For Decades the Left Talked About A Workers Revolt Against Authority, So Facebook Censors Them When It Happens

[Weatherman2020]

Glenn Reynolds: "So we’re finally seeing a genuine, bottom-up, working-class revolution. In Canada, and increasingly in the United States, truckers and others are refusing to follow government orders, telling the powerful that, in a popular lefty formulation, if there’s no justice, there’s no peace."

"Naturally, the left hates it."

"For more than a century, lefties have talked about such a revolt. But if you really paid attention, the actual role of the working class in their working-class revolution was not to call the shots — it was to do what it was told by the “intellectual vanguard” of the left."

"A working-class revolution *led* by the working class is the left’s worst nightmare because the working class doesn’t want what the left wants. The working class wants jobs, a stable economy, safe streets, low inflation, schools that teach things and a conservative, non-adventurous foreign policy that won’t get a lot of working-class people killed. It’s not excited about gender fluidity, critical race theory, “modern monetary theory,” foreign adventures and defunding police."

"Worse yet, a huge part of the lefty self-image revolves around feeling superior to the working class and openly expressing disdain for it. One need spend only a few minutes tuning into left media like NPR, CNN or MSNBC to hear the disdain for working-class Americans, inhabitants of “flyover country,” people who live in the middle of nowhere."

"So naturally, the idea that those people might be staging a revolution is intolerable."

Its always about power for the 1% with the Left. Look at every Commie and Socialist nation throughout history. 99% live in squalor while the 1% live like royalty.

Facebook twitter google are all government entities...just like the Soviet Union had Pravda...we have big tech and the MSM dishing out the government line....

Funny how violent BLM and ANTIFA groups or members were not censored. But peaceful blue collar workers?
MUST BE CENSORED!

I think you err in thinking it's the 'people's' revolt. IMO it's it's misguided and is only the people being misdirected by the right, that is completely opposed to the people gaining any real power.

It's being promoted and led in Canada by the Conservative right and extreme right.
And the same in America.

But good for you for stumbling on the real guts of the issue for so many people!

The political 'left' in America has been fractured and made impotent by the political right under the Trump regime. The policial right in Canada is attempting the same thing.

The talking point for the right in Canada is 'an olive branch', for your information.
Americans may want to start phrasing it the same way, as it pertains to punishment for the insurrectionists.

Lol, a workers revolt? Hilarious. By people who do not want to enforce anti monopoly laws, wanna give big tax break s to corps and the rich, and want to union bust every chance they get. Ya a workers revolt. That's what it is all right.

It’s the largest revolt protest by WORKING citizens in Western history in this hemisphere.
And you simply call them dumb and misguided.

Thanks for validating the OP.

Is there evidence that the Trucker revolt in Canada is being directed by Canadian Conservative leaders? Everything I've read is that it is a true grass roots movement organized through Social Media. That's why Facebook shut down the accounts of some of the organizers.

Yes, it's being supported by Conservative party leaders. They're promoting the idea of an 'olive branch' because Trudeau refuses to talk to them.
I think that Trudeau considers that their issue hasn't been defined.

That could be an additional secondary factor but the people of Canada aren't supportive of the truckers.

'Misdirected' is a better word.

And I still ask, what is the truckers issue? Their issue they went to Ottawa with was defused befor they got there. The US had defused it.

There are various factions that are trying to promote their issue to the forefront. Does anybody know what those issues are?

How about poverty as a catch-all? This is the most likely cause in America and it can carry over to Canada too because it doesn't take more than a few hundred to make their cause look large. And there's no denying that the insurrection was driven by the anti-establishment in America.

I still think that it's moved by the Covid pandemic that has the people in denial. And that's why I say that they have to appeal to Mr. Covid.

All lefty revolutions have only used the working class, most are led by at minimum middle class and usually upper middle class/lower upper class "vanguards." They are usually the ones with the education and means to be revolutionaries. The workers usually just come along for the ride, then are left behind once the vanguard becomes the new elite.

Does the political right ever lead revolutions?

In Cuba the government was extreme rightist and the revolution was leftist, as defined by communism.
Even though it wasn't defined as communism as it was happening.

 

[MarathonMike]

Are you saying a majority of the Canadian people aren't supporting the truckers? Again, what is the evidence for that? Everything I've read is that it is a grass roots movement from everyday people who have had enough of Canadian Government draconian measures.

The American Revolution was a revolution led by elites against other elites.

If any, that one could be called more right than left.

Absolutely.

Many on the right want to call FB and Zuckerfuck leftist. This is wrong. Big Tech is not leftist they are authoritarian, corporatist, and statist. Essentially they have become Facsists.

I would see it as the more leftist side taking a socially responsible position that was opposed to slavery.

The American Revolution didn't involve a fight over slavery, both the colonies and the Brits still practiced it at the time.

 

[Donald H]

Are you saying a majority of the Canadian people aren't supporting the truckers?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The evidence is in the fact that the majority are supporting Trudeau, and also the fact that the Conservative party is leaderless and in total disarray. The reason for that disarray is that the party is split due to O'Toole agenda of moderation and then Bernier picking up the extremist faction.
Trudeau is holding to a hardline against the protests, as I've said.

Again, what is the evidence for that? Everything I've read is that it is a grass roots movement from everyday people who have had enough of Canadian Government draconian measures.

You're just repeated yourself and that doesn't require the same reply. If you have further questions on Canadian politics, just ask for my version. Or ask somebody else for theirs.

I'm aware of that argument and I reject it. In any case, the fact remains that the south wouldn't let go and hence continues to build monuments to honour the cause of slavery and racism.

Look for the glaring examples of racism that is being promoted on this forum and then consider the allegiance to the Trump side of politics.

There certainly has been a few!

I did find polling results that support your statement that Canadians in general do not support the trucker revolt. I have not found anything that suggests the trucker revolt is anything other than a grass roots rebellion.

You all should be supportive, everything you own was once on a truck
