Good news is, their Labor Party aren’t like the Democrats and actually care about people.

Are you sure you’ve been living in Australia mate?

To be clear, this isn’t a coronavirus thing. South Australia never had a significant outbreak. This is just austerity.

I got banned from /r/Australia a long time ago and I am better off for it.

Only the most indoctrinated and psychotic people become special forces. Why would you want to otherwise? Everyone knows the only purpose they serve is to murder people and the process to become one is grueling.

As it was told to me, most anarchists were kind of consumed by the Greens in the 90s. Despite the party trying to purge leftists, they never really reclaimed their own identity and have remained sort of hidden in the enviromentalist movement. The last anarchist I talked to wasn’t part of the Greens, but was still just trying to organize Extinction Rebellion protests.

Those aren’t the only anarchists though obviously, but I really couldn’t tell you what the others are doing.

“In this climate of fear it was hard for governments to ask ‘how much is a life worth?’”

Truly psychotic.

For those pushing Greens instead, please learn something from the Australian Greens. They started as an environmental coalition that explicitly included socialists and anarchists. They were less liberal than the American Green Party. Over the years they ate up space, acting as a barrier against socialism by diverting people who would otherwise be radicals. Then when leftists in the party started to grow, the liberals moved to purge them.

All in all, the Greens have been a detriment to the left. Just a way of funneling would be leftists back in to liberalism with a thin veneer of environmentalism. This is true of other Green parties too.

The recent case of UK Labour’s entrenched liberals sabotaging the party to stop Corbyn has lessons for you here too.

What those pushing the Greens are suggesting is to give more power to an institution that, despite running a socialist this election, is controlled by liberals and gambling that they’ll be able to overcome them eventually in an internal struggle. With no real plan on how to oust those liberals and despite many examples of how this can backfire disastrously. All for a party that has fuck all power of it’s own anyway, so the reward is extremely low even if you succeed.

Aussie Anarchist

So for context, Anarchism is practically dead in Australia. Even at it’s lowest point in the USA it was more alive than at any point here in the last 20 years. The people posting stuff like this are entirely online.
