So glad now that I detached from WSWS a few years ago, after associating with them for many years. I too shake my head at the ignorance of "leftist" organizations.
The “bark”Of Madness coming from the world socialist website is not
Madness . Its entirely predictable.
Leftists and fascists are cut from the same cloth. Nazis were racial national socialists . Soviet communist were class based international
Socialists
Its no wonder then that socialists would condemn and smear a grassroots human rights movement like the trucker protests. The truckers stand in opposition to centralized coercive power .
The socialists of course worship power, but only when it is wielded by them in the manner they choose
As always our WSWS boys are obsessed with those increasingly bogus labels of “Left” and “Right”. And it’s interesting that they have no trouble at all with SOME conspiracy theories:
“A crucial element in this political conspiracy has been the promotion of the Convoy as a grassroots movement of truckers.”
Now the identikit bit:
“... intimidating workers, and waving Confederate flags and swastikas...comprised of notorious right-wing extremists and outright fascists...drawn from a cesspool of far-right, anti-Muslim, Christian fundamentalist .... libertarian groups. ... far-right truckers’ group ...”
Bogus logic:
“The claims that the Convoy is a movement of and for truckers are no less a fraud. Some 90 percent of Canadian truckers are fully vaccinated.”
So what? You would have thought that any real Marxist movement would be familiar with the common phenomenon of the downtrodden just going along with coercion but still hating it and wanting to take a stand against it. Indeed perhaps hating it even more BECAUSE they went along with it.
But even if the convoy does involve truckers, our Trotters are concerned to draw a wedge between them and The Real Regular Proletariat:
“In so far as the Convoy does involve truckers they are largely “independent,” owner-operator truckers, a generally better-off and distinct petty bourgeois social layer.”
Blah blah “QAnon” blah blah “he decried the “stench” of “political Islam””
I’m getting a definite hint of a stench here.
In another WSWS article we have an example of both Orwellian reversal and Jungian projection when the WSWS described the anti-vax movement as “this tiny and popularly despised movement”. Mirror mirror!
And in yet another piece:
"The events of the past three weeks reveal that Canadian democracy is breaking down. The ruling class, fearful of social opposition to its reactionary policies, is turning to authoritarianism and the mobilization of the far right."
The ruling class are organising opposition to ... the covid lockdown strategy? i.e. the very strategy they themselves have been relentlessly pushing? And the "social opposition" are ... those who are hiding under their beds to "keep safe"?
I don't think this madness will end with peaceful demonstrations because they don't want the madness to stop, and they are willing to use violence to ensure it continues. There will have to be blood on the streets. I hate to use the phrase but I think it applies: this time it's different.
"far-right Freedom Convoy"
I don't always lick the boots of fascist governments and evil faceless corporations. But when I do, GOVERN ME HARDER DADDY.

I love Mark Crispin Miller and his superior brain.

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the CIA
It's illegal to protest, said every deposed leader.
