Isaac deserved to live in the world he believed in, the world he fought for—the world without classes, without government, without the bosses and cops and bureaucrats and everything else our species is presently saddled with. It is because of people like him that all of this can be more than just a dream. It is because of people like him that it can be a reality.
The Nazis might find confidence in their isolated fight clubs and men’s retreats, but we can find our confidence in the multicultural working class that actually makes this country run.
On Sunday, 31 August, various far-right nationalist groups ranging from conspiracy theorists and “sovereign citizens” to the openly neo-Nazi National Socialist Network (NSN) staged coordinated rallies across Australia under the banner of March for Australia. Rallying around a central demand of ending “mass immigration”, the size of these demonstrations caught […]
An exploration of climate futures for working class militants. Modelling the future of global warming is a deeply difficult exercise. There are two main sources of uncertainty.

Back in December, Woolworths distribution workers took a deal after 17 days of strike which cost the company upwards of $140 million dollars. The strategy of organising undertaken by the United Workers Union (UWU) demonstrates what it means to walk the daggers edge between exercising workers power by fighting bosses […]
The Albanese Labor government has done a deal with the Liberals to pass legislation aimed at destroying the CFMEU. Make no mistake, the government’s CFMEU Act is a plan to kill a union. The strongest argument against this law is this: take a look at what is in it. The […]
