Ines Schwerdtner is the newly elected cochair of German left-wing party Die Linke. In an interview with Jacobin, she explains how she wants to reconnect the party with a working-class base.

Feel like this is not enough, ngl. their defense on abstaining over redefining anti-semitism is weak, their nord-stream position is kinda true but like - chemical industry is fucked without cheap gas, not auto industry. But hopefully they could figure their reconnection to workers out, because spd is even more shit

      This is a longstanding formulaic Trotskyist agitation. Often this kind of thing is written and then only read by 20 people.

      I’m gonna wager that the author is either Trotskyist or in a formerly Trotskyist organization. Gonna go read it and see if I was right.

        Ines Schwerdtner is cochair of Die Linke.

        Just someone from this party who allegedly is more left leaning and dares to to speak about “working class”, something absolutely uncommon there.
