I’ve only learned about her today, and I found [https://apnews.com/article/germany-politics-wagenknecht-new-party-4afbec16f56bbacc46629771263398b8](this article, which despite being liberal, doesn’t do a good job of making her sound scary and evil.) (a lil outdated tho)Are there good resources of her policies and political stances, everything I look up just says she’s “leftist” and I’m wondering what kind. It sounds positive because people are calling her “authoritarian left” aka actual functional left

Another promising figure in Die Linke who is generally a bit more vocally anti-imperialist than the rest is Sevim Dagdelen, but lately i haven’t seen much of her.

Apparently she left Die Linke to be part of Wagenknecht's new party.

Really? Well that's interesting news. I wonder if this new Wagenknecht party is really just a split of Die Linke along pro-imperialist vs anti-imperialist lines.

Pretty much. For example, Fabio de Masi also left.

This is a very interesting time to be alive in terms of German left politics, I can’t wait to see what comes of this
