BSW is openly copying fascist rethoric. Die Linke actually gained support and members after Sarah Wagenknecht and her followers left the party, she was the one most damaging the party's image with her open contempt for minorities and support for Russia. This article is garbage
Wagenknecht’s BSW doesn’t just get it from what’s now referred to as the German “center” (i.e., the parties of warmongers and anti-working class policies).
It also gets a lot of criticism from the left – especially [Jacobin article] on the immigration issue.
