Call for an Anticapitalist Contingent at the Global Climate Strike March of September 24th

Another big protest for climate, what's the point?

Of course it'll be nice to have as many people as there was in 2019, but in the end, even Greta couldn't make our governments change their policies. Well, ok, it falls a few days after the federal election, and we can hope that it can put some pressure on the bewly elected officials... But we know it won't: whoever is in power after the elections, nothing significant will be done, nothing significant has ever been done for climate in so-called Canada. Since the beginning of colonization, the State steals, exploits and destroys the land on which we live and which, ironically, ensure our survival.

Post-MayDay communiqué: In action despite being confined!

This past MayDay, like each year for over a century, was the International Workers' Day. Despite being confined, many people took action to redecorate the city. The situation might seem grim, but there are still a few positive observations we can make.

The air in our city is clearer that it has been for over a century. Oil consumption slows down and greenhouse gases production diminishes. For many people, being confined is an opportunity to review our unhealthy relationship with work within an hyperperformist and hyperproductivist society.

This MayDay, resistance continues despite the confinement!

In these times of pandemic, capital kills more than ever. Workers are left without equipment in hospitals. Confinement falls upon us because our government did too little, too late. Rich landlords who brought the virus back from their latest trip are angered by a rent strike that their penniless tenants have no other choice but to partake in. The people dying right now are among the most vulnerable, from grocery store clerks, to delivery workers, prisoners, homeless folks, and undocumented migrants. All of this while the most fortunate get to work from home. Nevertheless, social distancing remains an important way to reduce transmission, and this is why WE WILL NOT MEET PHYSICALLY FOR A MAYDAY PROTEST. We will however try to make resistance as visible as possible, given the difficult context.

Journal 2020 - Heatstroke!

Surprise! After years of environmental destruction, the foreshadowed crisis is upon us. It's hard not to notice that the climate is fucked. And undoubtedly, the capitalist system is to blame. A radical critique of the issue is in order and we have to act now if we want to avoid the worst.

Anticapitalist MayDay Post-Demonstration Press Release

  • No interview will be given to corporatist mass media.
  • Special fuck you to Québecor Média and its peddlers of hate.
  • Others can contact the CLAC at info@clac-montreal.net

Why did we protest again?

May 1st was created out of workers' struggles leaded by immigrants. The struggle took place on this continent more than a hundred years ago. Today, globalized imperialist capitalism created conditions which forces millions of people to leave their home in order to find a refuge to survive. These millions of people are place in situations of extreme vulnerability, creating a stateless and exploitable population. According to an article published in the Devoir today, the risk to suffer from workplace accident causing severe wounds or death is twice as high for foreign workers.

Brochure on the history of MayDay: "Chicago, mai 1886" [In French only]

Where does the habit of organizing demonstration every May 1st comes from? Warm weather, blooming flowers, or just the need to walk around? Nothing of the sort, even if it can helps... In reality this date is a symbol for unions everywhere, the remembrance of the struggle of American workers for the 8-hour days taking place at the end of the XIXth century.

16 ans de luttes anticapitalistes à Montréal : De l'Internationale de la résistance et l'Action mondiale des peuples

L'appel lancé par les zapatistes, deux ans après leur soulèvement armé dans les montagnes du sud du Mexique, a renouvelé l’idée d’une Internationale dans les années 1990. C'est de cette Première rencontre intercontinentale pour l’humanité et contre le néolibéralisme, qui s'est déroulée au Chiapas en 1996, qu'a émergé la « nébuleuse Internationale » se définissant comme : « Un réseau collectif de toutes nos luttes et résistances particulières ». Rappelons que le soulèvement zapatiste a eu lieu le 1er janvier 1994, date d'entrée en vigueur de l'Accord de libre-échange nord-américain (ALÉNA). Les manifestations de cette Internationale de la résistance prendront dès lors comme cibles les accords économiques et les sommets des élites de ce monde.

Another world is possible... if we destroy capitalism!

Meet up at Place Pasteur, St-Denis street (between Ste-Catherine and Maisonneuve), on Thursday, August 11th, at 6PM!

Because, for the first time ever, the World Social Forum takes place in North America. This is an historic opportunity to see another side of modern capitalism: instead of seeing the poverty and exploitation of the Southern states, the attendees will be able to observe the wealth and decadence of the North.

L’appropriation par dépossession

Le capitalisme est souvent simplement décrit comme un mode de production basé sur l’achat de la force de travail dans le but de l’utiliser pour produire des biens afin de tirer un profit du travail effectué. Par exemple, dans nos sociétés, les entreprises tirent des profits, qui sont en fait la différence entre le prix de revente des biens produits et le coût du travail, des matières premières et des frais reliés à l'usure de la machinerie mis en œuvre pour les produire.
