What’s Wrong with Extinction Rebellion?

What’s Wrong with Extinction Rebellion? 04-08-2019 – Extinction Rebellion (XR) formed as an organisation in late 2018, and has since expanded into some 400 chapters around the globe. In April, XR burst onto the scene by blockading parts of London, with some participants in costumes, and topped off by a pink yacht.[1] Calling for urgent action to address the increasingly dire climate warnings, XR has … Continue reading What’s Wrong with Extinction Rebellion?

Xinjiang: The West’s Big Lie

Xinjiang: The West’s Big Lie 24-07-2019 – A lie repeated a thousand times eventually becomes accepted as the truth. Such was the infamous advice of Josef Goebbles, Minister of Propaganda of fascist Germany from 1933 to 1945. The governments of the capitalist West have learned this lesson well, and apply it wherever they can. In recent times, the largest of lies they attempt to impose … Continue reading Xinjiang: The West’s Big Lie

Hong Kong: US Fuels Right-Wing Sedition

Hong Kong: US Fuels Right-Wing Sedition 23-06-2019 – In recent months, Hong Kong has been subjected to demonstrations which ostensibly push for elementary democratic “reforms” which, if attained, will prevent the extradition of those charged with crimes to “mainland” China. The Western corporate media has, true to form, presented these protests as being “pro-democracy”.  Yet little could be further from the truth. In reality, the … Continue reading Hong Kong: US Fuels Right-Wing Sedition

Sudan: US Plots Further Balkanisation

Sudan: US Plots Further Balkanisation 19-06-2019 – Corporate media throughout the world is flush with news of a “democratic uprising” in Sudan. Apparent activists on the ground claim a “revolution” is on the verge of removing a “dictatorship”. Those with keener insight, however, can easily see that there are very sinister forces behind the demonstrations in Sudan, and that the chaos occurring once again across … Continue reading Sudan: US Plots Further Balkanisation

No War on Iran! Lift the Sanctions!

No War On Iran! Lift the Sanctions! 16-06-2019 – In a rehash of the lead up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held a press conference on June 13 where he promptly blamed Iran for two alleged attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Pompeo provided not one shred of evidence, and did not take any … Continue reading No War on Iran! Lift the Sanctions!

Jobs for All Workers and…..Stop Adani!

Jobs for All Workers and….Stop Adani! 02-06-2019 – The proposed Adani mega coal mine in Queensland’s Galilee Basin, beset from the off by a political campaign to prevent it, has now been given a new lease of life. Pumping blood back into the veins of what will arguably be Australia’s greatest environmental crime is none other than the Labor Party. In the immediate aftermath of … Continue reading Jobs for All Workers and…..Stop Adani!

Philippines: Liberals Cry Foul After Crushing Defeat

Philippines: Liberals Cry Foul After Crushing Defeat 25-05-2019 – The May 13 midterm elections in the Philippines delivered an unprecedented victory for the overwhelmingly popular President Rodrigo Duterte and his allies. At the time of writing, it is likely that allies of President Duterte will sweep all 12 Senate seats which were up for election[1], which represents a history making effort. Virtually all mid-term elections … Continue reading Philippines: Liberals Cry Foul After Crushing Defeat

Liberalism at a Dead End: ALP Loses the “Unlosable” Election

Liberalism at a Dead End: ALP Loses the “Unlosable” Election 19-05-2019 – It’s a cliché to put forward the “Don’t mourn, organise” aphorism after a significant defeat for workers. After the victory of the Coalition (Liberal Party, National Party, Liberal National Party in Queensland – collectively the L/NP) in the 2019 Federal Elections, the working class will certainly need to double down on its organising … Continue reading Liberalism at a Dead End: ALP Loses the “Unlosable” Election

Federal Elections 2019: No Options for Working People  –  For a Workers’ Government! 04-05-2019 – The Australian Federal Elections will take place on May 18. As was the case for previous elections, the cast of candidates are largely uninspiring from a working class point of view.
