I'm going to the Your Party Founding Conference from the 29th to the 30th of November in 2025 with @maia and other delegates. With over 50,000 members, Your Party is the largest parliamentary organization in the United Kingdom that truly represents the working class, as it isn't just planning on managing a broken system or fighting against symptoms, but dares to point out and criticize the root of our problems: the capitalist world and its electoral system.

I am infinitely thankful for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, as well as all other local community organizers and members, for starting something that will go down in the UK's history and shake the foundation of our money-driven system. We say: PEOPLE OVER PROFIT!

As a member of the German left (Die Linke), I know how rough it can be existing as a democratic socialist within a world subject to the contradictions of capital. However, we must never steer away from our goal, and on our path there, never forget one thing: we organize hope. That's what socialists do. It's the one resource more scarce than crude oil or good prime ministers. Hope. A finite belief that a better world is possible. I believe there can be no crime greater in the age of neoliberalism than for the ruling class to have robbed us of hope. Nobody has opinions anymore, they state their analysis of the world as fact and their political actions as the only possible consequence. They pretend our solutions are utopian and by doing so smother any social justice movement before it could even start. When in reality another world is possible, otherwise their propaganda would be unnecessary. The war over hegemony, authority, and your future has been outsourced into the one space capitalism has yet to occupy: your mind.

Having hope, despite everything, must be the most revolutionary act there is.

Trotz(t) alledem! ️

On the airplane now, see you in Liverpool! ️

Reading through the first draft of the Your Party constitution as well as other founding documents with other delegates @maia. We are discussing what motions to vote for!

@ErikUden a motion to ban the use of Impact font for any formal or informal purpose, and for other purposes. Addendum: Comic Sans and all derivatives also banned.

@ErikUden If they really want to go full Impact, Bebas Neue is at least nice to look at.

@piecritic I will bring this up

Reading through the first draft of the Your Party constitution as well as other founding documents with other delegates @maia. We are discussing what motions to vote for!

After reading the documents, I'm even more convinced of Your Party. Finally, I have collected them all.

Your Party won't establish itself in Northern Ireland, as a point of principle, because it supports Irish reunification.

Oh yeah, we're ready #YourParty

At the Eve of Conference Rally with Zarah Sultana. There's tons of info material, I'm handed a paper, a political statement, or motion every five minutes by some different interest group. People have been preparing for this well and I'm full of hope!

The energy in the room is incredible #YourParty

What a hopeful start for #YourParty

The first speaker of the rally was a representative of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union. He spoke of unity and called for Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn to work together. #YourParty

The second speaker, Audrey White, is a local to Liverpool. She's a representative of the Merseyside Pensioners Association, a radical activist group using civil disobedience to protest against genocide, war, and militarization. She spoke of the importance of supporting Palestine Action, opposing genocide, and especially organizing outside of the parliament in movements.

“I'm thankful to whoever invited me, because I'm a terrorist.”

“Labour has always betrayed the working class.”

“We win more from activism, than we'll ever win from parliament.”

She's from the platform for a Democratic Party which is an internal group trying to push Your Party into their direction, of which there are many already. #YourParty

The current (4th) speaker from the Democratic Socialists is criticizing the fact that some motions have been dismissed before the Founding Conference. He's speaking in favor of a collective leadership. #YourParty

The fifth speaker is a subway driver from London and a union thereof. She's speaking of the migrant and refugee experience in the United Kingdom.

“Men, I see your pain too. Your dignity isn't stolen by women or LGBTQ+ people.”

“The commonwealth isn't commonwealth. It's common-theft.”

She's calling for solidarity with Jamaica and Cuba.

“If the government can fund war, it can fund welfare.”

A short statement by Jeremy Corbyn was read with a lot of positive resonance #YourParty

The current speaker is an ex-representative of the Green Party who defected to Your Party

Among many things, he spoke of the importance of allowing dual-members in the party #YourParty

The current speaker used to be member on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party and has also now defected to #YourParty
