Retired old Democratic Socialist

Call me Comrade

Ex farm worker, layabout, fisherman, scientist, geospatial consultant, company owner, CIO,CTO, cleaner

It was better to be 20 in the 70's than 70 in the 20's

Rich Countries Shouldn't have poor people
Hypocrisy and the Modern @australianlabor.bsky.social are synonymous these days

They live for #CorporateService

We need a little focused democratic socialist party like the constitution of this one-

Imagine if policy started with generosity, compassion and love and a promise of a home and a job that pays a living wage

We can set the rules and then make business work those rules

We do need #radical change

Eg: 237 yrs after Transportation started, tough on crime policy still failing

Multinationals and Neoliberals need to gouge the poor so they can pamper the obscenely wealthy even more

Poor people don't cause inflation
People with too much money in their pockets do

Yes, Mr Atlee nailed it

Oligarchic feudalism - control knowledge, control funds, control society (that thing that doesn't exist)

Welcome to a New Age where governments are a curiosity for the Modern Patrician Class to toy with

Every billionaire is a policy failure

@senatorwong.bsky.social is one of the greatest political disappointments in my short 70 yrs

We thought we knew this person, but behaviour apparently before the election is no indication of what they'll morph into once in office

That will help
But the responsibility always sits on the lap of voters

I agree with Jefferson - you deserve the government you elect

There will be no improvement until the general public starts to actually think and get involved in their own future

Robot voting maintains the duopoly dominance

So short sighted and based on bullshit debt/deficit and "taxpayers money" falsehoods

We live in a Fiat currency economy for fucksake

@albomp.bsky.social deserves to lose this with his 2 faced approach to climate change
November 19, 2025 at 10:10 AM
Hearing a leader of @australianlabor.bsky.social telling anyone to cut public health spending is unfathomable

@albomp.bsky.social is leading a hard core corporatist Neoliberal right wing party with nothing in common with Gough Whitlam's party

You left over out

This guy introduced Neoliberalism to Oz

Hey
Fuck you too
I voted for her and she is a sitting senator. You're just a loudmouth nong

Neoliberalism from both Parties
Dawkins could have reinstated free tertiary education but refused to because he was an arsehole

Thanks to @australianlabor.bsky.social and LNP and their hatred of real conservation, we've effectively killed the Reef and the Murray, while consigning Koalas and thousands of other native species to extinction

For pathetic human greed and a few shekels

Hard to know if some boards know what their real job is

These are modern courtesans play to and for would be rulers

The Patricians have returned with the 2nd Gilded Age - new technology, new fascism

Neoliberalism is driving us to serfdom

Hayek was wrong

His road leads to serfdom

Do All?

Knowledge of magnetism dates back to 600 BC-ish I think

I think this sums it

When complaining about "the gubbermant" most ignore the basis facts of democracy

Jefferson was right

As a country we need to take a good hard look at ourselves

We're simply not much good at choices

We're in a Gilded Age and the mob seem happy with that

Maybe feudalism is our natural state

There's very little Liberalism in him

John Stuart Mill summed him up

He's a hard core conservative (Tory), the opposite of Liberal

What part of "No More" do they not understand?
November 7, 2025 at 12:10 AM
That's true but, I would like to see this on Australian soil
November 6, 2025 at 1:34 AM
But no actions against the only "democracy" engaged in genocide

@senatorwong.bsky.social is unspeakably disappointing

Her adoption of the Arrogance of Office was swift and comprehensive

And it's shockingly transparent

She's a tedious plodder with a big head these days with no compassion left

What a lot of rot

You're in government. You could solve poverty tomorrow if you actually wanted to

You're the worst disappointment I've seen since Hawke sold us out to Neoliberalism

You're as straight as a dog's hind leg
November 4, 2025 at 9:11 PM
Rich countries should not have poor people

It's that simple
November 2, 2025 at 7:15 AM
@senatorwong.bsky.social is the personification of disappointment
