1\ I wonder if @JPHornick @KingsleyKwok know about the pro-#Russia rhetoric coming from the hosts of Toronto #MayDay2022 they're attending tomorrow? Some white boys astroturfed an "indigenous" protest to tie Indigenous issues to #Donetsk/#Luhansk "self determination".
2/ In early April, I asked about Indigenous participation/endorsement. I was told by a member of @may1labour "The poster was designed by an #Indigenous artist." I asked the artist for comment. The response intriguingly disavowed official Indigenous "endorsement" or involvement.

2/ “…so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes,” he wrote to Lincoln in congratulation for the latter’s re-election in 1864, in the midst of the Civil War. Just three years later, in 1867, Marx was able to see his prognosis vindicated…
3/ …In his brilliant “The Working Day” section of Capital, in which he explained how capitalists extract surplus value, Marx wrote, “Out of the death of slavery a new life at once arose. The first fruit of the Civil War was the eight hours’ agitation….
