What a piece of shockingly sub-standard journalism from @jacobinmag - an exercise in 'redwashing' anti-immigrant politics. It shows an elementary lack of journalistic integrity, research and the responsibility to scrutinise politicians jacobinmag.com/2018/10/sahra-…
For the record, Wagenknecht has linked 'uncontrolled immigration' to terrorism. Perhaps Jacobin could have fulfilled a journalistic function and ask her about this? marx21.de/how-sahra-wage…
She formed Aufstehen after *failing to win* the Die Linke conference to her calls to cap refugee numbers - a policy that would not only violate international law but put the party to the right of Merkel. Perhaps they could have asked her about this? dw.com/en/left-party-…
At a time when there is overwhelming opposition to the politics of the AfD in every other section of society - apart from amongst their own voters - this orientation to them isn't just wrong morally it would also spell electoral oblivion for Die Linke.
The international left should be applauding Katya Kipping's and her colleagues' successful resistance to this deeply reactionary political agenda
