ABOUT

Red Flag is a not-for-profit left wing newspaper established by Socialist Alternative in 2013. We do not receive corporate or government funding. We rely instead on our members, supporters and readers to sustain this project by subscribing to our print publication and by donating time and money to the cause. The editorial committee consists of Ben Hillier, Corey Oakley and Steph Price.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

TELLING THE TRUTH

The capitalist press is full of lies, distortions and right wing bias. We need an alternative press, free from corporate interests and government spin, to provide news and analysis of major developments in our world.

SUPPORTING RESISTANCE

Those who own and control the corporate media are hostile to people fighting for their rights. They make money out of the exploitation and oppression of workers and the poor. Red Flag is a paper on the side of the oppressed, telling the story from our side and giving solidarity to those in struggle.

FIGHTING FOR SOCIALISM

Red Flag is about more than just highlighting problems with the system, or supporting individual struggles. It campaigns to win people to socialism, to convince them that the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism is the solution to the problems of society.

INTERVENING IN STRUGGLES

Red Flag’s socialist politics doesn’t just mean general arguments for socialism. Red Flag is an interventionist paper, bringing socialist arguments to the debates of today about how we can best mount a fightback, what tactics and strategies are needed to take on the right. And while Red Flag will fight for the views of Socialist Alternative, the paper is also a forum in which crucial questions on the left can be debated.
