Over the past year there has been a torrent of attempts by the bourgeois media to push the blame for inflation onto the working class.

Outrage at police violence has erupted once again across the United States.

From left to right, from the Liberals to the CAQ, from Quebec solidaire to the Parti quebecois, Lévesque is praised. For Marxists, the centennial of his birth is an opportunity to revisit and critique the ideas and career of the former premier.
