Now, more than ever, we need a fighting left and a strident movement for Palestinian justice. The commission is an attempt to intimidate the left and to make resistance to war, fascism and racism more difficult.
One Nation must be fought relentlessly. That has to be the lesson the left and the working-class movement takes from the victory of Hanson’s far-right racist party in the Farrer by-election.
Today, in all the major Western powers—the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy—far-right parties are either in government or have become the main opposition. With the stunning rise of One Nation, Australia has now joined their ranks. How should socialists respond?
