Australia is the perfect example of more voting leading to more fascism
the entirety of the liberal party and most of the labor party frothing at the mouth to get back to the good old days of using the military as strikebreakers? can’t say i’m surprised

Asked if he could follow Labor Ben Chifley’s 1949 precedent of breaking up a coal strike with troops, Morrison replied: “I’m not going to pre-empt any of those sorts of things.”

The more I learn about the history of the Labor party, the more I feel like it’s just one long fucking grift or purposeful opsec.
Literally every one of them.
Out of all the Labour parties worldwide, how did they all end up dogshit?
Workers’ parties? Cool. Socialist parties? Usually ok ish. Communist parties? Dope. Labour parties? Fuck.
Most labor parties had labor union backing at some point in the past. Did the Australian one even have that?
Yeah but he wrote that literally a century ago. Has nothing changed since then?
Life of a Labor politician:
- Go to private school
- Study law at uni
- Join the young Labor club
- Get a job as an ACTU bureaucrat
- Get a seat in parliament
- Lose seat in parliament because you’re so out of touch with the working class
- Go back to working at the ACTU or maybe as a lobbyist
