  • In Australia the landscape is even more fragmented. There are quite a few smaller orgs but none of them are truly ML (even one that does label itself as ML is strictly anti AES). Currently the biggest org is SAlt (socialist alternative) and they are a western Marxist/Trotsky org. Although to be fare they are very effective organisers and have helped organise strikes, protests and they have set up seats in many of the electorates in the state of Victoria through Victorian socialist (the election is next week).

    SA (socialist alliance) is also similarly sized and runs some elections in a couple of other states. I don’t know as much about SA although SAlt and SA don’t get along well with each other at all despite seemingly having very similar pro revolution anti AES policies.














  • As an unseasoned comrade I’ll have a go first. Capital has fallen before. Look at the British Empire, the Dutch empire, The Spanish empire, The German empire etc. When capitalist empires fall they just get replaced by an emerging empire. I don’t think barbarism is something that is ever likely to occur even if workers 100% submit to their oppression.

    Also considering that in modern times fascism always ensures after a collapse of capital there will be a breeding ground for revolutionary activity during this time. Maybe barbarism is only a thing that can occur pre-capitalism when the proletariat class hadn’t yet formed.
