>>2541374>>2541379>>2542338All this shows is that you don't know what's happening here. No, we haven't done anything as impactful as send missiles, of course not. We're one of America's most tightly controlled comprador states - but unlike most other US puppets, we're arguably the only one where our status as a comprador is a publicly known fact. Even now, Laborite shitlibs try to justify Albo bending over to the US on the justification of "they're trying not to get Whitlam'd again". But you have to be clinically retarded to scoff at a country that normally has fuck all grassroots political movements, let alone progressive ones, being able to mobilise normie boomers to chant "death to the IDF" while marching in the rain
in direct defiance of threats from the police, state, and federal government, that were only struck down at the eleventh hour by the Supreme Court - because the Westminster System means having an independent judiciary that does something cool every now and then.
Yes, the most we've done is pressure the government to recognise israel and send people to the sumud flotilla, and that was only after two years of weekly protests that manage to regularly pull a couple thousand each time. It's not much- but it's something, and Mossad thinks we're threatening enough they tried to stir up a false-flag "antisemitic terrorist attack" and got ASIO to pretend they came to the conclusion that Iran was behind swastikas being spray painted on a synagogue all by themselves. Unfortunately for them, Zionists have no far-right allies here, because the far-right space is dominated by Neo-Nazis. The only thing keeping the Zionist lifeline to Australia intact is America's strangehold on our government.
Yes, this place is a settler colony. There's no getting around that. But the fuck am I supposed to do? Move to China? Wait for the Dongfeng missiles? I'm not gonna throw my hands up and say it's hopeless, the colony has won, there is no progressive proletariat here, we're doomed to be a reactionary backwater shithole until the PLA enlightens us.
The Aboriginals never stopped fighting. They've never given up. Why should I?
One way or another I gotta figure out how to work with what I have here and try find some type of revolutionary synthesis. The anti-colonial movements and tactics of other countries won't work here since this place has an overwhelming majority of non-indigenous compared to indigenous. But, colonialism is still one of the primary contradictions here. So, we gotta adapt. I think the best way to do that would be to piggyback off the legacy of the Eureka Rebellion and extrapolate the aims and motives of that movement into a 21st-century revolutionary synthesis. And, while settler reactionary ideas and sentiment are common here, we're a far cry from Israel or even the US, where the overwhelming common public sentiment - while not nearly as radical as landback - is not nearly as reactionary or chauvinistic as them. Most people - even white australians - are in favour of reparations of some kind. No, most do not understand concepts like landback or what indigenous justice would entail -
but the very fact that people are split on the issue instead of being overwhelmingly against - well, it's not ideal, but it's sure as fuck something to work with.
And if we are that fucked, well, to hell with it, I'm gonna give it my all to trying anyway. If I have to drag this godforsaken hellhole toward Marxist-Leninist enlightenment kicking and screaming, I will. I refuse to accept that we're doomed, that 80,000 years of history leads up to this shit.
The Aboriginals don't.
