How do we set ourselves apart from the right wing? Do we even need to do so? Where does guilt by association start? How do we deal with approval from the wrong end of the spectrum? Is a statement automatically taboo if a right-wing politician also propagates it? These questions are the focus of heated debates among progressives. The former leading figure of the party "Die Linke" is at the centre of the dispute: Sahra Wagenknecht’s opponents accuse her of pandering to the right-wing fringe and of wanting to establish a "cross-front" with her public ruminations on founding her own party. At the phil.cologne, she discusses the meaning of left and right and the problem of determining political positions in complex times with the historian Per Leo ("Mit Rechten reden"). Mod.: Svenja Flaßpöhler
