here's the facts: https://truthout.org/articles/convoy-movement-isnt-a-struggle-over-freedom-its-an-attempt-to-kill-democracy/
The Freedom Convoy protests is the brainchild of James Bauder, who heads the Canada Unity movement, which launched the protests. Bauder believes in multiple baseless conspiracy theories and “has endorsed the QAnon movement and called Covid-19 ‘the biggest political scam in history.’” Bauder is no friend of organized labor and, as Jacobin has noted, two years ago he participated in another convoy called United We Roll that “planned an anti-union protest where convoy members threatened to dismantle the picket line and run over workers.”
meanwhile in RT grifter clown world:
Freedom Convoy protestors all across the world are being brutalized by the police. Fake “socialist” Hasan Piker says this is exactly what he wants to see happening to the laborers fighting against intolerable working conditions. https://twitter.com/jacksonhinklle/status/1492913847820165120
imagine being more of a class traitor that a Twitch streamer, holy shit these people are worthless

How can they be fascist ie. the finance bourgeoise and their supporters, but simultaniously be petty-bourgeioise whose interests contradict those of the finance bourgeoise. Or are you using the liberal definition of fascism which is basically "stuff i don't like"?
PMC armchair scholars don't actually understand historical materialism, but they've read lots of dictionary definitions and can post incoherent AI generated gibberish on reddit all day lmao
also "fascism is anything you don't like" is literally NPC talking point #2, beyond parody!
Perhaps in words they don't say that, but in actions they certainly are on the right path by damaging the fascist Canadan state, none of the things you listed can happen under the Canadan government.
They are actively harmful to the socialist movement in Canada.
Good, seeing as the "socialist" movements in the west are 99% of the time social-fascist movements.
There you have it folks, the Marxist Leninist Reptilianists in European literally think running over striking workers is fighting "social-fascism" lmao
Don’t all the pro-convoy arguments basically boil down in the end to aesthetics? “Smashing the bourgeois state is always socialism?”
That’s basically all your permanently online horseshoe/RT grifter “left” is about … “Fascists are smashy, Antifa are smashy, therefore they are all the same (equally good or equally bad)”REGARDLESS of they even seek to achieve and whom they MATERIALLY represent.
Fundamentally, these are people who do not believe in class struggle — they think they are so special as to transcend class struggle in their perspective, which is why they look down so much on the actual organizers and activists on the ground who dare to take a side in the struggle.
Yes, its all just pure aesthetics and a refusal/inability to divorce things that individual members/sections of the working class do from the working class as a whole and its unified interests.
If members of a class struggle, then that must by definition be class struggle, disregard any deeper analysis of the intents, goals and ultimate effects this struggle would have, it must be supported because otherwise you're not supporting the working class.
So well put. It’s almost like they don’t believe in vanguardism or organizing or anything.
This is what happens when you don't read anything BUT Marx and Lenin. Hell, even Stalin generally has better analysis than this garbage.
Lenin definitely spoke out against this kind of shit too, but patsuccs are majority streamer types or weirdo class reductionists like Maupin who just ignore shit or cherry pick Lenin.
