saw some friendly looking postering the other day:

their website: https://communistworkers.wordpress.com/

it reminded me off this !canada@hexbear.net post by @mechwarrior2@hexbear.net about these people.

i am not this kind of nerd, or the adjoining kind of nerd. but i like seeing some nerds in my neighbourhood. are they cool in a demented way, or something spooky?

my eyes glaze over when reading about these intrigues. are they the same group, the opposite group, or just another group of weird communists in toronto?


my first thought is: cool on them to put up posters. virtually nobody will bother to go to the website to find out how strange they are. it’s chill to have stuff like that up in the neighbourhood so I appreciate that. to 99% of people it’s just a pro-woman poster with no evident anti-trans dogwhistling.


what to make of the rest of the website?

the very simplest part of it is:

We envision a mass front that welds the working class into a revolutionary force, mainly at the point of production and secondarily among the unemployed. We will make this a reality through creative application of the ideology of the working class: Marxism-Leninism-Maoism–Gonzalo Thought, principally Gonzalo Thought.

    Oh and this was around the corner:

    They appear to have ?forgotten? To include a URL which is mentioned twice in the poster.

    There is just the protonmail address. Which makes me think it is the same people.

      Of course. But there are the ones I see walking home from work and they are intriguing for that.

    They’re the remnants of the PCR-RCP split and RSM dissolution that follow the Gonzaloist line of maoism. Mostly harmless as far as I know and they’re only really active in Toronto and Vancouver.
