Marxism sure isn’t dead – not at Melbourne University, where it is now wearing the clothes of the global warming movement. Tony Thomas checks the astonishing new book written by the head of the university’s Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute.

[Its] Director, Professor Brendan Gleeson, has just co-authored with staffer Dr Sam Alexander a book Degrowth in the Suburbs: A Radical Urban Imaginary.

The book calls for the overthrow of capitalism en route to a mightily shrunken non–consumerist “eco-socialism”… MSSI last March also published an update by the Gleeson/Alexander duo, “showcasing new and exciting sustainability knowledge”.

The authors respectfully quote Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto of 1848. But they argue for a decarbonised Australia which for radicalism makes Marx and Engels seem mild as maiden aunts… The more pain for citizens the better, apparently, to “shake people awake”:

“In our view, it is better that citizens are not in fact protected from every disruptive situation, given that encounter with crisis can play an essential consciousness-raising role”…

… the authors time-travel to 2038 and discover what a success their policies have been. Large fossil-fuel companies are nationalized in a near “war time mobilization” and their workers handed a job guarantee in renewables.

Graffiti daubers in 2038 instead write inspirational slogans: “Graffiti art sprayed all over Melbourne captured the spirit best: ‘I have a little; you have nothing; therefore, we have a little’”. Suburbanites share food from their vegie plots, eschew distant holidays (local trips show “hidden delights” within reach of a borrowed electric car), mend their own clothes, eat vegetarian and fertilise their backyard plots with nutrients from their composting toilets. “As old attitudes die, it is now broadly accepted that a civilized society in an era of water scarcity should not defecate into potable water…” they write.

“Tiny houses” on wheels proliferate on idle driveways and spare rooms are opened to boarders. Homesteaders enjoy sewing, baking bread and brewing beer. (Home-brewed cider and port feature in Alexander’s previous yurts-and-jam-jar imaginings). People spend their leisure on “low-impact creative activity like music or art, home-based production, or sport.” But many sport fields get converted to cropping, which is tough on the likes of AFL fans who initially create “instances of social conflict” until won over by Gleeson and Alexander’s insights…

The ‘vast majority’ of city people do some food-growing and bee-keeping in their welcome new roles as “urban peasantry”…

The book says the “working class struggle” should involve, of course, a giant increase in State control for a “wholesale eco-socialist transition”. There would be “vastly increased democratic planning and perhaps even some rationing of key resources to ensure distributive equity” … with socialization of property per se likely later down the track.

There’s much more. But here’s the problem. This kind of thinking – a mix of Marxism and Rousseau-inspired “back to nature”dreaming – is the product of a university institute backed by people with lots of corporate and institutional power:

You may be wondering about this Sustainable Society Institute. It’s not some rogue element of the campus in a reefer-strewn Carlton hideaway but an interdisciplinary Melbourne University standard-bearer. It has a “diverse and vibrant Advisory Board of experts, leaders and champions of sustainability.” They include Nobelist Peter Doherty and the president, no less, of the university’s professorial board, Rachel Webster.

Housed in the architecture faculty , it has a staff of 21 including four professors, 6-7 PhDs and 10 administrators. There goes about $3m salaries a year in tax and fees….

Check out MSSI’s “diverse and vibrant advisory board of experts, leaders and champions of sustainability.” Chair is Melbourne’s deputy mayor Arron Wood, a graduate of the Climate Leadership program run by globe-trotting, CO2-belching Al Gore. Other members include John Bradley, State Environment Department head and previously CEO of power distributor Energy Networks; and various green group leaders like Katerina Gaita, CEO of “Climate for Change”…

The MSSI board, apart from some vested interests, also bulges with corporate high-flyers… These barons and duchesses of a dying order include Rosemary Bissett, sustainability head of National Australia Bank; Gerard Brown, corporate affairs head of ANZ Bank; and Victoria McKenzie-McHarg, strategy manager at Bank Australia. She boasts of leading the campaign to replace Hazelwood power station… Then there’s Adam Fennessy, EY consultancies’ government strategy partner and ex-head of Victoria’s Environment Department. No green lobby would be replete without big emitter Qantas, and MSSI has Megan Flynn, listed as Qantas group environment and carbon strategy manager.

Sanity is being smothered by a thick web of green networkers.

We have a new governor general and what a laughable appointment that is. This bloke is the one who kicked off and promoted the LGBTQXYZ debacle in the ADF and was instrumental in kicking Major Bernard Gaynor out of the army reserve because he expressed his Christian beliefs.
This is up there with recognising Kevin Rudd in the Queen’s honours.

Heavy LOL!!

It has taken over ten years for the admission to be made by Queensland Police, carjackings are out of control. The cops are a bit slow when it comes to realisations, however, they eventually got there with this issue, including they do not have sufficient resources to adequately deal with carjackings. I have no doubts, should the coppers pull their ‘resources away from revenue raising activities, they may in fact, come within a bulls roar of bringing carjackings, home invasions, bashings and all those fun things criminals are doing, under some semblance of control.

Instead of police taking the usual tack of blaming innocent citizens for this crime, perhaps help us by fully identifying the criminal types involved, so we may take action accordingly.

These Climate Change Activists in Brisbane are blocking the streets during rush hour. In my view, the Climate Change activists are not the real problem, The real problems are Labor Government, Soft Magistrates, and Sh-t Scared Police.

One magistrate ( obviously a woman) said if the activist in court was her daughter she would be ‘proud of her’. Another one fines another activist One dollar!

Our authorities, Government, Police, and Courts have abdicated their collective responsibilities.

And therefore we haved this:-
