ER editor: Remember when people on the average, middle-of-the-road left were simply pro-ordinary people and anti-globalist without even realizing it? For economic justice, sure, but still broadly capitalist and anti-war? On what we know of Sahra Wagenknecht and the kind of criticisms she’s made of the current left (far, woke, ideological), she’s a realist above all as well as an economic nationalist. A sort of RFK Jr. … bringing those who will only ever identify as ‘left’ round to a more middle ground of old?
We still believe more than ever that much of what we’re seeing right now is a movie, and figures like RFK Jr. are playing their part quite admirably to shift recalcitrant parts of the population into a more reality-based view. Maybe Wagenknecht is part of this strategy, maybe not.
Wagenknecht May Establish New Left-Wing Anti-Globalist Party
Wagenknecht’s foreign policy would rely “on diplomacy instead of arms deliveries.”

After a great many months of speculation, Sahra Wagenknecht, who formerly served as a parliamentary group leader for Germany’s Die Linke before being ostracized from the party due to its shift towards left-liberal and globalist positions, has signaled that she may form her own political party.

In her statements, given exclusively to the Berlin-based tabloid newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Sunday, September 10th, Wagenknecht, among other things, laid out what the not-yet-formed party’s core ideology tenets would be.
While she brushed off the newspaper’s claim that the decision to establish a new party has already been finalized, anonymous confidants of the politician have said otherwise. Responding to an inquiry from the German Press Agency (DPA), Wagenknecht stated:
That is the opinion of the Bild newspaper. It remains the same: We will decide on the founding of the party by the end of the year at the latest.
Wagenknecht, however, did inform Bild am Sonntag —the most widely circulated Sunday paper in Germany—that, if formed, her new party would be anchored by four core principles: economic reason, social justice, peace, and freedom.
On the economic front, Wagenknecht says she wants to bring an end to the ruling left-liberal ‘traffic light’ coalition’s disastrous policies which she insists have ceded total control to the global marketplace, resulting in scores of jobs leaving Germany.
To help rectify the situation, Wagenknecht has called for a wholly different economic approach, advocating for the implementation of “government-regulated price ceilings” to protect consumers. She also aims to promote the establishment of state “supervisory bodies” tasked with overseeing companies’ production activities.
Wagenknecht also advocates for a “foreign policy that once again relies on diplomacy instead of arms deliveries.” She asserted that it is of paramount importance to pursue peace with Russia, highlighting the negative impact the ongoing “economic conflict” has had—and will continue to have—on the German economy.
Regarding social justice, Wagenknecht, to promote greater societal fairness, also advocates for the idea of helping working-class Germans via measures like the leveling of higher taxes on corporate earnings.
Lastly, with respect to freedom, Wagenknecht thinks there ought to be greater tolerance for ideological diversity among the political and media classes….
