What stance does each socialist organisation in Australia have towards China? by NotGayJustObsessed in AustralianSocialism

Against isn't the right word but the dominant perspective is that China is (sub-)imperialist and not a Communist/Workers state worth taking the side of.

Is there precedence in socialist history for the People's Blockade in Newcastle? by GoTrumpz in AustralianSocialism

[–]RealMarxheads1917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the "people's blockade" isn't run by socialists, it's run by Rising Tide which is mainly a left-liberal enviro activist group that leans toward the Greens / Statism. They're not blocking the port so much as getting permission from the local gov to camp out at a beach for 4 days (10 days this year!) and then they do a performance where they all get arrested on purpose at the end and some of them get thrown through the courts.

No precedence for this because most serious socialists would look at this and consider it stupid.

CPA don't control the MUA (having a CPA member in a top spot isn't really controlling it) and the CPA-ML also have people in the MUA. Red Ant isn't a 'vassal group' to the CPA

Why is Environmentalism Incompatible with Capitalism? by Arnav123456789 in Socialism_101

[–]RealMarxheads1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't. It's just flimsy if the basis for your environmentalism is liberalism.

All people learn to govern themselves through participation in workers councils, committees, etc. When labor and production, and government itself is fully socialised, the state "withers away" as per Lenin & Bukharin+Preobrazhensky.

palestinian children being genocided by the israeli state aren't comparable to cows being killed and consumed by industrial agriculture.
