I looked at lots of survey data that indicated what people at different income levels
wanted the government to do, and then I looked at what the government did. For
people at the top 10 per cent, you could predict what the government would do based
on their preferences. But when the preferences of people at lower income levels di-verged from the affluent, they had no impact at all on the policies that were adopted.

Everyone knows that Aboriginal peoples have by and large the worst
shakes of anybody in Canada. Though, from the standpoint of justice yes, even bourgeois justice their case is really open-and-shut. Thewhole continent was theirs and then it wasnt a take-over managedby force, threat of force, and outright fraud. (What is the case on theother side? Right of conquest.) The Constitution and the courtsdo acknowledge, to some extent, Aboriginal peoples unsurrenderedexisting rights though how much substantive recognition ofthose rights can be expected from a Harper-appointed judiciary willhave to be seen as the struggle continues. For Aboriginal peoplestoo, especially the younger ones, are realizing more and more nowthat without struggle they cant expect to get anything. The Idle No
More movement has won support from large sections of Canadians,who may have themselves had to experience (though to a lesserdegree) the brunt of a government of big business, by big businessand for big business.
Aboriginal women have often found themselves doubly out in thecold when it comes to getting justice. Murder is injustice if anythingis. But, up to now, that hasnt bestirred Canadian police forces to

go after their killers with anything like the drive which Ottawadevotes to going after alleged-without-evidence terrorists (withnonwhite skins).
Barbara Moores article in this issue, Sisters in the Spirit, on
violence against Aboriginal women, was actually written for thelast Spark!, but was squeezed out as that issue got filled with pieces
marking the ninetieth anniversary of the Communist Party andpress in Canada. Even so, there were articles on the Communistmovements history in this country that there was no room for inSpark!no. 23, and there will be more historical material in futureissues as well as this.
Here in no. 24 we have some oral history from Michael Ukas, whose
experiences as a Ukrainian-Canadian party member on the prairiesin the late nineteen-thirties, as a soldier liberating southern Italy inWorld War II, and, after the war, as a student and then Universityof Toronto professor of Italian language and literature, can givethe reader some picture of what it was like to be there. The samegoes for Bert Whytes wonderful book Champagne and Meatballs,a personal memoir of working class life and Communist activismfrom the thirties to the sixties, reviewed here by Chevy Phillips.
Those who knew Bert will be very sorry he died before continuinghis recollections any further than that. Bert had known suchfiguresas Leslie Morris, Harry Rankin and (in Moscow) Kim Philby, andhe was never short of good anecdotes about them and their times.
We are especially grateful in this issue to historian Julie Guard
for her account of the Communist-led Housewives ConsumersAssociation, active from the late thirties to the earlyfifties. InSpark!no. 23 we had an article From Pariahs to Patriots, about
how Communist activists were vilified and driven undergroundin the first years of the Second World War, then publicly hailedand applauded in the Forces as well as on the Home Front, whenthe democratic anti-fascist character of the war effort came tothe fore, especially because of public gratitude for Soviet militarysuccesses in Europe. Professor Guards article gives an exampleof the post-War re-stigmatization of the Communists as part ofputting Canada on a Cold War footing. The two turn-arounds
were markedly sudden and unsubtle. Guard refutes the charge thatthe Consumers Housewives Association was simply a tool ofthe Communist Party rather than a genuine peoples movementfighting for working peoples interests; but of course the Partybacked the movement because it saw organizing working-classwomen to fight for the interests of their families as part of itsgeneral class struggle mission. Guard appears to suppose that

EDITORIAL COMMENT
PG 6
the Communists in the Association somehow could not be bothdemocratically leading a peoples struggle and doing so as a Party
assignment, so she feels the need to defend the comrades againstthe charge of taking direction from the Party collective centrally.For instance, aware that the Association was an alliance of womenwho had a variety of ideological viewpoints, she marvels that this
was long after the party abandoned the popular front (citingex-Communist Norman Penner). In fact, though, CanadianCommunists have always sought alliances with others, especiallyfrom below, but most of the time with non-Communist leaders
too, where feasible. So this was no departure.
In the post-War period it took a great effort from world capitalismto save Western Europe and to keep the worlds underdevelopedlands despite their legal independence as far as possible undercontinued imperial sway. That, above all, was what the Cold Warwas for. It was sold to First World workers as part of a social
contract: prosperity and a much expanded welfare state in returnfor firm anticommunism both at home and abroad. But it is a great
exaggeration to think of First World capitalists as having agreed toall this without a fight. The fierce battles in Canada, for example,to build the Steelworkers and Autoworkers unions (struggles inwhich Communists played a proud part before being dumped) isevidence that even that rotten deal cost a lot of blood and tears. Sothe gratefully reprinted contribution by James Petras in this issue,The Western Welfare State: Its Rise and Demise and the SovietBloc, arguably has overstated the case on that; just as Petras has
arguably understated how much democracy there was in the USSRand its allies though the Communist Party of Canada for its parttakes the view that a grave shortfall in democracy there has a lotto do with explaining how the socialist orientation of those stateswas so easily overthrown. And have we really heard the last of theforces for socialism in the People Republic of China?
Petras is surely right, though, to stress how enthusiastically post-Warsocial democracy went for the social contract, and how removal
of the anticapitalist example of Eastern Europe has made theFirst World capitalist class that much less in need of the welfare
part of the welfare-warfare state. But Petras in his article makesno mention of the current economic crisis. The capitalists aredarn sure it isnt they who will bear the burden of it, and theyrewilling to put up with the risk of some social turmoil in forcingit on to the workers backs. So, arguably, if the disappearance ofthe anticapitalist social order in the East has made an all-out drive
against workers gains all the more possible, especially in Western

Europe, that is only part of the story. But the issue is certainlydebatable, and Professor Petras contribution is very welcomeindeed.
In the spring of 1845 the twenty-six- or twenty-seven-year-oldKarl Marx wrote in a notebook he kept, The philosophers have
only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to changeit. Some readers may be surprised to find an article here (by RenSimon) that is prepared to take seriously even if only to rebut
it a criticism of this remark of Marxs coming from the rightistGerman philosopher Martin Heidegger (who was indeed a signed-up Nazi during the Third Reich). But Heidegger is far from beingthe only one to take this remark as placing Marx in support ofmindless activism unguided by a theoretical interpretation of things.Some of the left-inclined academics who are most prone to readMarxs statement in that sense are the furthest people from actualactivism that you could meet.
As for Marx himself, his whole life work certainly speaks of aconcern to interpret the world. But the point of that, for him,was to change it.
Collective Power
We dream that when we work hard, well be able to clothe our children decently, and
still have a little time and money left for ourselves. And we dream that when we do asgood as other people, we get treated the same, and that nobody puts us down becausewe are not like them... Then we ask ourselves, How could we make these things come
true? And so far weve come up with only two possible answers: win the lottery, ororganize. What can I say, except that I have never been lucky with numbers.

the Strategic Policy Liaisons Sisters in SpiritResearch directed by the Native Womens Asso-ciation of Canada. These two women were soli-citing support from trade union women acrossCanada in their quest for social justice and anend to discrimination against Aboriginal women.
The Native Womens Association of Canada wasformed in 1974, shortly before the beginning, in1975, of the United Nations Decade on Women,which began a series of international conferences
and conventions to determine the status of wo-men throughout the globe, and the overall treat-ment of women in their respective nations. Theaim of the NWAC was to achieve equality for all

Explain the world, change the worldby Ren Simon
After Marx died in 1883, it was up to Engels tocarry on his work, not only in the German and
European politics of the day, but in politicaleconomy and other fields. In preparing his 1886Ludwig Feuerbach and the Outcome of ClassicalGerman Philosophy for publication as a pam-phlet, he was looking through an early notebookof Marxs (from 1845), where he found elevenjottings under the heading On Feuerbach. Inpublishing these Theses on Feuerbach with thepamphlet, he described them as notes hurriedlyscribbled down for later elaboration, absolutely
not intended for publication, but invaluable as thefirst document in which is deposited the brilliantgerm of the new world outlook.1 [Thesis 11reads: The philosophers have only interpretedthe world in various ways; the point, however, isto change it.2 The word however was addededitorially by Engels.]
Marxs eleventh thesis on Feuerbach has been thesubject of numerous commentaries. Id like to put
forward an interpretation here by criticizing twofeatures in the commentary by Martin Heideggeron the occasion of an interview in 1969.
Ill begin with this quotation, translated from theGerman:
In quoting and following this statement, itsoverlooked that making a change in the worldpresupposes a change in the conception which is
held about the world, and that its only possibleto get a conception of the world by arriving atan adequate interpretation of it. This means thatMarx based himself on a certain conception ofthe world to do with the changes he demanded,and by that this statement shows that it is not awell-founded statement.

Introduction
One of the most striking socio-economic featuresof the past two decades is the reversal of the pre-vious half-century of welfare legislation in Europeand North America. Unprecedented cuts in socialservices, severance pay, public employment,pensions, health programs, educational stipends,vacation time, and job security are matched byincreases in tuition, regressive taxation, and the
age of retirement as well as increased inequalities,job insecurity and workplace speed-up.
The demise of the welfare state demolishesthe idea put forth by orthodox economists, whoargued that the maturation of capitalism, itsadvanced state, high technology and sophisti-cated services, would be accompanied by greater
welfare and higher income/standard of living.While it is true that services and technology have
multiplied, the economic sector has become evenmore polarized, between low paid retail clerks andsuper rich stock brokers and financiers. The com-puterization of the economy has led to electronicbookkeeping, cost controls and the rapid move-ments of speculative funds in search of maximum
profit while at the same time ushering in brutal

budgetary reductions for social programs.
The Great Reversal appears to be a long-term,large-scale process centered in the dominantcapitalist countries of Western Europe and North
America and in the former Communist statesof Eastern Europe. It behooves us to examine
the systemic causes that transcend the particularidiosyncrasies of each nation.
The Origins of the Great Reversal
There are two lines of inquiry which need tobe elucidated in order to come to terms with
the demise of the welfare state and the massivedecline of living standards. One line of analysisexamines the profound change in the internatio-nal environment: We have moved from a compe-titive bi-polar system, based on a rivalry between
the collectivist welfare states of the Easternbloc and the capitalist states of Europe and North
America to an international system monopolizedby competing capitalist states.
A second line of inquiry directs us to examinethe changes in the internal social relations of thecapitalist states: namely the shift from intense
class struggles to long-term class collaboration,

What year were you born?
1916. In Bonne Madone, Sas-katchewan.
And so you lived on the farm throu-
ghout your early life?
Well, a good part of it, yes. But
there was no future there, so Iwent away. Went to Saskatoonand enrolled at the universitythere. Well, I should have saidthat I had to complete my high-school. I couldnt do that in
Wakaw which is fifteen milesaway from Bonne Madone. They
I had to sign a promissory note.They had me sign -- I promise topay so-and-so but, of course, Icouldnt pay. And having com-
pleted one year of pre-medicine Ihad to stop and try to earn somemoney. But those were very toughtimes.
How old would you have been?
Lets see, I guess about twenty.
So then it would have been around
1936.
The Great Depression was com-
ing on. We couldnt get anythinganywhere. So I had to stop andI got a job at the University ontheir experimental farms - they
were trying to develop new kindsof wheat and things like that. It
was quite skilful work in that youhad to select, as you moved alongin the rows, and be very careful,
you picked the right kind of grain.And they did produce some newvarieties. I got a job on the experi-mental farms. There were only afew of us I think there were onlyfour of us.
So you were lucky.
About twenty or more applied forthat job which wasnt easy. A lotof bending row after rowall day. We were paid 30 centsan hour for that which was
welcome. We worked, let me see,four hours in the morning and
another, I think it wasfive, in theafternoon. They let us off earlier
on Saturday so we could do a littleshopping to buy food or some-thing, Because stores closed atsix oclock. But once that job wasdone there was no further work.
We got paid there all right for that,

BOOKREVIEWS& REFLECTIONS
Champaign and MeatballsReview by Chevy Philips
Champagne and Meatballs:
Adventures of a Canadian
Communist. By Bert Whyte,
Introduction by Larry
Hannant. Edmonton, 2011
The Canadian Committee on
Labour History, an organiza-
tion concerned with the study of
working class life and struggle
in Canada, has presented Cham-
pagne and Meatballs as the first
in a series. It is a book based on
the manuscript-memoir left by
Bert Whyte, long-time member of
the Communist Party of Canada,
after his death in Moscow in 1984.Larry Hannant, who has provided
an introduction to the book, came
into contact with Monica Whyte,
Berts widow, in 2006 and was
introduced to the manuscript. The
series is intended to have a popu-
lar bent ... accessible to labour
audiences rather than simply ...
[for] scholarly studies. Certainly
this is the most distinctive feature
of Bert Whytes story, which covers
his childhood up to his posting to
the Peoples Republic of China in1960, as it follows the adventures
of a Canadian Communist across
Depression-era Canada, in the
Second World War, and in the
post-war years in Toronto and on
the west coast.
Champagne and Meatballs is
grounded in mundane expe-
riences, dealing with everyday life
rather than grand political narra-
tives or metaphysical reflections.Whyte could have chosen to pep-
per his story with expositions of
ideological positions, justifications
for stands taken, or internal Com-
munist Party politics, but there is
very little of that sort to be found
here (which some readers will
no doubt appreciate, and some
will regret). What certainly isvery successfully communicated
is what life was like for someone
born just before the First World
War, who grows up in an era of
profound mass politicization,
and embarks on a broadly left
and eventually Communist
trajectory that is grounded in
and inspired by the condition of
ordinary peoples working lives.
Early influences on Whyte
are clear from detailed and
extensive reflections on his
childhood, adolescence and
early adulthood. Bert joined
the Party in the mid-1930s (by
which time he was in his mid to
late twenties, having been born
in 1909) only after having some
significant experience of the tra-
vails and struggles of working
people in an extraordinary periodof Canadian history. Early on in
Champagne and Meatballs he
briefly discusses his encounter with
the Ku Klux Klan, which he quickly
recognized as a nut organization
in his early teens, and he describes
the context in which he came to
consciously turn against religion
(perhaps, along with his reaction
to the KKK, his first well-defined
political positions in a life which
never lost its political content).The condemnation of a man for
simply teaching the science of
human evolution, combined with
an adolescent encounter with Tho-
mas Paines anti-Christian Age of
Reason are recognized by Whyte as
