In either case, it is by building working class struggle that the threat of Fascism will be best addressed.

Melbourne, Australian territory: What is required is a movement that knows the police are the attack dogs of the enemy and they are to be resisted with all the strength and intelligence we can muster. We need a movement that wants to #StopAdani directly, a movement that will create facts on the ground that the Government cannot ignore.
