Socialist Action | Looking back at 2022, and Going Forward in Struggle

Socialist Action is a growing revolutionary workers’ party that puts a great emphasis on political education. At the same time, SA is an activist organization. It has many practical accomplishments to its credit, including achievements in local elections, in building a fighting left wing inside mass working class organizations, and in promoting international solidarity. From Iran to Haiti, from Britain to Ontario, 2022 has been a year of revolt against austerity, authoritarianism, and repression.

In the face of the big push for war from Canada's rulers, we renew the call for mass mobilization against the imperialist powers.  No war but the class war!  

While the NDP continues to avoid challenging the burgeoning military budget, which will surely grow in the confidence and-supply deal struck between the federal Liberals and the NDP, the task of opposing military conflict and escalation falls to the militant grassroots in both the workers' movement and other struggles for liberation.  

In March in Toronto, multiple rallies focused on our own ruling class as perpetrators of great violence and destruction.
