"Happy New Year!" – Soviet New Year’s Card (1944)

"Happy New Year!" – Soviet New Year’s Card (1944)
The Canadian government continues to kowtow to the interests of capital at the expense of what their voters actually asked for (and were promised). These bourgeois parties will never save our public system.
During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.
Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations
Nearly all government departments and federally-funded organizations are expected to propose "savings" of up to 15 per cent of their spending in the next three years.

gwen: I love the aim she takes at our hubris and impatience, our belief in shortcuts and saviours:
"The victory of socialism will not descend from heaven. It can only be won by a long chain of violent tests of strength between the old and the new powers."

they've been relentlessly manufacturing consent for all this nonsense since before i was alive. and even though everyone from here will tell you these people are freaks, they're the only ones who ever get to speak for alberta. you want to stop western alienation? let the rest of us talk.
Western separatism is fake nonsense invented by oil millionaires to get pipelines approved. It has no serious constituency and media should not take it seriously except to site it in this proper context.

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.
This is a fact.
No one will ever be able to refute it."

What remains of organized Christianity is bad both from a communist POV because it's idealist and represents conservative and reactionary social forces and from a psycho-spiritual POV because it forcefully substitutes oppressive dogma for firsthand ecstatic self-knowledge.

The discussion of Canada as "fake or real" is a metaphysical and idealistic distraction which draws us away from the real questions of what is to be done to make life better for the peoples of Canada who are themselves real.

The incorrect attitude that workers don't have to work in socialism stems from petty bourgeois laxness.
Growing up in capitalism has instilled some bourgeois values in all of us. Becoming good socialists means uprooting it.

I'm curious about all the liberal finger-wagging re: "leftist interference" in the recent American elections. It's obviously a strategic move, but are most of the finger-waggers aware of that?

Tributes and reflections on the legacy of Toni Negri usually mention Empire as his most accomplished academic work. In my view, a 1999 essay on Derrida's Spectres of Marx is possibly Negri at his best. Memorable the conclusion, to which I often return.

I wonder how the libs of academia will spin this one in Biden's/Dems favor. More hysteria on Trump? Momentary, fractional increases in the wage-labor share of surpluses?

A banger by Luxemburg about the gradual transformation of capitalism into socialism via the bourgeois state. The following century went on to prove her point.
