This new German party is "hard left" only by name. This Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance is more of a red-brown party with a rancid nostalgic mindset of Germany's 70s, when everything was in order and white industry workers were the unchallenged subjects and the world was an easy place without all this climate and woke stuff.
Good: they draw votes from the openly fascist AfD. And the German Left Party "Die Linke" they split off from got finally rid of these people.
Bad: their racists, backwards discourse might permeate the minds of older social democrats. And the last thing we needed was a right-wing workers party.

43 percent of #AfD supporters consider voting for the #BündnisSahraWagenknecht #BSW
"The alternative to the alternative? How Germany's far left could limit far-right gains in the European elections
A new party set up by former leftist Sahra Wagenknecht will likely claim some of Germany’s 96 seats in the European Parliament when voters go to the polls in June"

"Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), would get into parliament with 5% support if there were an election now"
Party loyalty of #AfD voters is solidifying
Sept 2023, 80% of supporters said they didn't care parts of the AfD were classified as right-wing extremist by Germany's domestic intelligence agency. Number now stands at 66%
Only 43% of AfD supporters polled said they could imagine voting for any of the other major parties, down from 54% in September 2023.

This is a really useful resource/collection of resources. There are a bunch of quick passages that really grabbed me, but this in particular stands out:
“The danger is not that these organizations themselves will fully subsume the left, but that the uncertainty they sow spreads widely enough to seriously destabilize solidarity efforts of all kinds.”
I have a friend/colleague who has been warning about these kinds of crossover movements for a long time, but the “Hands Off Milosevič!” types and the occasional Larouche dork used to seem so marginal as to be completely meaningless. I didn’t really see the harm until the war in Syria started. In retrospect, feel really foolish and naive, but I really just didn’t think so much shitty analysis could gain so much traction (thinking primarily of the hacks at The Grayzone, but also their many enablers). And while a lot of people seem to recognize that they’re hacks, many also can’t entirely get pas the possibility that “hm, maybe they have a point”.
And if anything, the problem has likely gotten worse since then. We’ll see, for instance, what happens in Germany if Sahra Wagenknecht’s new party really gets off the ground. Hard to imagine a more useful idiot for the AfD…
At any rate, the author indicates that this is a work in progress, so it’d be worth bookmarking and reading some of the links over time.

You can speak up for Palestinians & defend Human Rights universally, without valorizing #RedBrown convergence.

"the claim can be found elsewhere on the internet, including publications critical of Israel like Electronic Intifada and GrayZone, and in messaging groups like Monte’s Uncensored Truths, which previously had been focused on pandemic-related gripes about vaccines and conspiratorial ideas about “globalists” ushering in a so-called New World Order. Right-wing Holocaust deniers also have latched onto the claims". #ElectronicIntifada #RedBrown #ConspiracyTheorists
