New political group in Oceania
Apr 25 2007
Hi all,
Today we officially launched our political group to coincide with ANZAC Day. Because of our wide geographic distribution we will function primarily as a political group, with the aim of presenting communist perspectives and theory, which are sorely missing in the region. To begin with, we aim to publish a short essay every month, but have started with three online already. Please check our website at:

If I remember rightly, we have members in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth in Australia, and a couple people somewhere in NZ.

I'm being anal Jason, but linking to an external site "As we see it" gets you trapped there. Might be worth telling folks that it was Solidarity's position, and that they're leaving your site or make it obvious by the wording.

Thanks. Will pass on the suggestion.

As the person who put the As We See It text on the af-north site, I wouldn't mind if you simply copied the text onto your own one. It's easy enough to do! And it helps ensure it's available to others.

Done. Now pasted into our site with internal links.

An interesting development! The approach to nationalism in the essays on 'native rights' and ANZAC day looked very solid.
One question, for the moment: You say that "Because of our wide geographic distribution we will function primarily as a political group, with the aim of presenting communist perspectives and theory, which are sorely missing in the region".
Why would it be different if you were not geographically dispersed?

If the new group gets a public E-mail or Snail Mail address let me know otherwise I will find another way to contact you.

It probably wouldn't be much different, but if we were in one area, then there would be the possibility of a group presence at certain actions or demonstrations, etc. This latter possibility currently dose not exist for us. In any event, because of the state of radical politics in the region I personally think that a body putting out consistent communist perspectives and theory is very much needed here.

Yep.
The idea is to make a website as user friendly as possible.
