By Peter West, published 16/6/2010

Most white people don't really understand what it means to be black or what it means to be ridiculed, victimised or humiliated.

Thanks, CJ: Blue Mink - I'm happy to stand corrected :)

Yeah, don't you wish you could come back in a hundred years ?

Hi Snag,

Well, the Communist church is an incredibly broad and fractious one: at every critical time, 1848, 1871, 1903, 1905, 1917, etc., etc., it has split off into factions. Not to mention the gulags, Czechoslovakia, the Khmer Rouge, on and on. I don't think there has been a single genuinely Communist government in the world for some decades, if ever. But that's just MY particular factional slant on things :)

Mother Teresa is supposed to have lost her belief in a caring god some sixty years ago, and yet she kept working as if he/she still existed and I empathise with her: as a sort of Grandfather's Axe Marxist, I keep trying to do what I think is best, according to my own lights, even though I struggle to positively evaluate Marx's hypotheses, or what's left of them. His universalism, for one thing, and his obvious concern for the down-trodden, for another. But his followers have not made it easy.

But to get back to the topic, it has to be said that from the thirties to the sixties, many communists in Australia were in the forefront of support for the equal rights of Aboriginal people. Some went off the rails in calling for separate republics (a long-standing right-wing initiative) but most saw the place for Indigenous people as being alongside, not away from or underneath, other Australians. And I'll stick up for that any day.

Joe
