Toowoomba Labour Day
May 4 2008, 7:19 AM EDT | Post edited: May 4 2008, 7:19 AM EDT
Have you got a report on what happened in Toowoomba for Labour Day? What other groups or political newspapers were available? How many marched?
Are you really selling 'The Guardian' in Warwick. It would be nearly impossible to sell a paper like than in rural Quensland I think? How many do they send you every week? Do you find this valuable?

No, I do not have a report on the May Day parade. What would the point be? The CFMEU, AWU, Stalinist League, CPA (ML), QNU, Teacher's Union, etc marched. The CPA (ML) handed out the Vanguard and Marxism Today. Around 500 marched. The Greater Warwick Stanthorpe Branch is selling the Guardian in Warwick. We are selling five copies a week. The League has sold all of them so fare. The times are changing in Warwick and the reds are coming. The Communist Party of Australia sends five copies to the Stalinist League every week. Long lives the CPA SLA alliance. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Well, that's all I was interested in. In fact you did give a report. 500 is a good turn out. Were they the only unions - what about the AMWU? They should have a branch? Any BLF?
That's amazing that you are selling The Guardian - do you sell it in the street or to your mates? I can imagine the reaction in Warwick if you tried to sell it in the street!
The born-agains would go nutty!

I didnt think the CPA would send you papers considering what you wrote about Peter Simon a few months ago. Do you find this valuable?

The AMWU and BLF were there. Warwick High School has 95% union membership. I am selling the Guardian to my mates. The two unions do have a branch in Queensland and have members in Warwick. I was selling the Guardian on the streets a couple of years ago in Warwick. No body said any thing to me. I sold around ten copies in just two weeks. I stop after about two weeks. It was a nice job to do for the Communist Party of Australia. Comrade Peter Symon thanked me for doing it. Do you find this valuable?

Well then you were lucky no evangelicals turned up. That's not bad to be able to sell 10 papers. Do you find this valuable?

I haven't notice any evangelicals in Warwick yet. If I do see them, I will just laugh at them. They are so ignorant about the world. Do you find this valuable?

How come you havent contacted the Brisbane branch of the CPA to help them with their activities. They have no-one under the age of 50+ in Qld. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I will talk to David Matters soon. Don't you get it, the SLA has collpased due to ASIC putting it into receivership due to poor financial managment. Plus the Red Star doesn;t have much of a future due to funding being cut back by the death of the SLA. The newspaper needs money to operate. What about Timothy Kerswell, he is a member of the Communist Party Brisbane Branch and is only 23 years of age? I was talking to him two years ago about joining the Communist Party of Australia. The talks and all attempts to join the Party was a total failure due to David Matters and Peter Symon woriking hard to keep me out of the Communist Party. Go and complain to them about the situation, comrade. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Yes, it seems like some new life is needed in the CPA. I dont know why they would try to keep you out. What did they say?
I's not as if the CPA in Brisbane ever does anything - at least you are selling GUARDIAN.

What do you think of the new Revolutionary Socialist Party? They split from the DSP? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

The RSP and the DSP are a mob of trotsky idiots. Communism is dead Warwick since the SLA and the Red Star collapse. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

CPA has had several splits in the last couple of years. Their are other groups that have split from the CPA. Maybe you should investigate thoses. CPA is a revisionist party and has been for a while.

Revolutionary Socialist Party is a Trotyist party, their is always the CPA(ML). 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

CPA is revisionist, what? Is that really true? Peter Symon or Hannah wouldn't like to hear that. I have a subscription to the Guardian. I get it every week in the mail. I don't have much faith in communism any more. Do you find this valuable?

Personally I don't care what Peter Symon and Hannah think. They have betwayed the Socialist cause and have a distorted view of communism. Many members have felt disempowered due to their misunderstanding of Democratic Centralism and sectarian views, bording on trotyists tendencies. THEY DO NO REPRESENT communism in Australia and if you subcribe to the Guardian I can perfectly understand why you may have lost faith in communist principles. Do you find this valuable?

I know what you mean. Communism has basicly collapsed in Warwick because of bad managment and continued attacks by the police force, Queensland Teachers' Union and many others. I've been fighting these idiots for a long time. Do you find this valuable?
