Can the Left march for victory while losing the working class? There is a speech circulating in left-wing circles in Dublin that ought to unsettle every socialist in Britain. Not the kind of unsettling that produces a conference resolution or a letter to the Guardian. The kind that keeps you awake at three in the morning. The kind that names something you have half-known for years but lacked the honesty, or the courage, to say aloud. It raises the question nobody on the British left seems willing to answer. While tens of thousands march through London holding the correct signs and saying the correct words, something else is happening quietly across the country. In places like Scunthorpe, Middlesbrough, Grimsby, and dozens of towns that built the Labour movement, people are not marching. They are not voting. They are not listening anymore. The biggest political story in Britain is not Reform, the Conservatives, or even Labour. The biggest political story is the slow, quiet withdrawal of the working class from politics altogether. For years, the left has traded solidarity for signalling, class for culture, and real communities for applause from people who already agree. It talks endlessly about representation, but less and less about wages, housing, industry, energy, or the material conditions people actually live in. The truth is uncomfortable but simple. The left did not just lose the working class. It slowly stopped being a working-class movement and became a liberal one instead. Somewhere along the way, the movement founded by trade unionists, miners, dockers, engineers and factory workers became a movement of graduates, professionals, NGOs and think tanks. It stopped organising in communities and started marching in cities. It stopped building power and started performing virtue. It stopped listening and started instructing. The working class hasn’t disappeared. It hasn’t turned fascist. It hasn’t forgotten its interests. It just stopped listening to a left that stopped listening first. The left did not lose the working class overnight. It lost them slowly, through a thousand small decisions, each one dressed up as progress. And if the left cannot reconnect with the people it was created to represent, it will continue to march in London, trend online, win arguments at dinner parties, and lose the country.

«A communist is by nature an internationalist, but he is also a patriot» –Fidel Castro "A communist is stronger than a capitalist, because a communist cannot be bought for any amount of money. A communist has a conscience, while a capitalist has nothing but money. He doesn't even have a homeland; for him, his homeland is wherever he gets paid more. A communist is by nature an internationalist, but he is also a patriot. He fulfills his international duty in any country, while at the same time bearing communist responsibility towards his own people." –Fidel Castro Source #Cuba #Castro @BeornAndTheShieldmaiden 🚀Boost🚀
