I see Foxy promoting reading the Marxist view of History found in the library written by those with a socialist axe to grind. Their passionate view of history from their perspective does not give true balance to the facts but identifies isolated events and pushes them as mainstream. For those of us who have lived among aboriginals we know the differences. The ABC and SBS are stirrers of Marxist ideology creating conflict.

Despite all the lunacy of arrogant, rotten demonstrators and traitors yesterday, Australia Day will not be changed. Albanese and Chalmers have both said so. The horrible protesters are too much, even for them.

Now is the time to have the date enshrined in law - because we cannot necessarily take notice of what politicians say.

Josephus,

As I told you on another discussion - Karl Marx
doesn't do it for me. I prefer reading the works
of people like Robert Conquest, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,
Arnold Joseph Toynbee (I have his 12 volume study of
history). Then there's Thomas Keneally - I like his wide
range of material. He's written extensively from
Australia's past. I like his humanistic point of view, his
eye for accuracy, and his knack of engaging storytelling.

Ever read anything by Mary Durack?

So much to choose from in our choices of reading.

You shouldn't limit yourself to just one track.
Broadening your horizons may make life more interesting.

Worth a try.

You're welcome.

Good discussion. I had a few chuckles. Kudos.

Josephus,

If you speak against the accepted political religion, the hard Left  uses  communist-era tactics against you. They will deconstruct your character.  

People who deliberately try to deconstruct the characters
of others by false assumptions and accusations have
insecurity issues or they just want a fight and an
argument which they've grown up with and been taught to
do since childhood.

They can't comprehend well intentioned advice, information,
and facts that go against their personal ideologies.
It's the old "pub mentality," they grew up with. So
outmoded and a relic of colonialism.

Anybody watch the Sydney Australia Day celebrations
on television last night on the ABC? A magnificent event
and very warming to see. A true coming together of diversity
and a marvellous step in the right direction for our
celebration of what Australia is today.

Sydney did a brilliant job!
