Like a compulsive gambler who keeps losing and has reached the point of betting his house and car, thinking that the next hand will let him recoup his losses, Trump is doubling down.
It reflects the crude, short-sighted, and depraved nature of those who govern us—a group of war criminals, billionaires, and pedophiles. It is the Epstein class’s war.
He wanted to divert attention from the Epstein scandal and secure a quick victory to restore his tarnished reputation
This is incorrect, the Americans want to control key areas in the middle east with natural resources to keep their position within the economies of the world. Trump himself states this quite openly, in different contexts too. See Venezuela.
But like a compulsive gambler who keeps losing and has reached the point of betting his house and car, thinking that the next hand will let him recoup his losses, Trump is doubling down and preparing to escalate the war
This implies that Trump is the entity making decisions. Wholly incorrect as well as it ignores geopolitical advisers with connections to the arms industry and pressure from oil companies.
Already, the crisis in public education funding is giving rise to a student movement the likes of which have rarely been seen in English-speaking Canada. Walkouts have taken place at a number of universities and high schools in Ontario, and there have even been student strikes in Nova Scotia and at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
Not a worker’s movement, those are students who don’t go to school. This doesn’t really tell us anything interesting about the class antagonism.
A similar leadership crisis is also plaguing the labour movement. The struggle of Air Canada flight attendants is emblematic of this crisis. Rather than capitalizing on the immense mobilization and fighting spirit of its members to carry the struggle through to victory, the union leadership called off the strike and deferred the decision to an arbitrator, who imposed a contract that did not meet the members’ demands.
This is the best the article has to offer. A tiny blip within class struggle, not a general strike or any other sort of action that could be deemed disruptive to the functioning of the economy. Honestly, it’s beautiful that there is this specific instance of workers trying to get something at all, but as mentioned this is nothing particularly significant when looking at the last 50 years or so.
The article seems to culminate in what appears to be an ad for the RCP. The RCP posits itself as the alternative to those goddamn malfunctioning unions, as the viable representative of workers when put into relation to all other expressions of worker-self-action
Couldn’t bother to read the first paragraph.
Ok.

This is a much better argument, and I don’t disagree. I think the article is tailored to it’s audience.
