Red letter day for Australians and all occupiers, what a crowd…!!!
Are you listening goverment of autralia…!!
If not now you will be..!! dont worry about that..!!!!!!!
wish I could have been there.
I don’t think that these pro-socialist and pro-communist protesters truly want what they’d get if they really got their way… It’s a dangerous fad they’re playing with.
well said 3GoldBars, hardcore communism is NOT the answer, socialism and communism are further steps toward enslavement (in a philosophical sense). Utter Police state vile nonsense. The same can be said of the hardcore movements toward the right (Facism). There is no left and right in politics, it’s a game, two wings of the same giant stinking bird. The false left/right paradigm, and nobody ever sees the puppeteer controlling both (massive banking cartels). Google it, google the US funding and arming Mao Tse Tung AND funding Hitler for example.
The thing that’s screwing the world up is phony capitalism and corruption – corporations in bed with the governments of the world to create monopolies – a form of collectivism – this is not capitalism!! It is blatant corrupt criminal activity! In a true capitalist society with a free market, and legislation and boundaries to curb corruption (and yes, corruption exists in socialist societies BIG TIME also), everybody would have a fair go, the third world if following pure capitalism would be far far better off – but instead through collectivism they were raped and continue to be raped.
Please please don’t ask for Soviet Russia style government – it’s not real, it’s collectivism, the same as Facism! We can do better than this, we just need to get massive corporations out of government, and end collectivism and corruption. Che Guevara? Guess what….he wasn’t that cool….do your homework on who he really was folks, don’t give in to symbols and labels and a false left/right paradigm
Guys, remember there are non-political/monetary alternatives that are gaining momentum, eg the documentary Zeitgeist Moving Forward is a good example. If you’re tired of the tried and tested corrupt practices both in the left and the right, you may want to investigate further into these other ones.
Nobody is asking for ‘Communist Russia”. Most people I have spoken to are in support of a fairer democratic/capitalist society. You should come down, participation not observation.
From the look of it this march was organised and attended by the Maritime Union of Australia and assorted communist groups.
Nothing new here – those rusted on relics have been marching for 50 years.
What ‘communist groups’? i was there, as were many of my friends, and we are involved. We are not communists (whatever that means..??) nor in the MUA. Participation not observation gives you a better understanding.
also to suggest MUA organising Occupy Sydney is so laughable in its obvious fallacy. If you actually want to know what its about, a basic tenet is participation.
There weren’t just communist groups. Many, many socialists.
Cont.
And many people that dont find under your political umbrella and labeling system.
Yes i would be more to the left,
But currently, i see no political party that caters to what i want to see happen in this country.
The occupy together movement makes sense, because it is a global movement of people, with one general motivation.
To see to it that the world becomes a better place.
I’d vote for that!
Remember what the great American, Henry Ford stated, – “If the American Public knew what the banks wer doing to them, there would be a revolution before dawn”
_(Compound Interest is the Killer)
Great photos!
I was at the march on Saturday. Casual observers could be forgiven for thinking it was a MUA/Socialist Alliance event, what with the enormous MUA and Che banners fronting the rally. Not a criticism, just an observation. At what point does the socialist left move past using Che as a figurehead? (Okay, that’s a criticism).
I broadly support some of the aims of the Occupy movement but I hate to say the rally I participated in on the weekend doesn’t have Buckley’s of broadening into a bipartisan mass movement. Already it appears to have been co-opted by several far-left groups. Why were there speakers raising the NT Intervention and Palestine?! The connection between these issues and the Occupy movement may be perfectly apparent to my learned comrades in the SA but in one simple sweep you’ve just confused and lost the wider population. They’re valid issues in their own right but, to quote an advertising catch-phrase, they’re off message.
Trust me: a lot of people in Australia on both sides of the political fence would be very happy to welcome a non-political grassroots movement targeting corporate excesses. Right now people are pissed at the banks, pissed at QANTAS, and very, very pissed at both major parties. You bring up Palestine or worker oppression at a rally like this and you’ve just shown Australia the Occupy movement is another rehash of the anti-globalisation movement and neither speaks to nor represents the average Australian.
Wake up ladies and gents, you’ve got a promising movement on your hands – don’t allow it to be derailed and co-opted this soon in the game. The anti-globalisation marches came to nought and this will too if it continues down that path.
wow, so glad these goons are being rounded up.
500 people you say? I was there and it looked more like 200, and by 7pm it was about 50.
such solidarity this movement in Australia has. If you truly were the 995 wouldnt there be, i dunno, several million of you? less than 500 people is less than 1% of australia.
YOU are the problem.
curious how you think we are we the problem? There were thousands at the march and we can show you video if you are interested – thats pretty awesome for a fairly non-activist country like AU.
Please note that recognition of funding the communist revolution in Russia is given to a dead US Banker in a New York cemetary a Morgan of Morgan Chase banking dynasty so Lenins tomb is a capitalist plot?.
Vast sums of money made using the fractional reserve banking scam have been used to install “enimies” also to build the Industrial Military Complex to make more money out of more wars, thus there is always a backer for bloody revolutions and then production of the enemy then a threat to “National Security”.
The biggest threat to peoples of the world and their security is the fractional reserve, debt bubble begining to burst as the greed of Bankers have overdone it and the debt is unpayable, however they will milk the system as much as they can to save this privilage given to them by corrupt governments worshiping at the alter of Mamon
