Hi Comrades, The Red Review released two back-to-back episodes on the anti-mandate convoy. The first episode (at 80 minutes) is a deconstruction of the anti-mandate movement — its class nature, its leadership, what fuels it, media culpability, eugenicist base, tacit police support, and who ought to confront it.

The second episode (40 minutes) is more informal and features two comrades speaking about what the anti-mandate convoy looked, sounded, and felt like in Vancouver and Toronto. This episode includes audio recordings from demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, covert recordings of conversation with overwhelmed police officers, and unionists talking about the need for mass labour mobilization.
