Anna Di Carlo
- National Leader of the Marxist-Leninist
Party of Canada -
Anna Di Carlo is the leader of the
Marxist-Leninist
Party of Canada, elected on August 16, 2008 by the Party's 8th
Congress. Besides the duties required of the national leader
by the Canada Elections Act,
Anna is the official spokesperson of the MLPC and is responsible for
developing the public relations office of the
MLPC, issuing communiques, responding to media inquiries, being
available as a resource person, and carrying out a public educational
program on matters related to the Canada
Elections Act, theories of
governance and related issues.
Anna has been a member of the Marxist-Leninist Party of
Canada since 1978. As a student at the University of Guelph she joined
the Party through its work against the violation of political rights
and against state-organized racist attacks. Since the 1989-1993 period
when the Party established its program of democratic renewal as the
starting point for the renewal of all aspects of Canadian society, Anna
has played an active role in elaborating how the party-dominated system
of representative democracy keeps the people out of power. She has
represented the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada on the Elections
Canada Advisory Committee of Registered Political Parties and prepares
briefs on behalf of the MLPC to the government regarding changes to the
electoral laws. She has consistently opposed the electoral reforms
which have strengthened the power and privilege of the political
parties of the establishment and argued out the position of the MLPC
that the starting point of electoral reform must be to bring about
changes which will guarantee that all members of the polity can
exercise the Charter-recognized right to elect and to be elected. She
is dedicated to eliminating the inequalities that currently exist based
on a person's
status in the society in terms of wealth and access to the levers of
political power.
