Socialist Alliance
From RationalWiki
Socialist Alliance is an Australian political party, that is, (shock horror) socialist (socialist in the Marxist sense). They have two elected local councilors, although they have never won anything on a federal or state level since forming in 2001.
They're often confused with the similarly named Socialist Alternative, the latter being fond of petitions, rallies during mid week and shouting at people on campus.
[edit] Principles
According to their website,[1] their party is based on 5 principles:
- Solidarity and collaboration - not dog-eat-dog competition and rivalry
- Environmental sustainability - living in harmony with the planet
- Participatory democracy - not just voting for "representatives" every three years
- Social economy - putting people's need before corporate profit
- true equality - between peoples, nations, religions and the sexes
