Massive props to the public school teachers (socialist and non-socialist alike) who are pushing back against the Queensland government's attempt to force through an agreement that will cut their pay and do nothing for their conditions. ✊ 🙌 ❤️

When it comes to the housing crisis, supply is only part of the picture. The system is currently so rigged for wealthy investors and developers that it's often profitable for them to keep properties empty, rather than sell them or rent them out. This urgently needs to change!

Well done to everyone who has devoted countless hours in recent weeks to the community campaign against the Cohealth closures for making this partial victory possible. The fight, however, isn't over, and we'll be continuing to organise and protest in the coming weeks and months!
Community pressure has delayed the Cohealth closures for 8 months, but this is still not enough

Grotesque. We could solve world hunger for $40 billion a year. (And before anyone jumps in with the 'but, but, but, the value creation!' - Elon doesn't create sh*t he just gets high and posts all day. The people creating value are his workers.)

health workers and the community will occupy the cohealth clinics until Labor agrees to fund them. Labor is playing a dangerous game of chicken with the cohealth board. They're playing with the lives of 12,500 working class people. 1/2

Zohran Mamdani is a relatively moderate social democrat not a 'jihadist communist' as some on the right have labelled him. Nevertheless, his decisive victory shows there's an appetite for real change - even in the heartlands of capitalism like New York.

Zohran Mamdani aims merely to reduce somewhat the extreme inequality that blights US society today, particularly in places like New York. The right-wing hysteria about him shows how coddled the US ruling class has become in a system rigged to benefit them at every turn. 🧵

Labor's 5% deposit scheme contributed to price growth at the lower end of housing market of 14.4% (annualised) in October. This policy, predictably, is going to lock even more people out of the housing market while pushing others to take on excessive levels of debt.

Makes sense. Fascism is an ideology not of workers but of the frustrated upper and middle classes which in practice, historically, has primarily served the interests of big capital. Wherever the far right has come to power, working-class people (and particularly working-class women) have suffered.

A wonderful illustration by NT Socialists member Dani (enkidooby_doo on Insta), bringing to mind the classic Brecht poem, 'Questions from a worker who reads'. Look it up if you haven't come across it before. Essential reading for socialists! ✊

Full results from WA Socialists' first electoral foray - in statewide local council elections which were completed on 18th October. An average of 12.5 percent across ten council wards is a really good result for a party that only launched a few months ago!
