Not sure if people have noticed, but facebook has totally banned <https://redflag.org.au/node/7541> Australian users from posting links to news sources both from within the country and from the world. And as far as I'm aware, non-Australian users can no longer see any posts by Australian news pages (the ban also applies to the page of the annual Marxism conference <https://marxismconference.org/>, the journal Marxist Left Review <https://marxistleftreview.org/>, pages of various government ministries of health, and so on).
As the editor of the Marxist Left Review, this spectacular overreach by the social media giant has been a bit of a wakeup call regarding how dependent we are on an unaccountable corporate behemoth for promotion of our material. For those who have the interest and capacity to support one of the few remaining socialist journals in english, I would ask you to subscribe <https://subscribe.redflag.org.au/> if at all possible. Our latest edition contains original work on the Paris Commune, the politics of the pandemic, debates about understanding Indigenous oppression and colonialism, an essay on crisis theory by Marxist economist Rick Kuhn and more. We can ship anywhere in the world, so that's not an issue. Link here <https://subscribe.redflag.org.au/> for those who are interested.
