If you care about democracy & justice, centre Brazil’s election. A global right-wing kleptocratic criminal network, led by powerful forces in the US, Israel and Russia, is operating across borders. No democracy can withstand this in isolation. Just Democracies need a global coalition of their own.

True. Australia was built on industry co-operatives: diary, fishing, etc. I'm a little jaded having lived on two land sharing co-operatives. We do need to rethink economics. Concepts such as the Circular Economy, Growing & Buying Local, etc are all more sustainable 1earthmedia.com/the-circular...

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.
