But I was told he used to say “I fight Tories”
This became apparent to the most clueless Succdem approximately 3 seconds after he assumed leadership and tilted the party right.
Never been more disappointed in a pollie than in albanese. I’m not an idiot, I know the ALP sucks and will continue to suck, but I thought he’d be an improvement on shorten. How wrong I was.
Comrades stop trying to do entryism into bourgeois parties challenge
Australia needs a legit leftist leading the ALP, because the Australian chuds are becoming indistinguishable from American chuds.
Sorry mate but I don’t think there are any of those left in the ALP after Whitlam crushed the Victorian leftists like this guy:
In Australia, especially in NSW and Victoria, a genuine Labor left existed in the 1960s and early 1970s. They argued for more militant unions, participated in the anti-Vietnam War movement, campaigned for a socialist Labor party and rejected pragmatic electoralism. For example, addressing the Victorian ALP state conference in 1969, outgoing president Bill Brown argued:
“Only conscious organisation of social production in which production and distribution are carried on in a planned way can save the world from destruction. This cannot be achieved by simply winning seats in Parliament and seeking to change capitalism into a morally good society. It can only be realised by a complete break from capitalist institutions, culture and morality.”
