Settlers often put national liberation as a secondary or "special interest" concern. This is a mistake! In settler-colonies, it is the *main* concern!

Placing it as primary allows us to correctly analyze Canada and eradicate chauvinism among settlers to build real solidarity.

Statement in Support of MRA Against RCMP Treaty Violations

Full text can be found here: arc-party.org/pub/mra-2025...

At the heart of any capitalist political system is the dictatorship of capitalists.

How much carrot and stick are used changes based on how much wealth there is and which group of people are in question.

The RCMP is a colonial police force whose purpose is to protect the advance of Canada's colonial theft. Join the Micmac Rights Association on Mar. 10th to protest truckhouse raids and the traumatization of the Mi'kmaw people.

Fascism runs on vibes. It doesn't *have* to have any sort of coherent ideology as long as it gets people invested in it. To paraphrase Parenti, it's the rational use of irrationality.

It is impossible at this stage for liberalism to find a way out of fascism. Only socialism can do this.

Liberalism is a (semi-)coherent ideology that justifies the existence of private property hypocritically using idealist conceptions of human rights.

It *must* allow for and foster oppression in stark contrast to these rights for private property to continue the stream of profits.

Liberalism is an ideology, fascism is a structural arrangement of capitalism.

Fascism does not need a concrete ideology, it will make one up if it must as Mussolini did.

In the US/Can, the fascist structure has used liberalism as a convenient cover.

If you won, you would have to deal with two main issues:

a) SocDem does not undo imperialism and in fact *relies* on it

b) Being useful in a bourgeois parl/leg requires the backing of a solid and organized group. Independents are easily ignored, co-opted, or removed otherwise.

Managed Democracy.

Important reminder re: blue MAGA (and especially white liberals) from Malik el-Shabazz.

"Who cares if the US was fascist before?"

The absence of the correct historical understanding that the US/Can are stable fascist countries fosters chauvinism. This can lead to the degradation of movements re-integrating them into the fascist state because some groups can find blood-soaked comforts.

Some will try and curry favour, and some will keep their heads down and hope death passes them by. But capital comes for everyone, eventually.

The only positive future settlers have is with social and decolonial revolution. Study how revolution is done, so it may be done here.

Many settlers are shocked by these events, but this comes from justifying the existence of the US (and Canada!) while they lie, maim, kill, and steal.

Now that the liberalism is sloughing off, settlers *must* understand:

This is the way the US and Canada have always been, just not to you.

The US system has been fascist for a long time, but the comforts provided to sections of the working classes and the ineptitude of most socialist organizations has ensured continued class collaboration.

But the system can't support that any longer.

The US is shifting from stable fascism to crisis fascism (though it's possible it will be a protracted process).

Changes in the global economy forced a choice on the US: socialism or barbarism, and there is no independent worker organization fighting for socialism yet large enough.

Anglo-Canadians don't even have a historically-constituted common culture or territory. They are not a nation either.

Affinity for Canada can only be affinity for the colonial Canadian state and settlers must decouple their concept of self from it.

Canada is a country because it is a politically separated geographic area run by its own government.

Canada is a state because there is a complex organization controlling that geographic area.

Canada is not a nation because there is no historically-constituted common culture or territory.

Jesus Christ, people on Twitter are doing "As a Canadian" posts again.

Well, "aS A cAnAdIaN," Canada is not a real nation. There is Canada as a country and a state, but there is no Canadian nation.

Real Second International Hours out there.

Lots of people falling in line with "their" bourgeoisie.

I'll add that material conditions are also the limiting factor. Superstructure has independence to influence itself, but always in the end is within the margin of possibilities set by the base.

The only possibility of remaining independent of the US is by also being independent of Canada.

The only way to effectively do this is by siding first and foremost with the national liberation of Indigenous nations. A new settler state won't cut it.

I have bad news for people in Canada who think the state is capable of (or has the desire for) effective resistance against US imperialism.

It's a historical process of merging bourgeois settler states, and we just happen to be living when they're likeliest to make it official.

A fight over who gets to control a colonial system is not revolutionary.

Canada will follow suit, as it always does, because it too is part of that global power system with a fascist structure guiding its movements.

Liberalism is a dead-end alley providing only despair and/or collaboration.

Marxism is the scientific guide to destroying the system.

The thin veneer of liberalism is falling away. The fascist structure underneath that has guided the US state is simply more exposed.

This is not due to one man (or cabal of men), but is the US state's response to their system of global power teetering on the verge of collapse.

The USSR was the main force that defeated the Nazis by far. The US begrudgingly assisted.

Post-WW2, the US used the reconstruction of Europe to cement itself as the global hegemon which necessitated bringing German Nazis into the fold of the American fascist empire.

Settlers fear other settlers will steal stolen land In the wake of comments by U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump about making Canada the 51st state, settlers are anxious about the prospect of their stolen land being stolen by another land’s se…
