A big political shift is taking place at the heart of the European Union and NATO. The Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB/PVDA), a Marxist organization once completely exiled to the fringes of politics has surged in the polls, tying for first place in Brussels and threatening to shake up the traditional Belgian and European establishment. In this video we try to understand how a group of 1960s Maoist students, who abandoned their universities to work on factory floors, built a modern digital operation that now outpaces mainstream parties. And what would happen if a Marxist force takes executive control of the host nation of the EU and NATO?
