He was also a 2020 Council Candidate for Victorian Socialists and a RedFlag newspaper writer!
Together, they discuss the how the initial Posie Parker counter-demo in Naarm was successful (contrary to mainstream media narrative). The impact it had on Aotearoa, Tasmania and Trans Visibility Snap Protest and how left-mobilisation quashes the confidence of fascists and the far-right.
Chris urges listeners to head to the Marxism Conference 2023 to learn about radical left-wing history and how we can apply these lessons for today!
