Red Flag is the publication of Socialist Alternative.

We're a revolutionary Marxist group based in Australia. We organise activism, public forums, and study groups. Our aim is to help rebuild a revolutionary movement in Australia, to do our bit in the worldwide fight against capitalism.

We put out Red Flag as a print publication every two weeks. It's the most widely read revolutionary publication in Australia. You can support our project by taking out a print or digital subscription.

We have branches all around the country. Find out how to make contact with us and get involved.

The failure of the Swedish model
Chris Giddings
4 May

Sweden kept businesses, bars, restaurants, most schools and sports venues open for more than a year after first registering a coronavirus case in January 2020.

16 September

This October, during a recession and lockdown, Victorians will vote in local council elections–the last before new laws will make it almost impossible to elect minor party candidates.

20 November

In the 1970s, Sweden’s main trade union federation and the social democratic party toyed with a “wage-earner funds plan”, sometimes called the Meidner Plan after one of its architects, the economist Rudolf Meidner. Many view the plan as a tragically untested experiment that could have turned Sweden into a socialist country.
