I don't think so.
Ultra left can only thrive in an affluent society, but they have no idea how to create or maintain affluence.
 As poverty kicks in, people are more concerned over potatoes than pronouns.
 

I don't understand that comment.
For "ultra left" substitute religion. Historical evidence suggests it can survive and flourish in very poor societies. A combination of authoritarian government and the ideology of a "moral" quality that supersedes wordly possessions.
Listening to the UK radio last night, a  Labour politician was being questioned on whether Ed Milliband’s "Green new deal" was achievable, realistic. Her response was that it was Labour's most popular policy. Her metric for success was that it delivered Labour/herself political power, and she was probably right, it does.
I guess Germany is a little further down the "Green" path than the UK. It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming elections. I doubt we will see a significant correction.
