I lost any sympathy for SAlt because of their habit of repeatedly turning up to rallies like the Invasion Day march, where the organisers have specifically asked political organisations not to do any campaigning, and using them as an opportunity to flog newspapers and recruit members.
But you know, if being lectured about Trotskyism by a Melbourne Uni student who is larping as a dangerous radical before going off to work for daddy's law firm is your thing, get amongst it.
@arbilp3
This is a little rude to me to be honest.
I'm not a member of SAlt, and just because you don't like them, doesn't mean this is remotely close to the truth: "if being lectured about Trotskyism by a Melbourne Uni student who is larping as a dangerous radical before going off to work for daddy's law firm is your thing"
Yeah that sounds kinda shitty if true, can agree, though I couldn't verify this was specifically asked based on event information posted on various websites by the organisers.
Look, you don't have to like SAlt, but I kinda think it's a bit over the top to extend that dislike to people part of Victorian Socialists simply by association.
@MisterFrog
VicSoc is not SAlt. My criticism is of Socialist Alternative, and if you thought it was directed at you then that's not what I intended.
I'm impressed by how organised and active VicSoc seem to be at the moment. They're running a great campaign in Brunswick, I hope they do well. I'm looking forward to living somewhere where the two party preferred count is between the Greens and VicSoc.
Ah righto, misunderstanding ony part. Appreciate the clarification
