Calls For Australia To Become A Republic Grows As Morrison Scandal Expands

Thats one interpretation but they aren't communists.


It’s just what it is even if people deny it, the communist bar just keeps getting moved.



There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

Communism really doesn't mean what you think it does. You are the one who has been moving the bar and distorting the word communism. I am staunchly opposed to the Heritage Foundation and what they advocate for. However even they acknowledge that New Zealand is capitalist.

New Zealand’s economic freedom score is 80.6, making its economy the 4th freest in the 2022 Index. New Zealand is ranked 2nd among 39 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is above the regional and world averages.

It means exactly what I said it means, now if you enjoy living under that kind of boot on your neck rule enjoy! But in terms of how you do business your capitalist but so is China soooooooooooo! Not a good way to prove a country ain’t going full commie.

No, more like an honest assessment of what a government/country look like and not a preconceived notion.

No preconceived notion it’s how they have literally acted. True democracy’s don’t round up a Minority people that have suffered and force them under the power of a gun to take a experimental drug. They are fucking commies and none the crap to make excuses for it changes who and what they have become. Hello they became commie bastards in the 90s when they forced the citizens to give up their guns. Now concentration camps no problem. Someone sneezes in a elevator they hunt down that person like he was a mass shooter. It’s sick what so many governments have become and it’s sicker seeing the excuses for it from people.

The most glaring problem with this is that communism is based on the understanding that it is the material conditions, primarily the means of production, which determines the social relations and shape of society. Full commie would mean we do not have any capitalism. Not only do we still have capitalism but it is the dominant system. Our politics are subordinated by the dictates of capitalism. It is to the point that all our political parties operate under neo-liberal reasoning.

And yet China uses capitalism but yet is a communist country. Are you and other countries this bad? No! Are they steadily heading that way? Absolutely!
 
If Australia was to become a republic in the short to midterm it would be really interesting to see what implications that would have for us here in New Zealand.

As for the scandal itself, that is absolutely unprecedented. I am incredibly shocked that it happened and he got away with it for so long. It totally undermines the whole principle of political accountability.
They had concentration camps because leftist communists are in charge. A republic and a better constitution is what is needed. Short of revolution it won’t happen. But wait! Those same commies disarmed the people so the government doesn’t fear or respect it’s citizens.
Serafin, Scarlet's right; how did we get from a scandal involving Scott Morrison's time as Australian PM to one about communism?
 
Yes I'm all for being a Republic as it's long overdue I have no respect for Charlie nor that skanky basset hound who did the dirty on Diana
 
Maybe if they went republic they could make sure they didn’t round up people into concentration camps again or regain some lost rights.
 
Would you've preferred everyone suffer instead?

Since governments are admitting now lockdowns we’re a mistake, tens of thousands are dying from the vaccine and governments are reversing recommendations of this vaccine for people. And pretty much nothing more worse than locking up innocent people. So yes!

If our elected officials could only remember that thought and not pander to the Abbott-DeSantis perspective on public health....
