As 2021 Gets Underway
Impotence of the Ruling Elite Regarding Economic and Health Crises
The ruling elite in Canada are expressing dismay at their inability
to even explain how to combat the twin economic and health crises, let
alone propose anything concrete. Leaders of the cartel parties in
Parliament and economists are said to be bewildered and feel helpless
in the face of the continuing crises and are reduced to saying how
bad things are and attacking one another for not doing more.
Words
expressing dismay at the continuing twin crises and attacking one
another are of little use, as are appeals that the rulers should listen
to the workers and respect them. The only meaningful action is to
encourage the fighting contingents of the working class in workplaces
across the country, as well working people in the communities and
teachers and staff in the educational institutions to mobilize
themselves directly to deal with the economy and the value it produces
in the context of how the twin crises of the economy and the health
care system can be solved for the common good.
Workers' Forum will continue to give space for demands and
actions which favour the workers, including the demand to stop paying
the rich, for not-for-profit health care, long-term care and seniors'
homes and similar measures which benefit the people and help resolve
the crises in their favour.
