    Stalinism should stay dead

    Stalinism equates socialism/communism with state-controlled industry and a one party dictatorship. We reckon nothing could be further from genuine socialism and Marxism. Unfortuntely, this zombie idea from the 20th century has risen from the dead in the past few years and is gaining popularity among left wing people. In this ep, we debunk neo-Stalinism's main arguments: that the left needs to support "actually existing socialism", that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that Western Marxists and even Western workers can't fight for socialism.    Further reading: "The Marxist alternative to fake communism" by April Holcombe in Red Flag  "The Fraud of Stalinism" by D Taylor in Red Flag

  2. The rich chuck a sook about CGT (+ understanding the middle classes)

    29. Mai

    The rich chuck a sook about CGT (+ understanding the middle classes)

    Since Labor's budget dropped we've heard a chorus of whingers and sooks from the business class (though they call themselves 'founders' and 'entrepreneurs') about having a few of their tax dodges taken away. In this episode we explain why they should stfu, why Labor can barely defend their own measures, and how much further socialists want to go in taxing the rich (and expropriating them).  We also explain the Marxist theory of the middle classes. We thought it'd be pertinent given all this petty bourgeois whining.    Further reading: "Business community has a big sook" by Sarah Garnham in Red Flag  "So much budget bluster" by Tom Bramble in Red Flag

    Police riot in Sydney to defend war criminal Isaac Herzog

    Chloe and Emma talk about the police riot in Sydney orchestrated by Chris Minns. The NSW government sent 3,500 police to bash, stampede and pepperspray a peaceful pro-Palestine demonstration of 20-30,000 people, against the rolling out of the red carpet for a war criminal who should be in the Hague. We talk about what this event reveals about the police, the Australian Labor Party and the Australian ruling classes' commitment to Israel.
