Dear PAOV,
Over the last week we have heard from many of you that you are struggling to find hope in an increasingly fear based world. Given that climate change was not a prominent dialogue in the election and now is being questioned as a hoax, it is easy to lose hope when we have come so far.

A Propaganda System: How Canada’s Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War and Exploitation reveals why most Canadians believe their country is a force for good in the world, despite a long history of supporting empire, racism and exploitation. The book details the vast sums Global Affairs Canada, Veterans Affairs and the Department of National Defence spend articulating a one-sided version of Canada’s foreign policy. With the largest PR machine in the country, the Canadian Forces promotes its worldview through a history department, university, journals, war commemorations, think tanks, academic programs and hundreds of public relations officers.

Monday, Nov. 14, 6:30 pm Socialist Fightback MeetingUVic SUB B025
We know that everybody is
interested in talking about the election of Donald Trump right now so we're
preparing an extra event in November for this very purpose. Watch out for
invitations and posters to "How to Defeat Trump".
In the meantime though, without revolutionary theory there can be no
revolutionary movement. Our American comrades and the IMT have made some
excellent predictions on how this recent election would play out and they do
that on the basis of having studied the methods of Marx at length. Let us
follow their example!
Historically, there were many competing understandings of what socialism meant
and how it could be achieved. The works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were
largely intended to offer a logical analysis of how society develops
historically and why socialism was the natural inheritor of capitalism. Engels
wrote a pamphlet on the subject of how Marxism differed...

PAOV --
As COP22 delegates begin to trickle in to Marrakech, we are counting the days until the Conference begins. It is important as we land here, that we are not only tourists here to enjoy the sites and sounds and smells, but also activists here to learn about the incredibly rich culture and history of the place in which we will be working. Over the next few days we are looking forward to connecting with other young people in Marrakech and from further afar to learn more about the politics and social movements that define their day to day lives.
