Poly Crisis with Dedeker Winston

When a corporate landlord’s open contempt for its working-class tenants at a huge apartment complex in Montreal reached a breaking point, tenants decided to fight back with the help of a neighbourhood class struggle organization called Offensive Populaire (OP). The landlord, Norgate Quebec Inc., responded by suing tenants, OP, and individual members of OP like our guest Nick Harvest, enlisting the courts in a naked display of class warfare. The suit attempts to force tenants and organizers to cease their work through injunctions, and demands absurd damages for such crimes as ‘making things toxic’ (talking to one’s neighbours) and ‘defamation’ (talking about what is happening). Jay and Nick discuss OP’s work in organizing neighbourhoods, tenants’ rights as a site of class struggle, lawfare as a major tool of the enemy class, and the major gains won by Norgate tenants despite the continuous hostility on the part of the landlord and chronic disinterest on the part of the city government.

Jay is joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State. We discuss the pivotal role of the ADL not only in running cover for Israeli war crimes and aligning mainstream American Zionism with outright fascism, but also — and maybe more importantly — in the weaving of complex, changing narratives around race, rights, and Jewishness in America and beyond.
