It technically wouldn't be overriding a referendum, which is exactly the sort of bullshit that would send people into a tizzy, which is why they should do it.

I think the worst part of this whole thing is that progressives had to pretend as if the misinformation that the right was peddling about landback and a third house of parliament with veto powers were wild and crazy, unconscionable ideas. Those are much better proposals than what we were going to get and should have been defended to the hilt, even if irrelevant to the referendum.

I never backed down on it at work, and most of the other machinists I work with are loving Boers. I just don't see the point of trying to moderate demands for fascists when convincing progressives the correctness of radical ideas is far more important. So you lose now, but next time the minimum demand might not be limp-dicked advisory bodies.

Follow up on this: when the press were interviewing these dickheads after that hearing and at one point they said "Heil Hitler!" and Hersant started to raise his arm to do the Nazi salute but went "Oh wait, that's illegal now isn't it? :smug:" and stopped halfway. Looks like the cops are going to charge him for it anyway: https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/white-supremacist-facing-charges-after-allegedly-performing-nazi-salute-20231102-p5egx3.html

Suck poo poo, nazi!

Reminded me of that West German stand up comic that would get the audience to do funny call and repeats, steadily getting faster and faster then end with Heil Hitler at the same time the house lights would suddenly turn on and you'd have all these loving nice 'denazified' middle class Germans doing Nazi salutes and yelling Heil hitler. He should try that as a defence. He was just stealing a bit.

Lenin's rolling in his loving grave. I can't believe we're still having fuckwits think any form of electoralism has to be derided more than a century later. Could you imagine how loving gassed he would be if the Kalmyks or Uzbeks or another national minority had managed to force the Tsar to hold a referendum of All Russians to determine whether they should have a representative advisory body reporting straight to the duma? He would have thought it was a loving useless body, but the campaign and the defeat it would bring to Russian chauvinism if it could succeed would be worth it.

Gee the Soviet Union was a great place for minorities and political dissidents. What a model country

I mean in comparison to the West, I really don't see how it was not. The political dissidents were Nazis or the liberals that made modern Russia the fascist terror state it is today. It's not like nothing terrible was done, the deportation of Crimean Tatars for one, but transfer of populations after the war were conducted by and supported in rhetoric by the Allies as well. In comparison yeah it was an absolute model country. For the majority of the Soviet Union's existence Australia had the White Australia policy, America had segregation and Britain was conducting genocides in the colonies. It's not a coincidence that national liberation movements in the global south saw in the Soviets an ally.

the communists don't want to accept it but there is no revolutionary movement, and won't be again for a long time

all you can do is build and be a part of your community. form a union at work. read theory. start a block garden. be the person your neighbor comes to when the revolution *does* happen. that's the only communist option left, currently. lol.

voting no isn't really serving the purposes of yourself or your community, but uh, too late on that one now.

The only hope for a revolutionary movement in Australia would be an anti-colonial uprising, and that's pretty unlikely. The far more likely scenario is that US hegemony collapses and we end up a bigoted fortress of reaction with a crumbling economy no longer subsidised by global white supremacy, slowly sinking into the sea. But if you don't actually try and work towards a better future what reason is there for living? We know liberal parliamentary democracy can't or won't deal with the crises we face. There's literally only one choice, socialism or barbarism.

So was voting No to the Voice socialism or barbarianism?

Barbarism. It was a loving stupid call and shows the dire state of Australian socialism that even with the vast majority of indigenous people, progressive parties, trade unions and simple morality backing yes, that some could convince themselves a boycott of a compulsory vote, or worse standing alongside the fascists in the rejection, would do anything but harm the movement for indigenous sovereignty.

FWIW the CPA's line was always yes.

Unless you're living stealth and you're unlucky enough to get chadfished (or otherwise encounter an incel in the wild), you should be OK, since they spend most of their energy hating beautiful women they can't have and the men they compete with. If you don't pass well enough for incel standards, and aren't flawlessly beautiful, you're more or less invisible to those narcissistic fucks.

If reports start coming in of incel attacks on trans people, then we can start worrying.

Oh sorry, thought you meant more generally, not this specific context.
