Living The Dream wth the Communist Party of Australia and Indigenous Struggles during the 1920s and 1930s.

How has Marxist and communist theory traditionally tried to understand this relationship? This episode of Living the Dream from The Word With Struggle Street examines these questions by looking at the Communist Party of Australia in the 1920s and 30s and its relationship, or lack there of, with Indigenous struggles.
