MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE STUDENT PROTESTS AGAINST PAULINE HANSON. A far left socialist activist group ran a month long campaign in an attempt to get high school students around Australia to participate in their anti Pauline Hanson campaign. That group is known as the Socialist Alternative, an Australian organisation that describes itself as “a revolutionary socialist organisation” with a mission to “ultimately fight to overthrow the capitalist system and create a world run democratically by workers—one that prioritises human need, not profit.” It has branches and student clubs in most major Australian cities and publishes the fortnightly newspaper Red Flag. While purporting to be focused on the mission of overthrowing capitalism it campaigns for many left wing agendas such as LGBT rights, climate change, racism, refugee rights and support for the end of the genocide in Palestine, organising protests in support of these ideas all over Australia. The organisation is also involved in the trade union and student union movements which they use as fronts for their agendas and astroturfing activities as was the case in this instance with the National Union of Students (NUS) as the advertised organiser of this latest protest. Socialist Alternative was formed in 1995 in Melbourne by a group of activists, including Mick Armstrong and Tom Bramble after they split from the International Socialist Organisation (ISO) following internal disagreements. Today the group’s leader is considered as Mick Armstrong, the man pictured below who appears to be in his 60s at least. Armstrong’s political beliefs are heavily rooted in Trotskyism, a branch of Marxism and Leninism developed by Russian revolutionary and intellectual Leon Trotsky which advocates for the tactic of a united front against right-wing parties. One could say these are quickly becoming antiquated ideologies in today’s political landscape, especially in Australia with our major left wing party Labor increasingly becoming more intertwined with the corporate capitalists and the Labor policies of mass immigration directly benefiting the capitalists by flooding the labour market and driving the scarcity and rising cost of housing with the biggest benefactor being the bankers that pull the strings of our economy. Socialist Alternative’s stated mission now directly contradicts the actions it takes on the streets. It’s quickly becoming its own enemy, and it doesn’t even know it. And this is why this man continues to look for younger minds to mould by now targeting our high school aged children to push his agenda. Even uni students are wising up to the reality that is facing our country. Armstrong needs to get them before they start to think and he has no shame in attempting to do it right under our noses. As previously stated he ran a month long social media campaign to target high school aged children to protest against the one political party that actually has Australians in mind as opposed to the two majors obviously bowing to their corporate masters who hide their agenda in human rights campaigns while their true aim is to strip every one of us of every right they can by intentionally descending society into chaos and stepping in as the saviour. Mick Armstrong is an old man, with radical old ideas that don’t apply to today’s society completely blinded to the reality unfolding in front of him. But nonetheless he presses on. We can take some comfort in the fact that this most recent campaign was a fail with only small numbers of what were obviously naive radicals responding to his call to action. The mainstream media tried to hide this fact but they tried too hard and the metaphorical emperor was caught with his pants down. But this won’t be the end for Armstrong and his organisation nor the other left wing groups in Australia as they scramble to try and derail the Pauline Hanson One Nation train heading into the next election. They have their sights set on our youth.
