what the gently caress does that mean for us?

it means your countrymen will die by the thousands in China's invasion of Taiwan so the US can say "we totally could have beaten the Chinese if it weren't for those perfidious, cowardly Aussies on the front lines"

i love any kind of youtube crap so i could tolerate jordies' weird labour hack politics but the way he talks is so annoying. he does the weird fake accents so much that I don't know what any of them are supposed to convey anymore. I'm not even sure if he knows?

we are getting turned into a defacto member of asian-NATO.

anything that moves us closer to america militarily should be sounding big alarm bells and needs to be pushed back on with max volume

you can read between the lines of the full speech yourself:

https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/minister/rmarles/speeches/address-center-strategic-and-international-studies-csis

I've read it and while there are some new initiatives, there's nothing there that wasn't a reality a year ago (or five).

The new stuff is essentially
* Greater ability for Australia to manufacture precision munitions to sell to the US and other clients (this is new, but not really much)
* Climate change is a problem that needs to be fixed
* Focusing on Australia building partnerships with Pacific nations (which is a good thing).

In essence, there's 3 sources of weapons and military platforms in the world
1. The US and to a lesser extent Europe
2. Russia (which it turns out isn't really good at creating and manufacturing just about anything)
3. China

Which exactly should Australia be turning towards to align ourselves with?

Wages are about to get hosed hard. Corporate profits are sacrosanct though so nothing will be done to curb them. It would be really nice to see press asking why wages and profits are the only thing to go after to stop inflation.

i think we're mostly too spread out for a CSPAM australia one, though melbourne or d&d might have one. if you're interested in socialist poo poo, maybe try hitting up one or all of the political party social events. greens are probably your best bet just due to the fact they actually have seats and are the most popular.

edit: lol i see you've already seen what d&d auspol is like. come join us in the asia/oceania cspam thread.

Greens because that's where the ladies are and we will pull them Left with our proletarian feminism?

Can one be a member of multiple parties so you can be in a ML org as well as the greens?

That d&d thread is embarrassing. Just ad hominems, inability to read/comprehend and zero rebuttal. I think there's an actual white supremacist posting regularly there? Weirdest "d&d" I've seen.

the only socialist organisations with any real rank and file are trotskyist - ala socialist alternative (no relation to the other organisations of the same name).

vic soc is a big tent (dem soc) org founded with the aid of a few trotskyist groups, and they field some members in local councils, but nothing at the state / federal level.

greens are soc dem at best.

anyone know anything about the "australian communist party" / CUDL?

seemingly new org, pro stalin - a couple of different chapters, but doesn't appear to be a large rank & file.

don't think they have any direct connection / lineage to the original australian communist party.

It's the watermelons that keep the Greens worth voting for. Change from within and all that.
