The trade war has begun. Or has it?

The trade war with the US threatens to rapidly shift the situation in Canada and its consequences will destroy the living standards of average workers on both sides of the border.

"Team Canada" would have us believe that the only way out of the crisis is by rallying behind Canadian businesses and Canadian capitalists.

Communists on the other hand believe that we need a working class response to the impending economic dislocation.

In this presentation, Communist Revolution editor Joel Bergman explains the communist position on the trade war and the way forward for workers and youth.

This week, Joel and Alex are joined by Ukrainian Marxist Peter Mikhalenko, to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, what's happening, why, and what position socialists should take. 

We are living in a time of unprecedented upheavals. Capitalism is creating the condition for revolution around the world... even in Canada.

For the vast majority of its existence, humanity has lived in classless societies with egalitarian relations between individuals. By analyzing the development of the earliest class societies, we can begin to understand the material basis for the oppressive class relations that still exist under capitalism.
