Obviously the American-FBI capitalist one did not work other than putting a lot of Germans out of work causing a change in German politics.

@peterutman9754 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

I think BSW has a lot of good ideas. Pro-labor anti-woke. Common sense immigration policy. Leftist economics. Where I disagree is the climate skepticism and Euro skepticism. Climate change is real. The EU is good. NATO is necessary. As an American I want a liberal immigration policy for the USA but if I were voting in Germany I would support BSW.

@ingridhildebrandt8053 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

BSW and AFD, both want peace, but they have different ideas how to come to peace.

@ingridhildebrandt8053 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

BSW is not at all antidemocratic. All members agree to start like they do. The Par 37:05 ty opens for members only when they succeed in the election. I find this reasonable.

@ingridhildebrandt8053 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

I am drawn to BSW. Middle class, over 60 years, westgermany, former voter of the Linke. The same for my friends.

@ingridhildebrandt8053 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

🎉In comparison BSW to AFD: The rightwing party lacks humanity in their migrationpolicy.

@ingridhildebrandt8053 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Sahra Wagenknecht is – what few people know – the most intelligent politition in Europe.

@emchoga March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

She is the only one caring for Germany and German people.

@Muuaaddiinn93 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

i love this channel

@liamgilmour8555 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

As usual, the complete avoidance of the topic of the ongoing genocide in Palestine within German media is remarkable.

@Abcflc March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

A lot of red flags coming from the SWK : one person leadership, alignment with Russia despite having no resemblance to the USSR, science skepticism, promising for a future based on a past that is no longer possible 🚩 really a terrible party for anyone with a brain..

@essakhan-oh2vh March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

It is high time Germans should realise that how they can come out from being a Hostage nation. some people tried their most to drag Germany into war making Germany a battlefield and tried to make the whole Europe battle ground to ruin Europe after 70+years of war into an other devastative catastrophe. now the want to sell their own people for the sake of few gamblers.

@Shepherdservices317 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Hey have you ever thought being anti mass demographic change isn't right wing but center? As most people don't want it. Aka centrelist

@alkdjf09345jkrj March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Sahra Wagenknecht might not be perfect but she is a serious politician who is asking the correct, uncomfortable questions about political economy and international politics that aren't seriously addressed by anyone else. It's a mistake to dismiss her as 'conservative', 'anachronistic' or 'nostalgic' like the people on this show are doing. More than anyone else, these words apply to the liberal centrists across Europe. They are trying to stubbornly hold on to their old failed policies pretending that the world hasn't changed in the past 2 decades while feeling nostalgic towards the 1990s when EU and NATO were expanding and no one was challenging their ideology.

@alexiss6990 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

She's neither left nor right. She's just objective, realistic and sticks her finger where it really hurts. She is obviously doing something right! As we can see from how crazy Washington-aligned media networks go crazy because of her BSW success 😂..
Sahra for chancellor!

@ismailbarakat3868 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

It is always revealing and shocking how Gaza just casually fall out completely from conversations like these.

@willeisinga2089 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Bundnis Sarah Wagenknecht für Frieden. ❤❤❤👍👍👍

@GTA5Player1 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

When did BERNIE SANDERS say that identity issues were why the Dems lost? You're making him sound like some anti-woke cringelord.

@psymantronic1528 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

BSW are clearly left wing. The only confusion is coming from the panel who, with the BSW, have been stripped of their usual demonising tactic of labelling anyone who is against mass immigration as far right. The war in Ukraine isn't helping the people of Ukraine or the people of Germany and it is particularly hard on the poor so the BSWs anti war stance here is also typically left wing.

@Thevoiceofsilence2024 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Fact is fact even here is Africa we can see Germany failing because they have entinglied themself into Nato/EU policies wish works to favour the US. When Putin talks common sense he means simply that. Idealism is a sickness

@molkakaminski March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Putins pet

@SeattlePioneer March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Sounds like Bernie Sanders critique of Democrats.

@Ricardo-kayu March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

SARA oh SARA, well Come to our lives, from afar with LOVE!!!

@andreaerling7614 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

The BSW is hardly " Disrupting German politics" . According to the latest surveys this party is polling 6.5% of the vote, others say 4.5%. This party which was founded a year ago and which did very well in regional elections in the eastern part of Germany might not even make it into the Bundestag in the general election in February. The party which is truly disrupting German politics i.e the established parties is the AFD which is going from strength to strength ( it currently stands at 22% ) – in spite of the campaigns against it or maybe because of it.

@daphuc502 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

far left blending with far right? national socialism?

@blagojelukic March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

If Uk don’t support her. In my book that means she is great

@mcmxli-by1tj March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

I would not join a political party named after an individual.

@lars277 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

This makes it evident that Heritage Foundation and ACU/CPAC money is flowing into German politics. These well monied terrorist organizations will disrupt and create chaos in the German populace to facilitate their goals.

@cezarstefanseghjucan March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

The left wing must be concerned with the security, welfare & authority of the workers.
All workers need to be treated in relation to their skills & fields of expertise with no discrimination on any grounds.
All people are equal by identity, but of various degree of merit.

@Carlosthetraveler360 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Russians have infiltrated German politics since 1945. Most German leftists are Communists. AfD is basically their only choice, as of now.

@smithb0134 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Is she for the working class and social benefits? Great! But id like to know how she figured out how to give birth to a million and a half new fully skilled German citizens for the next ten years because you can't give benefits and social services to pensioners without the necessary hordes of working young people to pay for it. How is she going to solve Germany's demographic crisis?

@smithb0134 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

So if she wants to remove Germany from NATO and the EU, what's her plan for Germany's defense. Just let Putin take care of that? So, basically, she wants to replace the American yoke around Germany's neck with a Russian yoke? How's that freedom?

@jamessmithers4456 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

The fundamental security guarantee for the Ukeaine is an agreement which provides Russia with a confidence in its own security. Such an arrangement requires an agreement on a new European security architecture which itself would be embedded in a broader great power strategic security agreement

@avishekmitra2801 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

BSW❤

@Utopiaesdistopia March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Anti woke I like, makes sense.

@jonakason4451 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Excuse my ignorance but I just can't understand the pro Russian sentiment in Germany. Other neighbors of Russia are terrified that they will eventually invade,, heck even Russians themselves like to threaten to march over Germany. What gives?

@KenHubbard-jz1vq March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

IT'S BLOODY TIME YOU WOKE UP TO OURSELVES THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM IS WELL PAST ITS USED BY DATE AND EITHER NEEDS REFORMING OR COMPLETELY DISCARDED FOR A FAIRER MORE EQUITABLE SYSTEM UNTIL THIS HAPPENS CHINA WILL CONTINUE TO PROSPER WITHOUT GERMANY

@philltaylor8442 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

It's stands out that the United States is using Europe to fight against Russia for its own means! When hasn't the United States not done this! You've seen what a mess they leave behind them! When leave uther countries 😂😂😂leaving billions in weapons behind and their own people's to fend for themselves! Now that they have made Europe virtually inposible to recover from and destroying Europe's economies! Will make them independent on Americas high fuel prices and menney other items for decades to come!?.

@ErgysUra March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

The bots in the comment section think this is a US based youtube channel. Woke this and woke that. Silly bots.

@artturretje423 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Don't like Putinknechts..

@philltaylor8442 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

All humanity wants is a government to do what they promise to do when we are voting for them! But they use their voters all parties do this! Lie ferst and blame the uther parties for not being able to deliver the promises! They must know that doesn't wash with the majority of the people enney more!they already know what they promise will never happen!?.

@themindsojourner March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Bravo BSW !

Anonymous March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Only German news show can go through out whole episode on politics without mentioning genocide they commit. Well, Sarah is against war crimes DW is resposible for

@notafantbh March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

I'll never vote to a party the is so focused on a single person

@johnsandford1877 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

From the outside, looking in:- The AfD, led by Alice Weidel, will very soon be the absolutely essential political and economic salvation of Germany. A constructive opposition, also devoted to Germany's concerns now, and for the times ahead, is desirable. This can only be met by Sarah Wagenknecht's BSW party, All other parties, not accepting, not realizing, and not constructively contributing to the fast changing situation, are fast making themselves, politically irrelevant.

@FelixTweezer March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

agree with anti woke but not anti NATO.

@r5u26d3 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Sounds like a dangerous combination, left, socialist and anti NATO pro Russia. Not a good programme for Germany. The German people need security and should remain at the heart of NATO in Europe. They protect all of us. In fact Germany should be at the top table ahead of France. The EU should be reduced to the level of a trading organisation.

@oldowleye3161 March 30, 2025 - 3:05 pm

Far right is on the russian payrole !… that’s what this is all about !… time will tell when they will run to moscow for money !…
