Canadian Human Rights Tribunal
(Link active July 13, 2003. Archived locally as: CHRT_index)
The purpose of the Canadian Human Rights Act is to protect individuals from
discrimination. It states that all Canadians have the right to equality, equal
opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination. The
Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) applies these principles to cases that are
referred to it by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). The Tribunal is
similar to a court of law, but is less formal and only hears cases relating to
discrimination.
"If you wish to make a formal human rights complaint, you must register it with
the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The CHRC will then determine if your case
should be referred to the Tribunal."

are ... The League for Human Rights B'Nai Brith Canada (Midwest Region)...
Subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. H-6
(CHRA) provides:
"It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of
persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to
cause to be so communicated, repeatedly, in whole or in part by
means of the facilities of a telecommunication undertaking within
the legislative authority of Parliament, any matter that is
likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by
reason of the fact that the person or those persons are
identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination."

human rights in every country which has it as a ruling dictate!

Buchanan & Fascism: A Serious Look
"The Roots of the Culture War
Spanning the breadth of the antidemocratic hard right is the banner of the
Culture War. The idea of the Culture War was promoted by strategist Paul Weyrich
of the Free Congress Foundation. In 1987, Weyrich commissioned a study, Cultural
Conservatism: Toward a New National Agenda, which argued that cultural issues
provided antiliberalism with a more unifying concept than economic conservatism.
Cultural Conservatism: Theory and Practice followed in 1991... The Christian
Coalition could conceivably evolve into a more mainstream conservative political
movement, or--especially if the economy deteriorates--it could build a mass base
for fascism similar to the clerical fascist movements of mid-century Europe.
For decades anti-communism was the glue that bound together the various
tendencies on the right. Ironically, the collapse of communism in Europe allowed
the US political right to shift its primary focus from an extreme and hyperbolic
anti-communism... dominate the right wing of the Republican Party, and included
Patrick Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, Pat Robertson's Christian
Coalition, the Rockford Institute, David Noebel's Summit Ministries, and Paul
Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation and Institute for Cultural Conservatism. Of
more historical importance are the John Birch Society, the Christian
Anti-Communism Crusade..." <END>

Combatting Hatred in Canada
"Hatred is defined in the New Edition: The Concise Oxford Dictionary as: "active
dislike; enmity; rejection and ill will." ... It is difficult to record and
determine the extent of hate-motivated activities because they are not
systematically collected and reported on. Organizations such as the League for
Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada actively seek out this information... Most
acts of right-wing violence were acts committed by individuals unaffiliated or
not claiming membership with a particular group, or by groups not wishing to be
publicly identified by their actions. The bulk of actions for which a culprit
could be found have been executed in recent years by... anti-communist
nationalists..."
Anti-communism is associated with hate.

"In researching the issue of hate-motivated criminal conduct, this study
examined existing criminal law practice in Canada and certain foreign
jurisdictions, relevant case law, legal periodicals relating to the topic,
government publications (e.g., in England, documents published by the Home
Office), proposals for reform in this area by national reform-minded
agencies (e.g., the Law Reform Commission of Australia), publications by
interested private organizations (e.g., the League for Human Rights of B'nai
Brith Canada and the American Anti-Defamation League),... Most acts of
right-wing violence were acts committed by individuals unaffiliated or not
claiming membership with a particular group, ...while the remainder are equally
divided between neo-fascist groups, such as... anti-communist nationalists.."
Seems anti-communism is hateful in some people's eyes and they ignore the truth
communism has murdered, enslaved, and tortured far more people than the Nazis or
anyone else! If Nizkor ET AL condemns Nazis then why are they protective of
communists?

led to a Senate investigation involving anyone that exercised the right to
question the status quo. Many had lost families, and were prevented from working
professionally to tarred and feathered by those that believed the rantings of
senator Joseph McCarthy. It was the result of the Cold War which at that time,
to the Anti-Defamation League, ADL, anyone who was anti-communist was
anti-Semitic. It turned-out that many communist spies that were rooted out were

money, but consider this: If only 4000 people gave $25 each, the
money would be raised in no time. We believe that there must be
4000 people in this country who are willing to lend a hand in
this fight. We hope you are one of those 4000 people. This
struggle is not just Dr. Lethbridge's struggle; it is the
struggle of all those who are opposed to racism, neo-nazism, and
holocaust denial.

THE SPECTRE OF GLOBAL FASCISM
By David Lethbridge, Director, Bethune Institute for Anti-Fascist Studies
1999 WAS A YEAR of struggle in the anti-fascist movement. The Bethune
Institute, carrying out a consistently militant approach, was able to achieve a
number of successes...
But the main threat facing the working class of every nation is the
growing possibility of global state fascism. We must examine this possibility
seriously, neither giving way to hysterical exaggeration, nor refusing to draw
the necessary conclusions from objective political, economic, and historical
analysis.
The driving force toward global fascism is US imperialism. Like an
ever-expanding bloodstain, it is spreading and deepening its influence into
every corner of the world. Intent on global economic domination, it is backed up
by a ruthless and sophisticated military machine...
But to many workers today, the idea of global US fascism is literally
unthinkable. Imperialist control of ideology means that the very mode in which
people think is manipulated. The ideological attack against socialism,
Communism, and working-class power continues unabated. Further, since elections
continue to be held, and the State continues to operate through a multi-party
system, the spectre of global fascism remains largely invisible at very centre
of its production.
In this context, it is worth quoting what Lenin wrote in 1919, as
fascism first began to take hold: "The forms of domination may vary: capital
manifests its power in one way where one form exists, and in another way where
another form exists - but essentially the power is in the hands of capital,
whether there are voting qualifications or some other rights or not - in fact,
the more democratic it is the cruder and more cynical is the rule of capitalism.
One of the most democratic republics in the world is the United States of
America, yet nowhere is the power of capital, the power of a handful of
multimillionaires over the whole of society, so crude and so openly corrupt as
in America" (The State, Collected Works, v. 29)
Yet global US fascism is more an undeniable possibility than an
accomplished reality. Counter-trends are developing. Mass movements opposing
corporate globalization are maturing. The working class and the peasantry,
especially in South America, is rising and showing signs of strength. Organized
labour in North America is reaching toward left positions. Socialist and
Communist parties around the world are holding their own and building their
base. <END>
Is there any doubt David Lethbridge is a communist? David Lethbridge is a
communist B'nai Brith fully endorses!

primarily from the hundreds of fascist groups established throughout the
capitalist world. Of course, that does not mean that they are no threat at all.
These fascist groups will continue to produce and distribute hate
propaganda, hold public meetings, recruit new members, harass, assault, and
murder. They will keep trying to shift the anger of workers away from the
capitalist economic agenda, the true source of their suffering, towards
minorities and immigrants.
And such groups will remain potentially useful to the capitalist state
as a force to divide and terrorise the working class and their mass
organisations. But the main threat facing the working class of every nation
is the growing possibility of global state fascism...
The driving force toward global fascism is US imperialism....

Welcome to the University of Toronto
Communist Club's Page!
We are a group of activists on campus who work and fight for the introduction of
progressive gains when possible. But most of the time we are fighting against
the forces of the right-wing that are trying to drive all of society,
universities included, back to the old, UGLIER days of capitalism. Here in
Ontario we are fighting the drastic and ill-conceived cuts to virtually every
area in which workers have made gains since the 1930s. Our membership is open to
students, staff, and faculty. Our outlook is revolutionary... In the past few
years our club's work has been in various areas including anti-racism... As
Communists, we also look at the long-term project of building a socialist
Canada.
You are Invited to Our Next Event
Knowing the Enemy: New Trends in Canadian Fascism
With David Lethbridge, Director, Salmon Arm Coalition Against Racism
Monday, March 2 7:00 pm

I now ask again- Is there any doubt David Lethbridge is a communist? Is there
any doubt Ken McVay and his "The Nizkor Project" and B'nai Brith have given
David Lethbridge financial/moral support?

same year he joined the Communist Party of Canada and dedicated himself to the
struggle against fascism...
In 1938, Bethune went to China to help Mao-Tse Tung's revolutionary army

some spinsterish British labor leaders, but it is rank dishonesty nevertheless."

...As long as capitalism exists, the threat of fascism will never be eliminated.
Fascism, as a social and political movement, is a form of capitalism that does
away with the pretence of parliamentary democracy, and rules instead by force
and terror.
Today, neo-fascism is again on the rise... Fascist ideas have entered the
social mainstream and are shifting the political consensus ever further to the
right.
In order to help combat and defeat contemporary fascism, the Bethune
Institute is providing an on-going series of documents exposing every facet of
this most anti-democratic form of political expression.
But neo-fascism cannot be eliminated without a radical transformation of
society. Capitalism breeds racism and fascism the way a fly breeds maggots.
The struggle against fascism, and its organized racist core, is at the same
time a revolutionary struggle against capitalism itself.... <END>

That revolution against capitalism is a communist revolution and Norman Bethune
was, in fact, a communist who supported Chairman Mao in his slaughter of
millions of anti-communists.

Lesson Plans on China
Revolutionary China: The Rise Of The Communist Party
class periods: 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Related Lessons: 20. Revolutionary China: The Peasants In The 1990s
Objectives
To inform students about the strategy the Chinese Communist Party used
in carrying out a revolution against the Nationalists and rising to power in
1949.
To give students a sense of both the optimism and the depth and violence
of the struggle waged by Mao Zedong and the Chinese communists during the early
years of the revolution to make a "new China."
Main Ideas
The Chinese revolution of 1949 rested in large part on Mao Zedong's
strategy that emphasized the importance of peasant support. Mao believed that by
sheer force of will, selflessness, and moral conviction much could be
accomplished. He also felt that violence was a necessary part of the
revolution..
Suggested Activities
Assign the Excerpt From Red Star Over China to the class to read before
the lesson.
Read together the background material on Mao during his early life
noting what influenced him as a young man.
Then read his poem on the Long March and his speech on the selflessness
of Norman Bethune, noting two important aspects of Mao's vision of the
revolution: selflessness and determination. Then ask students to suggest how
these two qualities, championed by the Chinese Communist Party, can be found in
the recount of the Long March by Edgar Snow... <END>
Does everyone get the key points from above?
1) [Mao] also felt that violence was a necessary part of the revolution...
2) [R]ead [Mao's] poem on the Long March and his speech on the selflessness of
Norman Bethune
(Norman Bethune is the object of David Lethbridge's devotion and Nizkor/B'nai
Brith have given David Lethbridge moral/financial support.)

(Excerpts)
In Memory of Norman Bethune
by MAO TSE-TUNG December, 1939
Comrade Norman Bethune, a member of the Communist Party of Canada, was around
fifty when he was sent by the Communist Parties of Canada and the United States
to China... He arrived in Yenan in the spring of last year, went to work in the
Wutai Mountains, and to our great sorrow died a martyr at his post. What kind of
spirit is this that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese
people's liberation as his own? It is the spirit of internationalism, the spirit
of communism, from which every Chinese Communist must learn. Leninism teaches
that the world revolution can only succeed if the proletariat of the capitalist
countries supports the struggle for liberation of the colonial and semi-colonial
peoples and if the proletariat of the colonies and semi-colonies supports the
proletariat of the capitalist countries. Comrade Bethune put his Leninist line
into practice. We Chinese Communists must also follow this line in our practice.
We must unite with the proletariat of all the capitalist countries, with the
proletariat of Japan, Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy and all other
capitalist countries, for this is the only way to overthrow imperialism... <END>
Notice that Norman Bethune who is the object of David Lethbridge's devotion
was an adherent of a worldwide communist overthrow of capitalism and remember
Nizkor/B'nai Brith have given David Lethbridge moral/financial support!

Sometimes it just slips out. The carefully engineered facade, prepared
by advertising agencies, media experts, and speechwriters educated at the very
best of schools, cracks wide open. The benign and caring image presented to
the public as the face of contemporary capitalism disappears and is
replaced by the ugly reality within.
So it was with Silvio Berlusconni, Prime Minister of Italy, leader of
the G8, and ally of President George W. Bush in the new "War on Terrorism."
Berlusconni, the ultra-conservative billionaire...
Bush is [] careful, although barely so. The ideology that accompanies
the endless expansion of US capital, and the endless wars of US imperialism, is
the intertwined ideology of white supremacy, of Christian supremacy, and of
anti-communism....

The Marxist-Leninist Theory of Fascism
David Lethbridge
Marxist-Leninists, and the world communist movement as a whole, pay
particular attention to fascism because fascism's greatest danger is to the
working class, their organizations, and their political parties. Any successful
resistance to fascism, in all its forms, requires a theory based firmly in the
experience of the working class struggle.
The classic definition of fascism in power was presented by Georgi
Dimitrov at the 7th Congress of the Communist International in 1935: "Fascism is
the open dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and imperialist
elements of the financial oligarchy."...
As Marxist-Leninists, we recognize that the problem of neo-fascism is
not limited to fascist organizations, but includes fascist tendencies within the
capitalist state itself. Since fascism is a direct product of capitalism in
crisis, fascist tendencies will always exist within the capitalist state...
Domestically, fascist tendencies within the capitalist state range from
the active repression and outright murder of progressive leaders, to political
frame-ups, to the jailing of progressive leaders, to the privatization of the
prison system, to the repression of active dissent, to the criminalization or
decertification of the Communist Party, to an endless stream of acts of police
brutality.
Within this context, it is also important to speak of trends within the
capitalist state that may well bring ultra-reactionary forces into government
that begin to approach the ideology and policy of fascism. In the United States,
the fact that Republican Trent Lott, the Senate Majority leader, as well as a
number of state governors and elected representatives, are members of white
supremacist and neo-Confederate organizations, having themselves ties to
international fascism, is a matter of the gravest concern.
In Canada, the reactionary Reform Party continues to grow and might
conceivably form the next government. Even though they must necessarily downplay
the overt racism that characterized its early phase in order to gain power,
their demagogic positions on First Nations, homosexuality, abortion,
immigration, and secular education, as well as their anti-intellectualism, their
law-and-order policies, and their attempts to whip up support for the death
penalty, require an all-out effort on the part of progressives to defeat them.
The fact that Reform's core support lies within Christian
fundamentalism, is not only an indication of the specific nature of the danger
that they pose, but ought to guide any strategy we might seek to employ in order
to neutralize and destroy the Reform Party as a political force.... <END>
People would be outraged to no end if the same thing was done by a Christian
organization using its tax exempt status to give financial aid to a Nazi. People
would demand the organization's special tax exempt status be revoked
immediately-- which should be done to B'nai Brith for providing exempt donations
to communists and communist fronts. I have provided contact information below
and I STRONGLY suggest complaints be filed today!
