The Victorian Election: what Labor, the Coalition and the left offer workers

The Victorian Election: what Labor, the Coalition and the left offer workers

Victorians vote this November. What do Labor, the Coalition, One Nation, the Greens and the Socialist Party represent, and why organise as workers, not voters?

This must sound so smart if you’re fucking stupid. Reads like a parody of Endnotes. ‘What is to be Done?’ - who knows! Let the kids figure it out while they fight with the cops! How will fighting the cops develop towards power against capital? ‘Youth creativity’ will sort it out.

Building power in the bush: organising bush regeneration workers

ACF members began organising bush regeneration workers last year. See how relationships, small wins and an activists group built union power in the bush.

The AI gamble: capitalism, data centres and workers’ control

The AI gamble: capitalism, data centres and workers’ control

Capitalists have turned to AI to keep profits flowing, whatever the cost. Why the AI bubble and data centres hurt workers, and how workers’ control could change it.

The problems of AI are the problems of capitalism

The problems of AI are the problems of capitalism

The fundamental problem with AI is that capitalists control it and it is subject to the system’s prevailing conditions of profit maximisation, competition, imperial rivalry and more.
