BAD APPLES IN AUSTRALIAN POLITICS

The so-called free world has feared communism for over 90 years with the rise of the Soviet Union and dictatorship of Joseph Stalin who planned to turn the world to communism.

We came to identify Stalinist communism as the extreme left that caused fear around the world. There was Soviet communism followed by Chinese communism.

Liberal and socialist ideology stood in the middle of the political spectrum and formed the basis of democratic government across the world.

Some 20 years later, we came to fear the rise of Adolf Hitler and a fascist regime that planned to set up an empire to last a thousand years with the annihilation of Jews This was the extreme right.

USA and Australia feared the rise of communism in the trade unions. Senator McCarthy of the US congress moved against communism in the movie industry. with the futures of many producers, directors and actors ruined.

He failed to understand that the real communist threat came from teachers who did their best to sabotage the official program to lift the standard of education above the Soviet Union that had just put Sputnik into space.

The damage remains to this day with lowering standards of education across the world. Now the so-called Free World education has been beaten by education of Malaysia and South Korea. 

In Australia, fear of communism in the unions led in the 1950s to the formation of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) led at times by B.A. Santamaria and Arthur Caldwell.

Caldwell is famous for his statement in parliament that “two wongs do not make a white:” He was anti-Chinese.

With the formation of the DLP, the communists set up the Socialist Left particularly in Victoria.

Over the last 30 years, there has been a rise in the extreme right in the world the result of the refugee influx into Europe. The extreme right is anti-semitic and has found a place in Australian politics.

Recent weeks has shown in the media that the National Party has been infiltrated by the extreme right.

There is  an extreme left and extreme right in Australian politics well hidden. The National Party is the party of the country voters. At least Pauline Hanson seems to be moving to the centre. Some of us have long memories.

It may be that the extreme left/right has infiltrated world HIV/AIDS with a plan to take control of families across the world and blame all men. Lesbians of the world unite.
