Any Socialist groups in the northern rivers?
considering how “left wing” this region is I would think that finding groups wouldn’t be to hard, but I can’t seem to find much. Anyone know anywhere I should look?

Marxism Conference
Did you attend? What did you think?
Talking about it on the final day last week at the Palestine rally and again yesterday with people who were not Alternative members brought up a reoccuring complaint: the Q&As at the end of presentations always felt very strange.
People did not ask questions, instead they would make long declarations expounding on how this topic reinforced the need to be a Marxist and joint SAlt. There would be one person after another doing this, none of them addressing the topic or asking the presenter about the subject or their book or to elaborate on a point or clarify something or whatever other sort of normal question.
People I spoke to on both occasions all brought this up and said some variation of feeling like these things were scripted or staged and the people doing it planted.

What does CPA(ML) actually do? Like if you join as a member, do they go coordinate to infiltrate organisations or something? Just elect each other to positions of editorship of the low readership publications?
No hate genuinely curious about their relevance or if they're mostly LARPing

Where to buy ethical clothes?
Hello! Since I don't have the means to make my own clothing, I was wondering if anyone here has suggestions to purchase ethically made clothes? I just want a linen shirt and maybe a coat or something like that. If you know, then I greatly appreciate it!

There is no jobs "bonanza" under AUKUS. In fact, there is a huge wasted opportunity to create jobs.

What’s the CFMEU like in QLD?
I was wanting to join the CFMEU as a traffic controller because I’ve heard they pay heaps and will take care of u. But what’s the catch? Like surely there’s a reason they pay people that much and I’ve seen people online saying they aren’t good but then people I met irl r telling me it’s great.
