Why socialism
Labor has secured a second term, with a landslide victory, but unless unions, social and community movements organise for real change, it will continue to bend to the will of the billionaire class, argue Jacob Andrewartha and Isaac Nellist.
Capitalism has long ceased to provide for the majority, yet its institutions — government, the RBA and the corporate media — continue to try to tell us that there is no alternative. Graham Matthews argues that solidarity is key.
Labor and Coalition governments like to justify their policies as being based on supposed shared democratic values, which they then conflate with “Australian interests”. But the moral postering is coming underdone, as Peter Boyle argues.
Statement by Socialist Alliance outlining our position on the national expansion of Victorian Socialists with a clarification about level of involvement in the project.
United States President Donald Trump has tried to justify his tariff war on the world on the basis that the US has been “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered”. Peter Boyle argues that this is an inversion of reality.
As the climate emergency and extinction crises deepen, there is no choice but to struggle to democratise the economy so that it can be made to serve social needs and ecological sustainability. Peter Boyle reports.
The war on Gaza has become a radicalising force for millions of people around the world. Many are protesting for the first time and questioning the legitimacy of their governments for supporting genocide, argues Jacob Andrewartha.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's argument that long-term government is counterposed to pro-working class policies contains major flaws, argues Alex Bainbridge.
More than three decades after the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, no capitalist country has made any serious effort to decarbonise. Alex Bainbridge argues for system change.
The stakes are high. “Ecosocialism or extinction” is not an empty phrase, Susan Price argues, when discussing capitalism and its rapacious drive for profit and how we win a democratic, ecologically sustainable, safe climate future.
Any call for a republic that is disconnected from addressing the very real social and ecological crises will not be enough.
