Domestic Violence in Australia: an Analysis, a Vision and the Way Forward

The planet is burning. The seas rise, the air thickens with smoke, and the workers’ human life and soul bend and warp under the crushing weight of capitalist decay. Every sharpening contradiction: the ecological, the economic, the social and psychological – dialectically echoes and reverberates another, because they are born of the same parent: The capitalist system that subordinates that essence which makes us human, to profit. In Australia, as in every capitalist nation, this rot reaches into our most intimate spaces. Behind closed doors, in the homes that capitalism once called “the heart of society,” domestic violence festers and grows. It is not an anomaly. It is a product of the system itself.

Australian imperialism and the crisis in the South West Pacific

Established as a colonial outpost of British imperialism, Australian capitalism grew by extending its reach across the Pacific through financial domination and state coercion. Today it faces a world rocked by capitalism’s rotting system. With America’s relative decline and China’s power surging, the bosses are tightening their grip to protect their profits.

Housing crisis: designed for profit

Housing, a basic human right, is now more than ever a tool of profit-making for the wealthy. The working class face an acute emergency, intensified by decades of capitalist exploitation. While the rich amass enormous profits, millions are locked out of secure, affordable housing. This is not a policy failure, it is the inevitable result of a system that prioritises profit over people’s basic needs.

Revolution & Finance

The task of building an international is not unheard of. Many comrades have dedicated their lives to it, and some have also lost their lives fighting for a future worth living in. At the current stage of capitalism’s crisis it is apparent that it would be a waste solely to fight for small scale reforms that the ruling class are unable and unwilling to afford. The only way forward is a revolution that can overthrow the entire system. As inflation keeps on rising, wages keep on sinking, bombs keep on dropping and the rich keep on exploiting- the working class will keep on fighting. However, most of the struggles currently being pursued by the working class ‘leaders’ are isolated. Only a united working class is capable of a successful socialist revolution.

The Last Gasp of the Status Quo

We are living through a difficult period for traditional, establishment politicians. In country after country, renegade gangs of populists, demagogues and mavericks are challenging the old liberal elite for power, with increasing success. As the masses’ confidence in the liberals rightly crumbles, across the world the vacuum has been filled by the likes of Farage, Le Pen, Meloni and, of course, Donald Trump.

Australia after Bondi: a country turned upside down

In December, two gunmen carried out the deadliest mass shooting Australia has seen in decades. This vile, antisemitic attack, inspired by Islamic State, took place during Hanukkah celebrations at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. In its aftermath, the Labor government initiated a brutal wave of repression, cynically using the attack to crack down on Australia’s pro-Palestine movement – the world’s largest outside the Middle East in terms of the number of major protests.
