Capitalism is unleashing a barrage of destruction across the globe. Far-right President Donald Trump sits in the White House. Israel’s Western-backed genocide in Gaza has exposed the barbarism of the system. Imperialist tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate and the bloodbath in Ukraine grinds on. Governments are imposing austerity alongside the rise of the far right and a climate crisis worsening by the year.
Anthony Albanese has displayed an absolute commitment to running this sick system. He has continued to arm Israel as it commits genocide, expanded fossil fuels, attacked the CFMEU construction union, vilified migrants and ruled for the rich as the cost of living crisis bites. All this has only served to embolden Peter Dutton in the lead up to the Federal election.
We won’t get the change we need at the ballot box. But struggles around the globe show that resistance is possible. In Gaza the Palestinian resistance remains unbroken and world-wide protests for Palestine have seen millions fight their governments’ complicity. Mass protests and strikes in South Korea stopped a military coup.
