CANADA, March 14--Thousands of people in 55 different demonstrations marched today to protest the Harper government’s bill C51. C51 is the “anti terrorism” bill that gives CSIS, the Canadian CIA, the powers of a secret police force.
CSIS (and many other government agencies) will be able to spy on your communications and have access to (e.g.) your health records. CSIS will be able, for example, to break into your home, seize or copy documents, and “install or remove any thing”. Generously, the bill says CSIS can’t kill, injure, or rape you. Apart from that …
CSIS is allowed to use these powers, not just in the case of terrorism, but also in the case of any activity that “undermines the security of Canada”. This includes “unduly influencing” the government by illegal means and “interference with critical infrastructure”.
In fact the law is so broadly worded that in principle it covers most effective forms of dissent. For example, it would lump in with terrorism workers at a power plant going on strike, blocking scabs, or fighting the cops. It includes advocating for these activities as well. So if you tweet your friends urging them to join the picket line, CSIS could be after you.
The bosses tell us that their laws protect “civil rights” and “privacy” but in practice they will do what they have to remain in power.
Under communism would we have to fight terrorism? Without a doubt. For a start, there will be a lot of formerly privileged people who want to restore capitalism, and some will be desperate to do so. They will fail to get mass support and will resort to terrorism.
Communism, however, will give us important advantages in fighting these terrorists.
Everyone will live, work, eat, study, etc., as part of various collectives. While everyone is entitled to some privacy, your comrades will keep a caring eye on you and look out for your well being and that of the collective. If someone starts acting oddly, either because they are up to no good, or (more likely) because they are not doing well, it will be noticed and investigated.
With the masses on guard against terrorism and other efforts to bring back capitalism, we won’t need an army of spies tracking your every move and entitled to do everything but rape you
