The Palestine solidarity encampments were sparked off in the United States. But by now, the movement down south has mostly died out. Here, we republish a report on the lessons of the movement by our sister party the Revolutionary Communists of America. RCA comrades took an active part in the movement from the beginning. Their experience provides indispensable insight for everyone fighting for a free Palestine here at home.
In Canada, the encampment movement has not seen nearly as big of a decline. However, momentum is beginning to slow down. The biggest encampments are decreasing in size, and the violent state repression at the University of Alberta and University of Calgary is a grim warning for other campuses. If the encampments are to succeed, they must work to spread the movement to the rest of the working class. Only in that way can we launch the Canadian Intifada.
