there's another version of the "not in my lifetime, but maybe yours" story.

It's MJ Coldwell, with a young Stephen on his knee, turning to David and saying "It won't be me and it won't be you. This is the one. He'll be the one to be prime minister."

Our CYND retreat was a great success! CYND leaders from across the country gathered to finalize our statement of principles - the Pine River Declaration, begin strategic planning and do trainings on engagement barriers, media and labour & tenant organizing.

[sentient bloomberg terminal @kayrosso1]

There needs to be a drastic intervention in tenant movement here to get away from the de-commodification language which is so vague as to encompass public-private subsidies for “land trusts” and “affordable housing” non-profits. We want EXPROPRIATION.

@CFC_GafferV2 nah we in this for Brad Ward

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@steeplymast @alex_shephard Only if you understand that for Gramsci, the mass socialist political party & trade union are the educators. You don't change "culture" in abstract via media or academia and wait for politics to follow. So it's reshaping common sense by organizing people around material interests

@CaelemSG Yep #TaxTheUpperMiddleClass

[Berkay Koçak @drqerqay]

MMT correctly exposes the myths of neoliberal austerity, but mistakes monetary sovereignty for social power. Without a theory of value, exploitation and capital accumulation, it can explain how the state creates money, but not the limits imposed by capitalist social relations.

@ToryRestored @JamesB1689464 I miss the days when Bernie told people he'd raise middle class taxes to pay for Medicare for All

[ben @drowldr]

@ToryRestored @JamesB1689464 Yeah I completely agree

[ben @drowldr]

@Not_Gilmore oh don't worry that's the plan for the future nationalized grocery system

@BrandonAmyot @RogayStuff Rosa's overstating it a bit it's not *that* close to Barrie

[ben @drowldr]

@Zye55555 big if true

[Rosa 🍊🌹 @RosayStuff]

Today CYND execs from across the country will be meeting in person at a lodge near Barrie, Ontario for our first ever Exec Retreat! We will be doing strategic planning and finalizing our socialist political program, which will be our guiding document for years to come.

i am begging YOU to join your riding association and make this happen 🧡

[Leisure Suit Larry Summers @warmandpunchy]

Potentially 100x more effective than some kind of annoying exchange of barbs in the House

[Megan Romer @meganromer]

Cannot emphasize enough that we are just getting started. The work is not over, it has barely begun, and we need YOU and all of your ideas and energy and unique perspectives and insights to build a diverse, durable working class movement than can end this nightmarish cycle.
