The posting of the gutter press article is extremely misguided to say the
least
I am not particularly aware of Hills politics other than she is a Democrat
but given the tsunami of press interest in recent days it would be fairly
likely that if she had ever said anything  close to overt white supremacism
this would have been trumpeted about.

In the last week there has been a strong reaction in Australia to recently
surfaced tapes of a Trevor Noah performance which had vile  racist and
sexist slurs against Aboriginal women. While he now claims to know better
it is incomprehensible how  just a few years ago he was so ready to pander
to and propagate the most vile slurs.

Similarly the Irish Times review  below brought to my attention elements of
racist and even Confederate sympathies on the part of Oscar Wilde that are
disappointing considering his own suffering of  national and sexual
discrimination and persecution.

[Marxism] The continuing slaughter of the Palestinian people.

The reports of the horrendous slaughter of Palestinians as the US embassy
was established in Jerusalem is sickening but entirely predictable. The US
has never been a neutral in this fight but It appears as a particularly
bloodthirsty backer of Zionism under the Trump leadership.

Any remnant of the two state solution is now torn to shreds. I have
supported the Palestinian struggle for just on 50 years. These days my
physical capacities are lessened by age and illness but I am more convinced
than ever that this is a struggle that will win.

But now more than ever it needs the support of us who live outside the
immediate area of struggle. Participate and at the least financially
support Palestinian solidarity groups rally, demonstrate lobby on the issue
of Palestinian rights. Support particularly the BDS campaign.

What I am now going to say will probably strike US readers of this site as
a little strange but a major site of this campaign over the next year
should be around Eurovision. This was won last weekend by an Israeli
singer. As I understand it this will mean that next year's contest will be
held in Israel. This normalisation of the zionist occupation of Palestine
under the ever growing openly murderous actions of that regime is abhorrent.

I think that there great difficulties to say the least with the Palestinian
leadership but that is a matter for the Palestinian people we of the left
have a huge obligation to do everything we can to help protect them against
the Zionist settler regime and its supporters in our countries.

The real face of Zionism is bared at the prison fence that is used against
the Palestinians of the Gaza strip.

The latest report I have seen says that 17  have been killed and thousands
injured by tank, drone and gunfire from "democratic Zionists".

This is just the start of a 6 week campaign leading up to the re-siting of
the US embassy to Jerusalem in May under the orders of the monster Trump.
It is hard to know how much Palestinian blood will be spilt in the
celebration carried on by the "democratic Zionists."

I support the BDS campaign as a solidarity with the Palestinian people in
their inspirational struggle against Zionism and for a unified Palestinian
state from the river to the sea.

I have not previously heard the term zio but on its face I don't
particularly like it I prefer to call things what they are and the enemy is
Zionism and therefore Zionists particularly weasel "democratic" Zionists.

That struggle includes the rejection and repulsion of anti-Semitism as well
as the fraudulent attempt to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Another downfall  of a sexual predator -this time in the liberal media

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/24/arts/leon-wieseltier-magazine-harassment.html

But there have been failures in the Marxist movement on these issues.
The downfall of Healy was sparked by the revelation of his long term
predatory conduct which had been  covered up by the leadership in the
WRP/ICFI.

The Socialist Worker group in the UK was convulsed by allegations against a
leading member. These were not properly resolved and many split with the
group.
I think that there has been a failure in the past that has ongoing
consequences  in dealing with the treatment of women and LGBTQI in our
movement

The continued drive to discredit Darwin and his central contribution to our
understanding of evolution and its driving forces strikes me as analogous
to the attacks of Steadman et al on Marx. These attempts to shade our
understanding in the interrelated fields of science and political economy
go along with the increasing dominance of the reactionary undergrowth in
what is taken to be normal politics. Although I am sure that Wilson
expresses himself much more eloquently than Trump.

I used to work as a lawyer for Legal Aid in Sydney  some years ago now. I
remember advising colleagues not to put anything in an email that they did
not want to put before them in court someday-this was pre-twitter,
That would have been silly from a legal point of view, Some of the twitter

strike me as extremely infantile leftism- a wordy version of black

The filthy gloating of this Zionist rag shows exactly why Radiohead playing
Israel is a big deal. It is a cultural normalization of the ethnic
cleansing of Palestine and the illegal occupation of the country by
Zionists.
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Culture/Radiohead-overcomes-BDS-pressure-f
  or-triumphant-night-in-Tel-Aviv-500210

The boycott of South Africa -particularly the cultural and sporting aspects
had great effect in building the anti-apartheid campaign world wide. In
Australia the campaign against tours by the Springboks rugby union team and
the SA cricket teams eventually lead to their being banned from world
competition and provided great moral support to the struggle in South
Africa and a real blow to  the sports-mad supporters of the regime.

BDS is now a major way in which we can support the Palestinians fight for
their national rights.

This is a succinct view of the anti-Orwell position on the Civil War and
the suppression of the revolutionary forces. Although I am far less

he was on the side of the angels.

I haven't seen much said about this aspect of Trump's speech to Congress
Greenwald cuts Van Jones an enormous amount of slack talking about him
speaking from the heart.
Its one thing to have heart but there needs to be some connection to brain

To swallow whole Trump's cynical and shlocky con  game as Jones did is

I start from a presumption that  WSWS stuff will be wrongheaded but this

This is a very short-sighted dismissal of the struggle against
anti-Semitism that is necessary wherever it raises its vile and reactionary
head. Bollyn doesn't talk about the easter bunny or the Illuminati it is
clear anti-Semitism with a sometime flimsy fig-leaf of anti-Zionism. The
organisations that have denounced the use of their space for the spouting
of his views have done something necessary and central to their work.

Anti-Semitism is never a silly affair and those who have stood against it
are to be congratulated if the Jew School guy has written what AGR says he
has then  he should also be condemned . Unfortunately AGR doesn't give us
any links to that apart from rather airily informing us that he has dealt

The death of Richard Neville at the age of 74 shows the slipping away of a
generation of political/counter-cultural radicals. I had a chat with him at
an anti-APEC conference in Sydney in the dying days of the Howard
government in Australia. His politics-if anything had seemed to sharpen as
he grew older.

In the  Counterpunch article it is suggested that Trotsky would be a
Guardian reader. Now there are some interesting things to be found there. A
recent example is the excellent work down by its Australian offshoot in
bringing to light documenting the regime of terror maintained against
asylum seekers imprisoned by Australia on Nauru. But on the issue
raised-the ongoing fight by the right wing to retake the leadership of the
Labour Party in Britain the Guardian's coverage is abysmal and toadying to
the anti-Corbyn forces.
Trotsky, I would  think, would read this swill only to demolish it.

Yes I read the article and I thought it as likely that urban Venezuelan
workers were voluntarily keen to go till the soil
as it would be for you and the other leaders of SA in Australia to do so.
The serious point,  Stuart, is that there is a long history in the
socialist movement of we who live in comparative ease being all to ready to
accept that workers in "actually existing socialism" happily undergo all
sorts of crap that we never would and it always been poppycock and
dangerous poppycock at that.

I am imagining Stuart or any of the other heroes of socialist agrarian
labour in the leadership of the
Socialist Alliance being directed to a bit of "organic" farming. Oh the
humanity, oh the blisters it would make the

am sure that Venezuelan urban workers
turn to agriculture with nothing but voluntary enthusiasm.

At this stage the Green and Libertarian votes don't really change the
relationship between Trump and Clinton so far as the polls go. The Greens
in the US are not a socialist or vanguard party. Stein has many drawbacks
as a candidate  but she comes up pretty good against Clinton or Trump. But
that doesn't seem to me to be the point. In the US a move towards breaking
from the utterly poisonous lesser-evilism that shackles workers,
Africa-Americans Latinos etc to the fetid corpse of "progressive" Democrats
would be an actually progressive move.

Surely the point of Clay's story of his father's treacherous dirty tricks
campaign on behalf of Goldwater is that it was a miserable failure. But the
further miserable failure was that Democrats have spent the last 50 years
created a red-herring by trailing the increasingly tattered coat-tails of
the legislative victories for civil and voting rights from the mid sixties
and have consistently won support on the grounds of lesser evilism to carry
out their actual reactionary policies

I'll give Gary MacLennan  a little support in his herculean attempts to
interest the list in what's going on in  British politics -it would be a
fool's errand to attempt to interest the largely  UScentric  list
membership  in anything so weird as Australian political developments.

Anyway this latest setback to the attempts by the British Labour Party
bigwigs to rig the leadership against Corbyn is an important development as
it makes it more likely that he will be able to rely on support from the
LP's rank and file to win against the rightist putsch.

The LP has now become an actual mass party. From a Marxist viewpoint
neither Corbyn nor the party are avatars of perfection but possibilities
are strongly opened beyond what is offered by the Greens in the US or
Australia. Really I think that taking on board some of these
developments could  actually be of interest and benefit list members
understanding of world events which do actually go on outside the US.

The problem with this call is that it is based on an independent Sanders
campaign or Sanders/Green campaign actually becoming the dominant
anti-Trump force. That seems to me to be highly unlikely to say the least
and the idea that Clinton and the Democrats would abandon the field  is
surely put forward as a merely fanciful rhetorical device.

No the reality must be faced that a supercharged third party Sanders/Green
campaign might well secure a healthy percentage of votes but nowhere near
enough to displace Clinton as the major challenger to Trump. The further
reality is that the more successful such a campaign was the more likely
that it would take enough votes from the Clinton Democrats to leave Trump
the final winner.

This is not-as far as I am concerned- an argument against such a campaign.
But it should be built on an honest  understanding of what it involves.

The possibility of a Trump victory  is being used as a bogey-man argument
to force support to the very-right wing candidacy of Hillary Clinton. But
this is not the 1930's , Trump does not equal fascism, the Democrats are
not Social Democrats and a call for an independent left campaign is not a
breach of a non-existent united front against a non-existent threat of
fascism.

However it would be counter-productive in the short and long run to build a
left third party on a false basis of becoming in this election cycle the
dominant force against Trump. Rather it should be done on the basis of a
decisive break form the falsity of lesser-evilism  and the beginning of a
fight to build an independent political leadership.

While I look at these issues from afar in Australia I would think that a
first step would be advocating a vote for the Greens and to build that as
strongly as possible. Unfortunately Sanders is now out of the picture for
such a project as he has become a shill for Wall St Hillary.

This article gives some background on Owen Smith who has been put forward
to try to defeat Jeremy Corbyn in the British Labour Party. He was a
lobbyist for giant drug companies and made the "mistake" of helping to open
the way for a Tory attack on the National Health . With this creep being
the standard bearer of the right I hope Gary MacLennan is correct in his
confidence in a Corbyn victory

Dave(Ratbag ) Riley posted part of a  a Green Left Weekly article that
gave, he said, a nuanced view of Bernie Sanders campaign.
I learnt some years ago that it always pays to look closely at what Riley
says as there is always an outside chance that  there is something true in
it. I therefore had a look at the whole article to which I have linked.
In my view it is a lot closer to boosterism than nuance

Tariq Ali is over enthusiastic as to the result of a victory for Corbyn in
the leadership election for British Labour but he is
totally right that there is no equivalent within the Australian Labor
Party. But there is room here for fighting back on austerity for fighting
against the barbaric treatment of asylum seekers and many other issues. The
Canberra Coup was directed at disciplining of the ALP and the leadership of
the trade unions to pursue "reasonable" -ie pro-capitalist policies-as was
already their natural default positions.

So various Labor governments have presided over the weakening of the unions
the reduction of real wages ,the transfer of wealth to obscenely bloated
capitalists and CEOs and ever deeper involvement in imperialist adventurism
including most criminally support  of and participation in the invasion and
destruction of Iraq.

The left Laborites have raised little or no opposition to this over a
lengthy period. Certainly what I have seen of Corbyn places him well to the
left of anyone in the ALP. While polls show  the ALP has a commanding lead
over the conservatives of the Abbott government this seems to me to be
based on an aversion to the stinking politics of the government rather than
enthusiasm for the Labor Party.

The Greens who register up to 15% of the vote in polls are seen as more of
a source of fightback than Labor here.

So BLM activists are reprehensible and members of a Clinton/Soros conspiracy
and any way one of the disrupters was a Christian Sarah Palin supporter and
yada, yada blah blah .
The interview has previously been posted but was imbedded where many would

I haven't seen this on the list. Sam Harris is so blinded by the belief in
the innate goodness of Imperialism that he happily publishes this powerful
obliteration of his position by Noam Chomsky

This is an interesting article from an African -American who spent 18

vile libels against the Suruwaha to legalise/normalize the stealing of
children resonates with the stolen generations inflicted on indigenous

At the risk of being seen as a philistine can someone on the list either
explain or point to something which concisely explains what is at stake in
this dispute  i.e. what does ones position vis a vis the thesis mean if
anything for ones political positions on the viability or otherwise of
capitalism , reform or revolution , forms of organization to enhance
political struggle etc, etc

The Melbourne Cup is Australia's pre-eminent horse race (equivalent to
Kentucky Derby in the US) -it's billed as the race that stops a nation and
in Melbourne the day it is held (the 1st Tuesday in November so coinciding
with the US presidential election every 4yrs). But for all the populism
beat up around it  is dispiritingly like any other race-only more so.
The day at Melbourne's Flemington racecourse is dominated by corporate
marquees where celebrities parade for big dollars.
The term well known racing identity is a euphemism for criminal in
Australia
But the so-called legitimate side of racing is fuelled by cruelty, vast
profits and rip-offs through betting lightening the pockets of mug punters
by hundreds of millions of dollars.

I post another obit of Mike Banda not to defend him or the WRP/ICFI but
because whatever one might say about Banda I do not accept that the sole
notice of his death should be in the hands of the British troops in Ireland
supporting , pro-Israel, anti Scottish independence excresence that is the
misnamed Workers Liberty group

I have posted this because I enjoyed Selfs takedown of Orwell's
impoverishing view of language  and it is worth reminding ourselves that
Orwell-whatever his virtues- comes finally to a sort of leftish
little-Englander imperialist position in politics ( yes that is
contradictory but so is life)

This is disappointing as I rate Gaga as a performer . It was interesting to
see the list of musicians who have decided not to play in Israel include
America. If my memory is correct they breached the boycott against South
Africa (possibly by playing Sun City) . On the figures mentioned in the
article Gaga will do well financially in the short term but hopefully there
will be a price to be paid for playing in the state that massacres
Palestinians-an actual big monster in the world.
