Join the Proletarian Feminist Front Toronto in another instalment of an ongoing event series on issues impacting proletarian women and trans people, taking place on the last Saturday of every month.
In our second session we will talking about the role that anti-oppression practice and non-profit organizations play in helping the Canadian State deceive poor and working people. These liberal politics distort our understanding of our exploitation, and prevent us from successfully fighting for our liberation.
Starting in the universities and seeping into non-profits and state-funded services, marginalized people are being taught that we should fight for 'inclusion' in an inherently exploitative system. But proletarian feminists know that there can be no liberation for people of any oppression without the simultaneous abolishment of capitalism, imperialism and settler colonialism!
This timely conversation has been informed by a recent experience of the PFFT being denied access to a community centre in downtown Toronto for our anti-capitalist politics, despite the centres policy of "anti-oppression.
