    05. Prepare the student strike!

    The post secondary education system is mired in a deep crisis. Already, tens of thousands of staff have been laid off, hundreds of programs have been cut and entire campuses have been shut down affecting tens of thousands of students. And now governments are moving to offload the cost of this crisis onto the backs of students by cutting funding, cutting grants and raising tuition. The conclusion many are drawing is that the only way to stop this is with a student strike. A strike is set for Nova Scotia and a student strike movement is developing in Ontario. As more governments release their spring budgets, we can expect more cuts. The only way to stop this is by mobilizing the widest possible layers for a student strike. But how can we build a student strike - and how can we win? This week, Joel is joined by Marco La Grotta to discuss this question drawing from experience with the 2019 Ryerson student strike and the 2012 Quebec student strike.

    04. The Death of Liberal Environmentalism

    While there is a widespread feeling of hopelessness as the government withdraws climate policies, there is no reason to lose hope. This only represents the death of liberal environmentalism - the belief that we can protect the planet under capitalism. This week, Joel is joined by Josie Seaton from the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party to discuss why these policies failed and what we can do to solve the climate crisis.

    03. Epstein: The Personification of Capital

    After resisting and delaying, they were finally forced to release the Epstein files. The 3.5 million pages of documents lay out the seedy wheeling and dealings of Epstein and his associates.The files confirm everything Marxists have explained about the inner workings of the capitalist system itself, politics, morality and law under capitalism.This week Joel is joined by Josh Holroyd, editor of the In Defence of Marxism magazine and member of the International Secretariat of the Revolutionary Communist International. Josh and Joel cut through the various narratives spun in the mainstream media to show what the Epstein saga really represents and the effects this will have on the class struggle.Subscribe to the In Defence of Marxism magazine in English or FrenchRegister for the Montreal Marxist Winter School hereJoin the Revolutionary Communist Party here

    02. Canada and "The New World Order"

    At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney gave an uncharacteristically honest speech. Carney declared that the rules based order is dead and in its place we are faced with a situation in which “great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests.” For this episode of The Class Line, Joel Bergman and Marco La Grotta discuss the significance of Carney’s speech and what the Communist approach is to this new epoch of imperialist rivalry.
