Here we gooooooo!! September 17 at @themintvictoria Sign Up Opens at 6:30 before the event . Or online via the Google Forms Page. See ticket link in bio. Doors: 6pm, Event: 7pm - 10pm Tix: 0-$40 Co hosts: @azuleho__ and @wesconfab All proceeds go to @workersolidaritybc, a worker and labor activist group who organizes to: distribute accessible know-your-rights education, close the gap in effective labour rights enforcement, support and empower individuals with complaints, and to campaign for long term improvements. @commiebop is now offered through @southislandworkers ! Check out our Choir, Outdoor Club, Worker's Cafe, Book Club, and Soccer Team. Artwork is by Spencer Lachmanec. About: A Commie Bop is freedom in motion: a song, a poem, a spell, a skit, a dance against the grind of colonial capitalism. It’s where creativity smashes exploitation, where solidarity squeezes alienation, and where we (yes, we, the ridiculous and unruly) celebrate our collective fire. This is a space to howl anti-capitalist anthems, share art that bites back, and honor past and future generations. Leftist debates? Vital. But tonight we revel in the kaleidoscope of our movement, checking our purity test kits at the door with our hearts open to each other’s stories. We have license to be silly little peasants! Think Carnival, mocking lords and kings… Open Mic Sets: Your offering does NOT need to involve a complex analysis - our day-to-day experiences put us into the crosshairs of capitalism’s contradictions. Sets should be 10 minutes or less. Please explain why you chose or wrote what you’re sharing. Performers are encouraged to make space for audience participation - teach us your chorus, wrangle us into your skit, add call and response, or bring up Alice to play the tambourine or the triangle. All acts should, in their own unique way, call for an end to exploitation and discrimination. This space celebrates dignity. Check lyrics for oppressive and triggering language (racist, sexist, ableist, SWERFS, TERFS, etc.). We fight systems, not each other. Please respect the venue.

Without their fight, we wouldn’t have the eight-hour workday, weekends, maternity and parental leave, health and safety laws, or employment standards and more.. They continue to fight for dignified work for all of us—especially when this government prioritizes billionaires and corporations over essential public services, over affordability for everyday Canadians, over OUR FUTURE!

The alienation and isolation of workers is a key function of capitalism. But, the South Island Workers’ Cultural and Education League are working to combat this. As Brett Nelson writes, the League is building a solidarity beyond the workplace, one that centers culture, community care and education. 🔗 Read the complete article and subscribe to our monthly newsletter.
