Like Grace, when I went to their Manifesta for the first time this year, I was blown away by what the Belgian workers party (PTB - @ptbbelgique.bsky.social) is doing to revive a class-focused politics. The Left in other countries need to learn from them.

Going Back to Class The Workers’ Party of Belgium is defying the trend of leftist movements losing touch with the working class by using community organising to build a Marxist party with mass appeal.

“The system is designed to make people feel small.

“And I think that the basic thing of the Left is to empower people, to make them feel part of something - a bigger collectivity, a class, a movement they can be proud of.”

Great, very readable introduction by @graceblakeley.bsky.social to the world of the Workers Party in Belgium. They are one of the most interesting left-wing parties in the world right now. They're building a real base in the working class. Lots to learn! tribunemag.co.uk/2024/12/goin...
