The following issue deserves a separate post. As I have tried to stress throughout these posts, unions in Canada (and undoubtedly elsewhere) are inadequate organizations for representing the interests of the working class The issue illustrates how union reps limit the development of a critical approach to a society dominated by a class of employers. … Continue reading The Radical Left Needs to Call into Question Existing Social Institutions at Every Opportunity, Part Six
Academic Narrow-mindedness: A Reason for Starting a Blog, Part Two
Introduction This is a continuation of a previous post. In a previous post, I criticized the first reviewer's assessment of an article I had written on collective bargaining and the situation of teachers in Nova Scotia. Before I started this blog, I had sent an article critical of the implied concept of "free collective bargaining." … Continue reading Academic Narrow-mindedness: A Reason for Starting a Blog, Part Two
A Worker’s Resistance to the Capitalist Government or State and Its Representatives, Part Five
This is a continuation of a previous post that illustrates how politically biased the capitalist government or state and its representatives (such as social-democratic social workers) are when it comes to determining real situations--especially when a person self-declares as a Marxist. Just a recap of part of the last post: I filed a complaint with … Continue reading A Worker’s Resistance to the Capitalist Government or State and Its Representatives, Part Five

The Radical Left Needs to Call into Question Existing Social Institutions at Every Opportunity, Part One
Before I obtained a so-called permanent teaching position (I will explain in a much later post why I use the word "so-called"), I worked for a number of years as a substitute teacher (with short periods of term teaching positions). I became an executive member of the Winnipeg Teachers' Association (WTA) (in the province of … Continue reading The Radical Left Needs to Call into Question Existing Social Institutions at Every Opportunity, Part One
A Worker’s Resistance to the Capitalist Government or State and its Representatives, Part One
The following may not seem appropriate since it is supposed to be a political blog. However, the personal is sometimes political, and the political is sometimes personal.
