Show Notes:

Marxism and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics by Jin Huiming

I know we're supposed to be continuing our study of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, but with shit poppin' off between the Canadian Government and the so-called "Trucker" Convoy, I had to make this episode a deep dive.

I mean a DEEEEEP dive, this is a whopper of a 2.5 hour episode covering both the history of the Convoy Protest and the recently enacted Emergencies Act by PM Justin Trudeau, effectively suspending Canadians' Charter Rights across the country.

......

EPISODE NOTE: If you want to skip over the timeline of the protest and focus on analysis of the Emergencies Act jump to 1 Hour 45 Minutes.

......

Topics Covered in this Episode:

1. The Timeline "Trucker Convoy"

2. Shady Protest Leaders/Organizers

3. Who's Funding the Protest? & the GiveSendGo Hack

4. American Funding & Influence in the Protest

5. The Economic Impact of the Blockades

6. The Weapons Bust & Armed Protestors in Alberta

7. Analyzing the Emergencies Act

8. The Communist Party of Canada's Criticism of the Emergencies Act

We wrap up the episode with some things to think about like...

What can we learn from the Canadian State's response to this major disruptive event?

How would a Proletarian Government respond to foreign funded and supported protests based on misinformation?

We're back! After an extended break, I've finally recorded another episode. We're taking a short break from our study of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and discussing a couple current events:

1. Rising Tension on the Russia/Ukraine Border

2. The Trucker Protests in Canada and their reactionary roots

Next week we'll continue our deep dive into Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, but for now, damn it feels good to be back!
