Yes, I am a member of the Left Party.

Yes, I am a member of the Left Party.
And I will remain one.

Not as provocation. Not as a gag. Not as a side note.
But as a fact.

Because this story is not an “anecdote from the old days,” but an example of how parties work when a person doesn’t fit their desired image.

The trigger: 2017, an Endgame demonstration — and suddenly the line starts burning

Many people know a video of mine from 2017, recorded at an Endgame-Demonstration.
Opposite us stood counter-demonstrators — including people from DIE LINKE The Left Party.

Back then, for many, the roles were very simple:

Here are the ones.
There are the others.
And everyone please stay in the box you were put in.

Only: that didn’t fit me.

Because what most people didn’t know back then:

At that point, I had already been a for about ten months Member of the Leftwing-Party and specifically in the district association of Northern Saxony..

And that’s exactly how I introduced myself:
As a party member.

Not as an opponent.
Not as an enemy image.
Not as someone who only shows up somewhere because of prejudice.

But as someone who is politically organized, who forms their own view — and who stands on the side of the peace activists.

And from that moment on, something happened that doesn’t surprise me to this day, but keeps getting confirmed again and again:

Suddenly, the red phones started ringing off the hook.


The party’s panic question: “So where exactly is Liebich a member?”

From that moment on, it was no longer about content.
No longer about arguments.
No longer about what was actually being discussed there.

It was only about one thing:

“Where exactly is Mrs. Liebich a member?”

The answer was clear:

📍 In Northern Saxony. In Nordsachsen.

And that, apparently, was the problem.

Because from that point on, the pressure came — not from the base, not from ordinary members, but from the top.

In essence, it sounded like this:

That can’t be. Liebich can’t be a member with us.


When the facts don’t fit, there is no debate — then it gets “solved.”

They could have criticized me.
They could have initiated a formal procedure.
They could have taken the legal route.

But they didn’t.

Instead, it was “solved” differently.

And the trick was as simple as it was bold:

They simply claimed I wasn’t a member.

Or they said I had “at some point” declared my resignation.

And that is the point where politics turns into pure power technique.

Because:

That is not how membership works.


I paid two years in advance — in cash

What many people don’t know — and what makes this whole story so clear:

I paid my membership fees for two years in advance..

And I paid in cash..

That payment was later transferred back to me by the party..

And only after that did they start claiming I was “no longer a member.”

And when the press asked questions, they invented the next legend:

They allegedly “found out” I wasn’t a member because I had not paid any fees.

That is not just wrong.
It is a retroactive construction.

Because the reality is:

I paid.
I even paid in advance.
And the party actively transferred the money back — and then acted as if that settled everything.

But that’s not how it works.


Membership does not end through a refund or a “retroactive decision”

Then came the next claim:

They supposedly “determined” my resignation afterwards.

That is nonsense, too.

In a political party, there are only a few clear ways a membership ends:

Resignation
⚰️ Death
🚫 Expulsion proceedings

Everything else is just talk.
A membership does not end because someone internally wants it to end.
Or because someone “higher up” applies pressure.
Or because it fits the media narrative better to say: “She doesn’t belong there.”


And even if payments had been overdue: Then the party would have had to issue a reminder

Even if you pretended contributions hadn’t been paid — which they had — one basic principle still applies:

If membership fees are overdue, the party is obligated to send a reminder..

That didn’t happen.

No reminder.
No deadline.
No proper procedure.
No clarification.

Instead, there was a refund — and then the claim that I was “no longer a member” because supposedly no fee had been paid.

That’s not just politically dubious — it’s organizationally simply unprofessional.


Why there is still no expulsion procedure to this day

A formal party expulsion procedure would be the clean way.

But that’s exactly the path they’re not taking.

And the reason is obvious:

If they started an expulsion procedure, they would have to admit that I am a member.
Then they would have to explain why they claimed something different for years.
Then they would have to correct their own story — to the public, to party officials, and to elected representatives.

And that’s exactly what they don’t want.

Because then they would have to admit:

They didn’t just work against me.
They also lied to their own party.

And not even because of a political dispute — but because they wanted to “get rid of” someone who didn’t fit the desired narrative.


The point is: I was accepted as a member — and once it’s valid, it’s valid

And that’s why the truth is as simple as it is uncomfortable:

I was accepted as a member.

And once something is valid, it is valid.

You can’t “phone away” a membership.
You can’t simply claim it away.
You can’t erase it retroactively just because it’s embarrassing.

If a membership is meant to end, there are rules.
And those rules don’t only apply when they’re convenient.


Yes: I’m a member of the Left Party. And I remain one — honorary member.

That’s why I’m saying it as clearly as the party itself never has:

I am a member of the Left Party.
And I remain one.

So to speak: an honorary member.

Whether it suits them or not.

Because when a party tries to replace reality with mere claims, then this is not just a personal issue.

It reveals how politics in Germany often works:

Not through truth,
but through control.
Not through procedure,
but through pressure.
Not through rules,
but through whatever story they want to tell “to the outside world”.

And that is exactly why this story belongs in the public.

Because the truth doesn’t disappear just because it makes someone inside the apparatus uncomfortable.
