September 26, 2020 - No. 36 - Trudeau Government's Throne Speech - • "Build Back Better" -- Socialism for the Rich

The degree of parasitism of the financial oligarchy shows that the working class is the only social force capable of mobilizing the human factor/social consciousness to harness the tremendous capacity of modern mass production to meet the challenges of the times so that things like the pandemic, the recurring economic crises and the damage the pursuit of private profit has caused to Mother Earth d. [...] The squawking of the premiers and leaders of the cartel parties in the Parliament in response to the Throne Speech can only be understood within the context of the massive power grab the narrow private interests are undertaking at this time. [...] The outbreak of the pandemic exposed the cupidity and neglect of some of the private residences but also exposed the cruel neglect of governments in public long-term care homes as well, with years of cutbacks and privatization, where the profit motive is given free rein over the well-being of the elderly. [...] It is worth saying that, despite the good offices and auspices of the Office of the High Commissioner and the Venezuelan government, the existence of this parallel commission not ratified by Venezuela arises within the same contradictions of the institutional structure of the United Nations system. [...] It will lead to gestures of non-recognition of the elections by countries and, in this scenario, the perpetuation for another five years of the crisis induced in the country and the superimposed government of Juan Guaidó, that is artificial and non-existent in fact, but an essential component for the continuance of the economic blockade against the country.
