    The Way I See It - Afghanistan Revisited

    Those of us who support CPA, including the members of CPS assert that anti-Sovietism was and continues to be pro-war and anti-peace. During the darkest days of the cold-war when the threat of nuclear war loomed over the planet, the Soviet Union was the main force of restraint over the worst of the US imperialist reactionary forces thirsting for war.

    Prime Minister Harper (Assisted by Jim Flaherty and Peter Van Loan) Leads the Whole World Forward To the New “Enlightened Sovereignty” of the 21st Century

    Prime Minister Harper’s address to the World Economic Forum (WEF)[1] in Davos Switzerland January 28, 2010 can’t be dismissed as just unctuous and vapid; it was worse than that.  Harper adopting his familiar and grating patronizing manner underwhelmed the elite audience of capitalist intellectual luminaries, by suggesting that minority Conservative Government economic policies under Harper’s leadership is the example the nations of the world must follow to emerge triumphant from the worst capitalist depression since the market crash of October 1929.

    Organized Labour and the Politics of the Class Struggle Today

    A Convention of the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) is always a significant event in the struggle of the working class to defeat capitalism and replace it with socialism.  Only the Communists strive to take responsibility for the whole revolutionary process underway in our own country and globally.  Every revolutionary class conscious worker is concerned that the Communist Party becomes strengthened and more effective in fulfilling its historic responsibilities to the working class of Canada and all of its peoples and for the victorious outcome of the cause of the International Communist Movement.

    The Way I See It! - Some Critical Comments

    The main link that can move the entire political process forward is a clearly articulated and unambiguous revolutionary working class program to confront US-Canadian corporate power and its stranglehold on Parliament, the State, the military and the economy. That task must be the main theme of the upcoming 36th Convention of the Communist Party of Canada (CPC). From the convention an appeal that reaches out to all of organized labour and the democratic forces of our country with a plan to unite electorally to defeat Harper, and decisively, will be influential within labour and garner widespread appeal with Canadian workers. That is a concentration task and if it is solved, the organizational tactics to achieve it can be worked out.

    Canadian Workers Labour 5 Years for Free

    Striking CUPE public sector workers in Ontario are revealing the rapacious nature of capitalism better than any number of "exposures", op-eds and news articles by the academic "left" press.

What Was Said

Tim Buck – Steps To Power
Published 1925 by the Trade Union Educational League

Under capitalism there can be no equilibrium and no peace.  The varying intensity of the class struggle in not a result of the machinations of bad capitalists modified at times by the “justness” of good capitalists, any more than it is due to the efforts of “professional agitators”.  It flows from the ceaseless struggle on the part of capitalists to increase their profits, and on the part of workers to maintain their standard of living.  Fluctuations and working class defeats must occur – and will continue – so long as the aim of those controlling the labour movement is social peace.  Because that in turn demands a measure of social equilibrium which the very nature of the capitalism renders impossible.

Our problem and the aim of this booklet is to direct our activities and the activities of our organizations so that, instead of merely functioning as a kind of bargain counter across which officials continually haggle with the boss in a futile effort to maintain a balance between wages and the cost of living, our organizations will also engage in struggles for more fundamental things; which struggles n turn, while strengthening the unions, will bring them into direct conflict with capitalism as a system.

CPC 36th Central Convention

36th Convention of the Communist Party of Canada 
The Communist Party of Canada will meet in Toronto Ontario February 5-7, 2010. The Draft Main Political Resolution has been issued. In it the CPC provides a political analysis of the current capitalist crisis and the main political tasks of the Canadian working class to mount a “counter-offensive”. The CPC calls for establishing a “Peoples’ Coalition” to combat the most brazen attacks on Canadian democracy. From the Main Draft Political Resolution:
 
“Since our Party’s 35th Central Convention in early 2007, the Canadian domestic situation has been characterized by a deepening of capitalism’s interconnected economic, political, social and environmental crises.   This has gone beyond the occasional cyclical recession or political upheaval; it has become a profound crisis threatening the future of Canada. But for the revolutionary forces, such a crisis also offers the opportunity to win working class support for fundamental change in society. The Communist Party of Canada calls for a truly dramatic shift away from the failed policies of neoliberal capitalism, and for the creation of a People’s Coalition which can begin to take the country in such a new direction.”
