The materialism of the left was their mainstay in reason.
The religion of justice its free leg.
As a great philosopher of the 19th century, Karl Marx made it clear with his materialistic dialectic that living conditions shape people's ideals, values and beliefs.
And not the other way around.
It is a sober look at reality and people that shapes the clearest moments of Marxian analysis.
His political utopias could only be understood against the background of exploitative capitalisms of the time.
Today Karl Marx would vote for the FDP.
But that's just by the way.
Sahra Wagenknecht is a classic leftist.
It also looks like this - very brand-conscious.
She thinks and argues, knee-deep in German classical music, along Marxist categories.
For her, the class question is not settled, and that is why she recognizes what it is in the theory of so-called identity politics: the need for distinction between petty-bourgeois intellectuals and zeitgeist opportunists.
She writes that in clear terms in her new book, and already the priests of the urban left sense a chance to mark Wagenknecht as "right" and to force them out of the party because they refuse the new creed of the sacrificial religion folklore.
"TERFs (Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists) only want to empower people with uterus and XX chromosomes" was the latest tweeted by the citizens' children offensive called Fridays for Future and, with their amusing intersectionalism, served a fiction of liberation struggles that particularly fits with marketable Instagram accounts and tax-financed cultural institutions .
Wagenknecht is smart enough to see through this narrow-gauge program as a “lifestyle leftist”.

The impressive incompetence of the new left leadership now creates space for a conflict that two intellectual women like Wagenknecht and Katja Kipping had always cherished in a high-class way.
Wagenknecht's book "The Self-Righteous" aroused her party even before it was first sold because the zeitgeists surfers and victim milieu representatives also knew how right she was.
Vegan high-income earners and red wine-drinking Cuba nostalgics choose the left as a distinction.
The workers choose AfD or Union because they don't want to apologize to leftists for their pork schnitzel, their politically incorrect language or the dream of a Mallorca vacation.
