It would also tell us a lot about who is actually behind the movement. We can still give them the benefit of the doubt though because it's simply the case that a lot of East Germans want to maintain traditions such as no arms exports and a soft stance towards Russia (seeing themselves in a same role as Britain was with the US). Gyisi is the more articulate less unhinged (which says more about Wagenknecht) voice of that tradition though.
