We interviewed Ravibha Jeyanathan about the political situation in India under Narendra Modi, and the task of rebuilding a revolutionary Marxist current. Ravibha is from Tamil Nadu in southern India, having sought refuge there from the Sri Lankan genocide. She completed her PhD research in London, researching post-war asylum experiences among Eelam Tamils in the UK. She is a member of Pothuvudamai Iyakkam (Socialist Movement). Ravibha was a guest speaker at this year's Marxism Conference in Melbourne. 

At the 2024 Marxism Conference, Red Flag Radio spoke to Argentinian socialist Cesar Latorre, union militant and leading member of the Movimiento Socialista Los de Trabajadores (MST). Chloe asked Cesar about the role of the revolutionary left in the struggle against far right Argentine President Javier Milei. Milei came to power promising radical free market policies, massive cuts to the public sector and a confrontational approach to the unions and the left. Since taking office he has unleashed a wave of attacks on workers, students and the poor -- announcing plans to sack 70,000 public sector workers, lower pensions, defund education and crackdown on dissent with attempts to outlaw forms of protest. Milei's attacks and rampant inflation mean that working class living standards are in free fall. But Milei has been met with significant resistance. He has faced mass protests in January, two general strikes since taking office and an emerging student resistance to education cuts. The revolutionary left in Argentina has played a significant role in these mobilisations. Alongside the dangers of the moment, opportunities have emerged in the course of struggle for the socialist left to grow.   Further reading: Red Flag on class struggle in Argentina: https://redflag.org.au/article/fight-continues-argentina   https://redflag.org.au/article/left-argentinas-general-strike     https://redflag.org.au/article/shock-therapy-argentina     https://mst.org.ar/2024/05/15/panorama-politico-luchas-sociales-tensiones-y-crisis-en-el-horizonte/    

We were lucky enough to interview the inimitable Dr Gary Foley at the 2024 Marxism Conference where he was a guest speaker. Gary is a living legend of the Aboriginal rights movement: he was a founding member of the Sydney Black Power movement and the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra in the 1970s. Gary is a staunch supporter of Palestine, speaking at almost every Palestine demonstration in Melbourne since Israel's war began, making the case for solidarity and resistance to colonialism, racism and capitalism. As well as being an inspiring activist, Foley is an educator of the next generation through his writings and his archive of Aboriginal history, set to be the largest of its kind.  Emma asked Gary about his life, about the importance of standing up to Gaza and the importance of conferences like Marxism as gatherings of the radical left.  Further readings Check out Gary's website here: https://www.gooriweb.org/ Gary Foley: ‘a direct and fiercely intellectual man' by Tony Birch in Red Flag  The 1971 Springbok tour protests- an interview with Gary Foley in Red Flag  Don't miss out on the next radical conference near you:  - Sydney Socialism Conference: 16-18 Aug - Brisbane Socialism Conference: 23 Aug  - Perth Socialism Conference: 10-11 Aug - Adelaide Socialism Conference: 14-15 Aug

The Theology of Marxism, Session 7 In this third and final panel of Sovereign Nations's The Theology of Marxism Conference, Michael O'Fallon sits down live on stage with Dr. James Lindsay—renowned scholar, self-proclaimed agnostic, and a new convert from liberalism to conservatism (as confirmed exclusively in this episode), as well as Charlie Kirk, the Founder and President of Turning Point USA. They discuss the roots of Marxism, the Woke Rotting of Corporate America, ESG, Elon Musk & Tesla, how to crush your political enemies, the New Right, Klaus Schwab's Great Reset, and how it all comes together to form an urgent warning sign for American conservatives to wake up, stand up, and fight back for the future of our republic. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

The Theology of Marxism, Session 3 Marxism is a theology, and its religion is Communism. That we have failed to understand this fact over the 175 years since Marx wrote the early drafts of what he originally called the Communist Confession of Faith and published in by the title The Communist Manifesto is indisputably one of the most damaging analytical errors in human history, if not the single worst. It's time to set the record straight. Marx laid out an evil theology, and the practice of his religion is a liturgy of death and destruction. To understand the Marxist theology, we have to understand its theological antecedent, which was laid down by the German systematic theologian, speculative idealist, and Hermetic alchemist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. His theology is a dialectical one, the father of what Marx turned into dialectical materialism, and it is the combination of two mystery religions. Hegel, building on Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Father of Leftism), Immanuel Kant, and others dialectically synthesized Hermetic alchemy and Gnosticism, hammered it into a Christianity-based metaphysical framework, and mislabeled it a "system of science." Thus we arrive at what has been variously called "Scientific Gnosticism," "Gnosticism in the Modern Era," and "Dialectical Leftism," which outlines a broad system of faith in man's necessary role as a transformer of reality into its utopian idealized state at the End of History. In this deep-diving presentation from The Theology of Marxism Conference, New Discourses (https://newdiscourses.com/) Founder James Lindsay (https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames) explains for the first time in decades and in unprecedented clarity how Rousseau and Hegel architected the seeds of a broad Dialectical Faith of Leftism that Marx codified into his own anti-human theology. http://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: paypal.me/sovnations patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: sovereignnations.com/subscribe facebook.com/SovereignNations twitter.com/SovNations youtube.com/SovereignNations rumble.com/c/sovnations instagram.com/sovnations/ minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations parler.com/profile/sovnations © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

The Theology of Marxism, Session 1 We are living in one of the most perilous times in human history. We are being transitioned from an analogue world of objectivity, of real and true relationships, of authentic experiences - of real life itself - and we are being transitioned into a digital world of subjective manipulative experiences. In this wide-ranging presentation from The Theology of Marxism Conference, Sovereign Nations Founder Michael O'Fallon explains how each pillar of our civilization has been captured by those that would seek to disrupt and dismantle the institutions of our culture. http://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: paypal.me/sovnations patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: sovereignnations.com/subscribe facebook.com/SovereignNations twitter.com/SovNations youtube.com/SovereignNations rumble.com/c/sovnations instagram.com/sovnations/ minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations parler.com/profile/sovnations © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

In Melbourne Australia, a socialist organisation called Socialist Alternative organises an annual Marxism Conference over the Easter long weekend. This year, they invited special guest Haley Pessin from the International Socialist Organisation and the Black Lives Matter Movement. She gave a keynote address at the conference, which we broadcast for you now.

Today on Accent of Women, we look at the situation in two neighbouring Middle Eastern countries, Lebanon and Syria. Farah Kobeissy, is an activist and a researcher in gender, labor and migration. She is also a member of the Socialist Forum in Lebanon. She was in Australia for the annual Marxism Conference organised by Socialist Alternative and I had an opportunity to speak with her.

By Meeghan Bell Listen to Red Dirt In Bondi: The Story of Building Bridges' "The facts are really not at all like fish on the fishmonger's slab. They are like fish swimming about in a vast and sometimes inaccessible ocean; and what the historian catches will depend, partly on chance, but mainly on what part of the ocean he chooses to fish in and what tackle he chooses to use – these two factors being, of course, determined by the Kind of fish he wants to catch. By and large, the historian will get the kind of facts he wants. History means interpretation." - E.H. Carr I was sitting in the packed auditorium as Gary Foley presented 'Life of Struggle' at the 2015 Marxism Conference in Melbourne. He commanded the stage, held the audience in the palm of his hand and I listened fiercely and took notes. He spoke passionately about the history of Aboriginal resistance in Australia, of which he played a central role and shared iconic images of his life including photos with rock star Michael Hutchence (pictured below). Foley also spoke about an album he'd been involved with titled, Building Bridges - Australia Has A Black History. Gary Foley & Michael Hutchence, Building Bridges 1989 Bicentenary January 26th 1988 Aboriginal Protests at Sydney Harbour It wasn't entirely clear then of course but as I listened to Foley talk, a seed was planted and once I'd been selected to participate in the CBAA National Features and Documentary Series, the 1989 Building Bridges album and the story surrounding its creation began to absorb almost every waking moment of my life. 'Red Dirt in Bondi' is a radio feature set in Sydney around the time of the Bicentenary, 26 January 1988. The key participants in this feature are Aboriginal activist and academic Gary Foley, the Building Bridges Cultural Construction Crew featuring Jim George, Tony Duke and Denise Officer (Andrew McMillan passed away on 28 January 2012) and singer-songwriter, Kev Carmody. For a rookie like myself there were significant challenges in bringing this radio story to life including the historical nature of the topic and the complex relationship between black and white Australia since 1788. Not to mention attempting an interesting and thought-provoking radio feature in under 27 minutes. The story of Building Bridges, involving a small group of people with the support of the Australian Music Industry, is as relevant today as it was back in '88. It is vital to keep re-telling and sharing this piece of history so that we may move towards true reconciliation in this country and achieve justice for Australia's First People. I would like to thank Phil Ruck, David Miller and others from 3MDR for their amazing support, the CBAA and CMTO for the wonderful opportunity but most importantly to the 'Red Dirt in Bondi' participants Jim, Gary, Tony, Denise and Kev for sharing the incredible Building Bridges story.

Kim and Annie talk to Jerome Small about his upcoming talk at the Marxism Conference 2016 about the Trade Union Education League in America during the 1930s; they talk to Graham Willet from Melbourne Union branch of the NTEU about the 5 year plan for Melbourne Uni that discusses the idea of getting rid of live lectures; then its down to a political tour of Bolivia, Chile and Ecquador form Denis Rogatyuk who has just returned from a 3 month Sth American journey.

Marxism Conference 2015 concluded recently in Melbourne. Among a range of prominent international and local speakers, the two that stood out the most were Emory Douglas, the former Minister for Culture of the Black Panther Party, and Eamonn McCann, a long-time Irish socialist and civil rights campaigner. The show's topic focused on the experience of the two activists and the assessment of today's situation with regards to the struggle against austerity and racism. 

Recorded 15 October 1988 at the Marx and Marxism Conference. The laissez-faire liberals understood that state violence is used by government agents, employees, and benefactors to exploit the rest of the population. Thus, the liberals understood the economic and political important of "class warfare." Later, though, the Marxists twisted the idea to claim that capitalists "exploit" the workers.
