The Party Line Podcast

About The Party Line Podcast

This is a podcast by members of the Socialist Party in Naarm (Melbourne). We hope to bring a radical perspective to a podcast landscape dominated by insipid liberalism (looking at you, The Daily). The pod will come out weekly, and aims to breakdown news and current events from a socialist point of view. While a lot of what’s going on in the world is fairly bleak, The Party Line will try and highlight voices of resistance and struggle. If you like what you hear, please subscribe on whatever podcast service you use, and share it with your friends, colleagues and comrades. We will always release our shows for free, to make sure everyone who wants to listen can do so. But if you are in a position to support us financially then sign up at patreon.com/thepartyline (http://patreon.com/thepartyline). If you find yourself agreeing with the pod more often than not, please consider signing up to join your local branch of the Socialist Party at socialists.org.au (http://socialists.org.au). We need your help to build a fighting socialist movement in this country, one that can take on both the far right and its centrist enablers such as Albanese.

And this is very popular for other parts of the population. At first, it's also starting to be a movement in the universities across the country. Actually, there is like around 40 universities that are also joining the movement with the same objectives, to ask for more resources, to ask that the money has to be for the youth and not for the army or the police, to ask for the end of selection after high school, because not everyone can go to the university because there is a social selection after high school which is very criticized right now and it's been one week since we had a massive march across the country with hundreds of thousands like no yes It's hundreds of thousands, like 400,000 people marched in the streets last Tuesday.
