Marxism Today. for Australian Independence. for Australian MARXISM TODAY FOR AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENCE FOR AUSTRALIAN SOCIALISM 2 This booklet is a tribute to the memory of our late comrade Dulcie Steffanou, who promoted the study of Marxism and its application to the Australian revolutionary struggle. The articles selected were originally published in the Marxism Today section of the newspaper Vanguard in the period between 1990 and 2007. They represent the political position of the CPA (M-L) on key issues confronting the Australian working class in the revolutionary struggle to win national independence and socialism. We acknowledge all the writers and other comrades who have contributed to Marxism Today over many years. We believe these articles will be timely and useful for all those seeking to come to grips with the theoretical and practical questions of building a revolutionary people’s movement for fundamental change.

In this short article, Lenin summarised re-affirm the validity of the Marxist theory of the main elements of Marxism and explained change in the material world, but Marx and their historical origins Engels went further. They applied their theory to changes in human history. “Deepening and developing philosophical materialism, Philosophy, Political Economy and Socialism Marx completed it, extended its knowledge of Lenin’s writes in the introduction, “…the nature to the knowledge of human society. genius of Marx consists precisely in the fact Marx’s historical materialism was the greatest that he furnished answers to questions the achievement of scientific thought.” foremost minds of humanity has already raised.

  • The Workingman's Paradise": Pioneering Socialist Realism
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online William Lane's "The Workingman's Paradise": Pioneering Socialist Realism Michael Wilding For their part in the 1891 Australian shearers' strike, some 80 to 100 unionists were convicted in Queensland with sentences ranging from three months for 'intimidation' to three years for 'conspiracy'. It was to aid the families of the gaoled unionists that William Lane wrote The Workingman's Paradise (1892). 'The first part is laid during the summer of 1888-9 and covers two days; the second at the commencement of the Queensland bush excitement in 1891, covering a somewhat shorter time.' (iii) The materials of the shearers' strike and the maritime strike that preceded it in 1890 are not, then, the explicit materials of Lane's novel. But these political confrontations are the off-stage reference of the novel's main characters. They are a major unwritten, but present, component of the novel. The second chapter of part II alludes both to the defeat of the maritime strike and the beginnings ofthe shearers' strike, forthcoming in the novel's time, already defeated in the reader's time. Those voices preaching moderation in the maritime strike, are introduced into the discussion only to be discounted. The unionists who went round 'talking law and order to the chaps on strike and rounding on every man who even boo'd as though he were a blackleg' have realised the way they were co-opted and used by the 'authorities'. 'The man who told me vowed it would be a long time before he'd do policeman's work again.

  • The Utopian Diaspora: Australians in Paraguay Andrew Harvey
    The Utopian Diaspora: Australians in Paraguay Andrew Harvey Abstract This chapter argues that the experiment of the Australians’ diaspora in Paraguay forms an important but neglected chapter in Australian history. Only two books, an occasional play, and no significant films have represented the ‘New Australia’ experiment, a paucity of coverage which is the result of both a deliberate forgetting and an underinvestment in national cultural institutions. The contrast with the Welsh government’s continuing support of Welsh settlements in Patagonia is striking, and the chapter examines the reasons behind these contrasting approaches and the cultural significance of Paraguayan collective amnesia. Key Words: Nationalism, identity, Australia, Paraguay, utopia, diaspora. ***** Class war was manifest in Australia in the 1890s. The shearers’ strikes had divided the nation: pastoralists wanted the ability to hire labour at will on free contracts, while the shearers and associated workers wanted guaranteed employment, wages and hours. Governments were close to the pastoralist interests, while the shearers ‘were armed and mobile’.1 One of the loudest advocates for the shearers’ interests was William Lane, a fiery wellread journalist with a knowledge of Das Kapital and a vision for the future. The shearers lost most of the battles, and Lane decided to exit the war stage left - far left. As the strikes were broken and workers suffered through drought and rising unemployment, the Australian Labour Party was born. Lane, though, wanted a more radical solution to the struggle than mere political franchise. Inspired by Edward Bellamy’s utopian vision outlined in his popular novel of the time, Looking Backwards, Lane led an expedition of two hundred ambitious souls to the shores of Paraguay in the Royal Tar in 1893.

  • 1 the Balance of Power in Second World War Australia: the Deliberative Role of Coles and Wilson in the House of Repres
    THE BALANCE OF POWER IN SECOND WORLD WAR AUSTRALIA: THE DELIBERATIVE ROLE OF COLES AND WILSON IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM 1940 by Christopher Hayman A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of New South Wales 2005. 1 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: HAYMAN First name: CHRISTOPHER Other name/s: CHARLES DOUGLAS Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Faculty: ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Title: THE BALANCE OF POWER IN SECOND WORLD WAR AUSTRALIA: THE DELIBERATIVE ROLE OF INDEPENDENTS COLES AND WILSON IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM 1940. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The problem being investigated is the historical situation relating to two independent MPs holding the balance of power in the Australian House of Representatives in 1940 and 1941. The two MPs, Arthur Coles and Alex Wilson, supported the conservative Menzies and Fadden governments before shifting their support (on October 3 1941) to the Labor Party led by Curtin. The procedure followed is the examination, in the form of a historical narrative, of primary evidence in private papers (such as Coles’s), analysis of Hansard (CPD), local and metropolitan newspapers. Also examined are references to the two independents in secondary literature. The key focus of interest will be the idea that chance or serendipity played a major role in achieving all the key outcomes which many Australians (and historians like Hasluck) often otherwise depict as the triumph of good sense within a supposedly non-problematic two- party political system which self-selected the best possible leadership during time of war.

Their migration coincided with the escalating geopolitical tensions of the early Cold War, which in an Australian context turned migrants of Soviet origin into potential ‘enemy aliens.’ Soviet DPs have generally been considered virulently anti-communist, as indeed many were.
