Coup de hache! (2022)

Coup de hache: porter un coup à l’aide d’une hache. Historiquement le coup de hache a été la première étape de la colonisation. Présentement des méthodes d’abattage plus sophistiquées renvoient le coup de hache à la résistance. Ex: «Crisser un coup de hache dans la machine capitaliste de destruction de la nature!»

MayDay 2021: We don’t want this world they are trying to sell us!

  • MayDay 2021: We don’t want this world they are trying to sell us!
  • Meet up at 4PM at Jarry park, at the corner of Gary-Carter and St-Laurent.

The pandemic we are mired in precarize everyone and highlights serious injustices. The stimulus wished by the leaders is an economic stimulus which is not addressed to us. It is not addressed to the artists and other people who don’t make enough profit to merit the right to exist. It does not concern sex workers, whose existence itself is still criminalized. This stimulus ignores handicapped people, the marginalized, those with mental health issues. The stimulus they talk about, it is for the oil companies, the Bombardier corporations, the party friends like Guzzo, but it is not for us. To let the governments save us from the crisis they created themselves through the constant cuts to healthcare and through their "snowbird" lives, would be to accept death. What we need to stimulate is not the economy, but the struggles for our rights and the end of capitalist exploitation.

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.

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.

2018 Anticapitalist MayDay - corner of Sherbrooke/Amherst, 6PM

Now as before, they are rich because we are poor.

The financial masters of the Western world and seven of their political puppets will meet later this year at la Malbaie. They will fight to continue the exploitation of the global South and the pillaging of natural resources. The G7 will be a magnificient circus, paid for by our own exploitation. Paid by those who break themselves at work, by cut to social services, to education, to healthcare, to human dignity. A circus which will encourage free work given by unpaid internship, which will support the staggering profits of real estate moguls forcing us outside our homes. A circus whose sole goal is to promote an immoral statu quo. Imperialism and colonialism will be celebrated, at the expense of those who produce most of the world's wealth. But it is not too late to fight back.

Appel à la grève sociale le 1er mai !

Depuis de nombreuses années, on nous dit qu’il faut se serrer la ceinture, que le gouvernement doit sauver l’économie, qu’il faut rembourser la sacro-sainte dette et qu’il nous faut absolument prendre des mesures d’austérité. Durant ce temps, c’est dans nos conditions de vie qu’ils ont coupé. Alors que les grandes entreprises et les plus riches de notre société ne cessent d’augmenter leurs profits, nous, au bas de la pyramide sociale, on a de la difficulté à joindre les deux bouts.

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.
