Personally I have the theory that the US will turn into an open fascist dictatorship somewhere within the next 20 years

Thanks for clarifying it and intervening. I can absolutely understand why some comrades may have a generally very negative attitude to “white people” but some of the stuff I saw in some threads was really off the charts, and I’ve seen at least one claim that was pretty much akin to the demand of ethnic cleansings. I’m glad that I am organized in real-life and that my ML bubble is not limited to internet discourse.

I would call Die Linke neither Marxist nor attribute their fall to Wagenknecht. Die Linke is more or less just a melting pot of various vaguely “leftist” positions, but it is not clearly marxist. I have never seen them advocate or employing Marxist analysis. There are Marxsists in Die Linke, but from my personal experiences, most of them are pretty unhappy with the party.

As for Wagenknecht, isn’t she one of the most popular politicians according to polls at the moment? The downfall of Die Linke has been going on for quite some time now, and I don’t think it started with Wagenknecht, nor do I really think Wagenknecht is responsible for losing votes. Die Linke has had issues gathering Working Class votes for a long time now, and I think that comes mainly from their inability to provide the working class with a proper alternative vision for the future (Socialism) as well as their constant, open infighting.
