## Resource

Proletarian writers | 6 June 2026 Working-class organisations must break all links with Labour and Labour-lite forces, and reinstate genuine, shop-floor democracy. Since the postwar settlement effectively persuaded Britain’s old Communist party (CPGB) to give up the class struggle and devote its energies to supporting the imperialist Labour party, our trade union movement has been in retreat. A retreat that accelerated into a rout following the defeat of the miners in 1984. This situation must be reversed if the working class is to have any chance of acting in its own interests against austerity and war, but the present Labour-aligned leadership is a major barrier to any meaningful revival of union militancy. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe!
