But our position has deep roots in the NDP/CCF and is more relevant than ever as capitalism destroys the prospect for human survival. In recent days thousands of “capitalism can’t be fixed” leaflets and posters for the Toronto launch of a ten-city national tour have been distributed. Aside from this recent flurry of anti-capitalist rhetoric, it’s remarkable how little discussion in NDP circles there has been of our wealth-concentrating, ecologically destructive economic system. Capitalism is a system of minority and class rule that is based on the private ownership of the means of livelihood. The last three years were the hottest in 100,000 years and CO2 levels are the highest in millions of years.
