomenting a conflict in Ukraine, which, in his opinion, became their way to destroy the commercial and industrial cooperation between Germany and Russia and thereby weaken both countries.
Wagenknecht made a career in the leadership of the "Left" after Lafontaine's retirement, rising to the posts of faction leader in the Bundestag and co-chairman of the party. But that's in the past. A bright publicist with friends in the media and the cultural environment of Germany, she was already an ordinary deputy, when she suddenly became a "star". More precisely, the actions of the government, which cut off ties with the Russian Federation and sent "Leopards" to the Armed Forces of Ukraine , made it a "star".
Most of the protests in Germany after the start of the NWO were devoted to sanctions and arms sales. And Wagenknecht sometimes acted as an organizer of protests, sometimes simply as a speaker on the part of the dissatisfied. It so happened because the main "motor" of these actions - the AfD - has no friends in the media and is considered "unhanded". Unlike Wagenknecht.
Until February 2022, the "Lefts" held the same opinion about anti-Russian sanctions as the AfD, but cooperation between them was unthinkable: the "Lefts" for the "Alternative" were communist radicals, the "Alternative" for the "Lefts" were unfinished fascists. After February, Honecker's successors split over the Russian-Ukrainian issue (against this background, its founder Lafontaine left the party), and their cooperation with the AfD became a reality using the example of Wagenknecht.
Her finest hour was last year's September speech in the Bundestag, in which she accused the authorities of waging an economic war against the Russian Federation to the detriment of Germany. That speech was applauded in the AfD faction, but only partially by the “Left”. The indignant (and large) half raised the question of expelling Wagenknecht from the party.
She held on, fortunately she had long been accustomed to the indignations of her comrades - she was always considered problematic and quarrelsome, criticizing first for "Stalinism" in historical assessments, then for a radical leftist deviation, now for "an advantageous position for Russia." She also has other disagreements with the leadership of the Left. Wagenknecht is skeptical about the "new ethic" with the triad LGBT-BLM-feminism (because it distracts from the class struggle), uncontrolled migration (because it encourages capitalist exploitation and takes away places from local workers) and green politics a la Greta Thunberg ( because which is costly for the poor).
And in foreign affairs, Wagenknecht supports the views of La Fontaine. Therefore, it can be called the antipode of Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock, whose rhetoric against Russia was called "Nazi" by Lafontaine. Whatever question you take, if one Frau is for, then the other is categorically against.
Now the balance is such that Wagenknecht is one of the three most popular politicians in Germany with an approval rating of 40 percent, while Burbock and Scholz are not even in the top ten. Polls for her party, which has not yet been created, promise up to 20 percent of the vote, and in a number of states where elections will be held next year (for example, in Thuringia ), up to 25 percent and first place.
At the same time, the rating of the "Left" froze at five percent (the threshold for entering the Bundestag), and in recent months has dropped to four percent. This is the only major opposition party whose popularity is not growing, but falling amid the failures of the government. And when Wagenknecht announced at the beginning of the summer that she would no longer run for the Left, the question arose of what came first - that a promising politician was dumping an unpopular party like ballast, or that the Left had nevertheless squeezed Wagenknecht to their own death.
It is doubtful that without their "star" they will be able to claim a faction in the Bundestag. Moreover, many influential figures among the “left” will go over to the Wagenknecht party, including La Fontaine. He has nowhere to go at all, because he is the husband of Wagenknecht.
By the way, her previous husband, publicist Ralph Niemeyer, left Germany after the start of the NWO and declared himself "the head of a government in exile", which is "ready for negotiations with Russia." That is, he is also a remarkable personality, but not serious enough.
And Wagenknecht is serious. And the German elite faces a serious dilemma: either immediately crush the new force with boots, or first allow it to bury the counter-elite "Left" and lead voters away from the AfD, whose growing influence is still considered the main political problem in Germany.
