Ask why Australians can’t say the phrase “from the river to the sea” in Queensland without going to jail? How free are you when you’re under a dictatorship of capital? Why is homelessness growing in Australia? Why are the working-class increasingly turning to charities for food? What freedom is there in the systematically enforced poverty of capitalism. Australia signed an agreement with the UN and other nations: housing is a human right. Why is our homeless population increasing year after year? Why are workers spending the majority of their wages on rent?

Capitalists will press the point of freedom of speech under capitalism precisely because capitalism is a complete, systemic dictatorship of labour by capital. You can say what you like, but you still have to purchase food and housing with capital. Words won’t feed you. Words won’t house you. Words won’t warm you. Words are worthless because they’re free and the capitalist will give you all the words you want. For the most part. In Queensland, Australia some words will provide you with state-housing and -food.

The state of Israel is committing genocide and Australia is a country that provides material support. The governing bodies are complicit.
