MINNEAPOLIS UPRISING: Report from American Communists | MONTREAL MARXIST WINTER SCHOOL 2026

The Minneapolis general strike marked a turning point in the American class struggle. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people have begun realizing that they cannot trust the cops, politicians or any arm of the state, and are taking matters into their own hands. This is extremely significant. The only force capable of bringing down American capitalism and imperialism — the American working class itself — has begun to move. What does this mean for communists? What is our role in this process, and how can the movement actually win? Tom Trottier, from Revolutionary Communists of America, presented on this topic at this year's Montreal Marxist Winter School. Afterwards, comrades in Minneapolis report on their activity on the ground during this historic moment. This presentation was recorded on February 13, 2026.
