RECOMMENDED READING
ON ERIN O'TOOLE'S APPEALS TO "WORKERS"
Rawan Abdelbaki, “Erin O’Toole is No Ally of Labour – He’s a Conman”
"...what we are witnessing is the most savvy effort in some time by a Canadian Conservative leader to adopt the right-wing populist playbook of economic nationalism, fused to an agenda of corporate tax cuts, unfair trade deals, and militarism."
ON "FIGHTING TO WIN"
John Clarke, “OCAP and the Power of Disruptive Action.
"If the period ahead is marked by increased levels of social conflict, mass social mobilization in response will be a real prospect. Disruptive collective action, fighting to win, may unfold on a different scale."
ON THE STATE
Colin Barker, “What do we mean by the state?”
"The aim of all those who want working class self-emancipation has to be the destruction of the capitalist state. Its existence is incompatible with the development of socialism."
