http://www.pcr-rcp.ca/en/archives/2016they say so little in so much space, but im assuming they're in the right here because the idea of, for one, defining the proletariat to include *non wage-earners* seems ridiculously pomo. for value to take the form of surplus-value, it logically necessitates wage-labor, right?

e: i should be clear i'm ignoring the fact that there's no proletariat in kkklanada

Yeah I was forced to skim this bc it's so repetitive but it seems like the ultraleftism of Quebec split from the rightism of the rest of the Canadian movement. Both seem wrong but the ultraleftism is productive I think. Even if the rightists are right when they say there's no point in handing out newspapers or building urban base areas for guerrilla warfare in Toronto it's a far better dream than abandoning it for increased facebook presence and tailing the IWW. The main party shows all the symptoms of petty-bourgeois revisionism and I exect it will dissolve itself as a communist org within 5 years. The Quebec one wants to turn every protest into an anarchist riot and reacts to the revisionists fear of violence by pretending it has no consequences at all for state repression. Hopefully the Quebec party can emerge from this better and shed some of the leftist posture which is probably a reaction to the rightism of what seems to be an entryist takeover by academics and identity politicians. Though allowing this takeover to happen seems to have gone unanalyzed, they specifically deny the regional differences of Quebec to be determinate so I'm not sure how they justify how easily the party was conquered. Also hopefully all involved can learn to write better.

The thing on proletarian feminism is worth reading though. Not because it says anything new but because I can understand why it was called transphobic. Publishing that anywhere on the left internet except for here would get you instantly excommunicated, the phantom struggle against "TERFs" has been all but won and women have been silenced as "cis oppressors" of trans people.

i don't know what they mean by armed propaganda. like there's the shit that's been going on in the US where more leftists, and especially maoists, are starting to open carry at demonstrations but there's an actual limit to the propaganda value of simply standing around with guns or actually managing to thwart the advance of militiamen. then there's bombing safeways and the senate but i'll have to go back to the bureau to check how successful those actions were.

i think they're talking about this, which is fitting since some of the american maoist groups reprint marighella's minimanual. it's mentioned in passing here.

i hate to ask, but as i only briefly skimmed it and i already read 30 pages from them the other day, can you tell me where the actual controversial part of the document in this article is? lol. the section about canadian imperialism was interesting but that's all i actually read through. or is the whole thing worth reading?
