The #ParisCommune was destroyed just like the #SovietUnion was. After the #Paris #Commune was destroyed, the press was quick to call #socialism this "failed idea" even back then, pointing to the destruction of the Paris Commune & the murder of the Communards to make their case.
Day 15 #OpEd reminder of who benefits from #LNP policy
Thu 31 Oct, 2024.
“#PeterDutton says his office asked whether billionaire (Oligarch) #GinaRinehart's jet was available for event: #OppositionLeader Peter Dutton has admitted his own error after saying he had never requested access to billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart's #PrivateJet in his travels.”
Mr Dutton has previously #declared flights provided by #HancockProspecting, owned by Ms #Rinehart, but on Tuesday said "no" when asked if he had ever personally asked to be flown courtesy of the nation's #richest woman.

Day 15 cont
“The #Nationals #leader, #DavidLittleproud, called it a “slip of the tongue” when Price, the shadow minister for #GovernmentEfficiency and Indigenous #Australians, told a campaign rally she wanted to “make #Australia great again” on Saturday. The #senator later claimed she hadn’t “even realised” she made the comments, then accused the media of being “obsessed” with the US president.
Guardian #Australia has obtained an image of the senator at an event with her family over the Christmas period wearing a Maga hat.
…
Guardian Australia has approached #Coalition campaign headquarters for comment.”

#Liberals
“The Liberals now hold consistent and significant leads in Quebec, Ontario, and the Atlantic. If this persists to the election, the Liberals could secure a majority before vote counting begins in some ridings. They also lead in British Columbia and have better prospects in Alberta than in recent elections”
…
“The gender gap is astonishing, with the Liberals ahead by 29 points with women... “
Breaking: A US #immigration #judge has ruled that the #deportation case against #MahmoudKhalil can proceed, a month after the #Columbia student was detained over his involvement in pro #Palestine #protest.
What was obvious from the day that the election was called is that #Carney would lead the #liberals to a majority government .... all to do with World #events. The political pundits still pretend that there is along time left to change the outcome. my take. it's over. the debates will do little to change anything. calm wins the day. And that has been true since mid march!
Interesting: testing the parties' crowd claims in #Canadian election. The #Liberals are out by about 100% (claiming double the real number). The #Conservatives are out by about 1000%. Error 10X!

@Crispius I beg my fellow #Canadians to not let this #MAGA madness infect our fine country. Yes, the #Liberals are shifty. Yes, the #CPC make many good points. But putting a bunch of wannabe Trumpists in charge of the country would be a catastrophe. You don't have far to look to see the proof. Vote strategically!
All over the West voters have been fooled into believing they have a choice between right vs left politics, between corporate vs workers choices, between national social services and privatized services.
In truth there's only the alt-right wing and the lite-right wing. The Labour Party in the UK, like the Democrats in the US and the Liberals in Canada are essentially conservatives who hide their intentions under 'nice' words.
#SocialDemocrats are demons in disguise, call it metaphor I don't care they sided with the fascist & kill #RosaLuxemburg & they'll do it again to stop any #revolution.

The #Liberals have a #candidate problem continued:
“The #Coalition’s (#LNP) election campaign is being dogged by a lengthening list of #CandidateIssues, the latest revelation that the contender (#JeffreyKidney) for the #Melbourne seat of #Wills pleaded #guilty to obtaining financial advantage by #deception and was ordered to pay #fines and #compensation worth more than $10,000.”
The poor quality of candidates is beginning to bite the Liberals.

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:
“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.
A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”
…
“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”
The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this #tariff bullshit, letting people know that #Congress has the power to end this, & getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the #DemocraticParty so none of this will happen.
