What is happening in Palestine is genocide

Socialists need to orient to those fighting against imperialism today – the Arab masses and their Western supporters – not to those supporting imperialism.

Bolivia climate conference: The poor take charge of battle for the planet

The Cochabamba Accord is an astonishing document. It calls for radical cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, no market solutions, and an end to capitalism.

Capitalism is not sustainable

Capitalism as a system of unpaid costs will lead to barbarism in the form of ecological collapse, unless there’s a movement for a different kind of system.

From Goldman Sachs to the Melbourne Storm, the game remains the same

It’s not a few bad apples. The whole system is rotten. The Melbourne Storm is a mirror into the soul of capitalism.

If it wasn’t socialist, what was the USSR?

The collapse of the Soviet Union was neither a step forward, nor backward, but sideways – from state capitalism to market capitalism.

Tony Babino the Internationale

A great rendition of the Internationale.  Clearly the video maker thinks very highly of Che and other stalinists. The Internationale by Tony Babino is sung at the end of Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A love story. The song, not the video, is at the end of the film. Moore doesn’t have illusions in Stalinism.

The myth of Anzac Day

The first Anzac Day was an attempt to divert anger away from the capitalist class to those who were “disloyal”. It was also an important part of the pro-conscription propaganda.

Single mothers protest against poverty

Single mothers are now in a desperate financial situation. They have been left with no choice but to take to the streets and protest against this Labor government’s policies during an election year.
