On Nov. 22, the NATO Parliamentary summit opened in Montreal.

We have been inundated with speeches from politicians and articles in the bourgeois press on how NATO is a force for peace in the world, a pillar of democracy against the tyranny of Russia and China. But how does this compare to NATO’s real history, and to the role that it plays today on the world stage? Especially now, as tens of thousands of students take to the streets to protests the complicity of western imperialism in Israel’s ongoing slaughter in the Middle East, these questions are of vital importance for the movement.

To answer these questions and more, we’re joined this week by Benoït Tanguay, editor of Communist Revolution and Révolution Communiste, for a discussion on why communists oppose NATO.
