An article, 'Albanese is okay with communists' by David Flint, suggests that the decision to insist on Covid testing for Chinese arriving in the West indicates that Western politicians might have rethought their "naive" attitude to Beijing - which saw them treating the communist dictatorship as though it was "just another normal law-abiding government"; they have been regarding communist leaders, including "including mass-murderer Mao" with respect and even awe, on occasion.

However, Flint also suggests that Albanese seems to have decided to "curry favour" with the communists, boasting that Australia is talking with them again, and that his government is undoing much of the damage done by the previous government!

Damage? I thought that the previously government, even the the Turnbull- led phase, was doing its best to protect us from being damaged by the CCP. The "damage" being partly the call for an enquiry into China’s role in the Covid spread, and the complaints about China’s illegal trade boycotts against us.

Flint also describes Albanese's lining up to shake the "dictator's" hand at the G20 as making us look like "a Chinese satellite", and how elated Albanese was that Wong was to "be allowed" to go to Beijing to pay her respects to "one of the regime’s apparatchiks".

Referring to not just Australia, but the rest of the West, Professor Flint opines that we have learnt nothing from Neville Chamberlain, who at least realised his mistake in time. It's not just Albanese trying to treat the CCP dictatorship as a "normal government".

Thanks to the big business class and the political class, we are now dependent on communists for much of what we need in our daily lives. We used to do very well without China. Now, thanks to the greedy corporates and the puppet politicians, Beijing communists have a "stranglehold" on us that has been coming since Whitlam. Now we have one of Whitlam's most ardent admirers in charge.

Connected to the the march of communism (call it by the less scary name of socialism, as the the actual communists do, if you must), is a speech at Oxford University by Peter Hitchens, which included the belief that "conservatism is dead in Western society", and that the Left "has succeeded in conducting a Marxist revolution that began 60 years ago"; and most people haven't noticed it.

Everything 'appears' to be OK to most people; things look the same. And people prefer the "appearance to the reality".

Hitchens was talking about the UK, but the same applies here and throughout the. West - particularly the Anglosphere, which should be our main concern.

What is really going on in Australia, courtesy of our hard-Left Prime Minister, also appears to be going unnoticed.

ttbn,

No one seems much interested.

This looks like a beat-up by good old Professor Nincompoop, the Chinese are not big on curry, so not much track there. Just on Nev, and his 'Peace for our Times' declaration in 1938. some think Nev was trying to buy time for Britain, as they were hopelessly ill-prepared for war with Nazi Germany, that became obvious in 1939/40 as Germany steamrolled Europe. We'll never know.

Maybe Albo is trying to buy time, a lot of time, until our nuk subs arrive in 30 years time.

Of course there is no interest. That's the point. That's why we are where we are, and where we are going.

I leave a message; express an opinion. That's my contribution. I feel that I have done my bit.

If posters here are not interested, that's not my problem: it's theirs. I'm prepared. They are not.

And, as I've said before, there are people out in the real word who take note, but who choose not to engage with people like you online.

Government subsidies and meddling in the commercial sector is the direct cause of Australia's energy crisis, allowing unreliable and expensive products to replace cheap, reliable ones. It is in direct contravention of the market and private enterprise, the basis of our system. It's just what Marxists long for .
Albanese's imposition of gas and coal price controls. Subsidies to renewables rent seekers. All Communistic.

Now he's slinging $70 million to a private hydrogen project in Queensland.

ttbn,

"And, as I've said before, there are people out in the real word who take note, but who choose not to engage with people like you online."

And how would you know? Are they members of your local "group"?
