So, the local IWW branch produced these stickers a few months back. Sadly, I think they're even more relevant now and I fear we're going to see an escalation of xenophobic rhetoric in the coming months. Have people been organizing around this? If so, any stories? Successful ideas to emulate?

Has anyone been talking to coworkers and doing workplace organizing around the issue?

Alright, bit of a potentially self-indulgent post here (I promise to make up for it with a "serious" organizing-related post some time). It's one I dropped in the the CanadaLeft sub, but didn't really get any response beyond a few upvotes. Since then, the election of a certain flashy doufus south of the border has made finding others with common analysis feel more urgent, so . . .

I'm just curious if there are other people in Canada outside of academia with interest in non-Leninist Marxisms, autonomia, etc. Some particular reference points for me are Correspondence/Facing Reality (C.L.R. James and friends), Midnight Notes Collective, thinkers around the International Wages for Housework Campaign, etc.

In Canada, I know there was some of this in the "New Group" who were active among the postal workers in the 1970s and Wages Due Lesbians in Toronto. I also think find some of the ideas that came out the "Impossiblist" tradition of the Socialist Party of Canada fascinating, though I find their practical approach . . . uh . . . lacking.

Anyway, if y'all are out there, I'm curious what you're up to. Are you part of an organization? What sort of "work" do you do?

Hi guys, i was looking for ways to support the protests at Universities in support of Palestine but i cannot support the American ones because it uses Venmo and Venmo does not accept my cell number.

So, Ive been looking for ways to donate to the people protesting at Canadian Universities.

Can anyone help out with some info? Link?

Much appreciated.

Listen until the end, Lee Reed's verse goes hard at the end, very cathartic

There is a lot of random parenti content and tiny maoist accounts, but nothing really big afaik. Does anyone have any favorites?

I've been playing out how socialism, or later communism, would one day exist in Canada. And there is literally and unfortunately not a single way it could happen.

You have our Unions and NDP protecting capitalism. You have Unionized and working class Canadians moving to More neoliberalism and Pierre Poillivre.

The 2008 crisis didn't end it.

Covid didn't put a dent in capitalism's legitimacy among Canadians.

Environmentalism is a debate about the most neoliberal no solution of carbon tax.

I'm thinking 100-200 years out here and there's just no way.

Am I missing something?
