Saw a “Marxism, why don’t we give it one more try?” poster at Curtin, but an ad pinned nearby shows that the spirit of capitalism cannot be broken. If it was a rolly, they might be taking control of the means of production. A 4 day Marxism conference? Now that’s one event that really WILL be all about the rooting.

As something of a veteran, I can confirm that you’re in the vicinity of 100% correct. However, it will give those who actually attend a sense of marvellous exclusivity, like some kind of cusp-dwelling Leninist vanguard whose privilege it is to skew essay questions towards the argument for an intercontinental GLBTI worker’s permaculture revolution, lead by women of the developing world (who are better able to understand the needs of complex and interdependent ecosystems than their wage-dependent male counterparts). Days 1 and 2 will be largely devoted to sensationalist outpourings of rage and disgust, bleeding into competitive comparisons of nebulous career goals (in sustainability and international development), while days 3 and 4 of the conference will see the insidious infiltration of Christian community groups who really want to make a difference in peoples’ lives, which will seem to make a lot of sense given that no time will have been spent analysing ways in which the Left could impact our electoral democracy. There might even be a few minutes left over one lonesome night for a few rounds of ‘What do we want/when do we want it’, or if everyone’s feeling especially psyched, a bit of ‘Whose streets’. Amirite?

Dear P Nurry
At first blush (which is the colour of the poster in fact) I find it impossible to fathom that a Chavez-loving leftie like Pilger can even be allowed back in Australia. Like that holocaust denying nazi lover David Irving, he should be banned.
Has he written endless twaddle about walks around Allen Park musing over things like the potato board, ABBA and alien perceptions of what life in Swanborne must be like?
Will this dimwit ever write countless (not to mention repetitive) diatribes about Kevin Rudd and his failed climate change aspirations?
Furthermore, do people come up to him in coffee shops with the newspaper articles that he’s written for autographing?
Does he do much cutting and pasting? Ands even when he does, is it noticable?
The answer to all of the above is no! All this bolshie layabout does is write books, make the odd video about places under military occupation and go on about social injustices in the world. Hardly the stuff of good columns.
In fact it’s enough to make me want to puke.
And what the fuck are they doing with a speaker from Palestine? Gramsci wasn’t a Palestinean – I don’t even think he was an enclave-creating Muslim. Yet he had three – yes count them – three levels of hegemony. I doubt even Pilger has two.
As for women’s liberation, forget it. All I need is three names – Alannah McTiernan, Pauline Hanson and Julie Bishop – to write about womens’ issue without look like a misogynist.
Oh, of course there’s Condi Rice, and that’s when I can write in nig nog speak and pretend I’m being a satirist rather than a racist.
Yep – I’m about as far from the left as one can get. Needless to say I won’t be going. Easter is all about red wine and choccies – not struggling workers.
