The Glossary Of Marxist Terms
Published in 1946, L. Harry Gould, having been frustrated with contemporary dictionaries and their obvious bias and play with definitions, compiled a Marxist Glossary to clearly define terms and their meanings for Marxist Leninists. A great document to use when in doubt of definitions while reading!
Labor Betrayed
This booklet from 1946 reminds workers of the rotten history of collaboration of the ALP in anti-worker attacks on the Australian Communist Party. The nature of World War 2 and the behaviour of the ALP and the similarities with the conditions in Germany at the time. It also sets out immediate demands for the post-war period that were at odds with the pro-capitalist plans of the ALP.
Communists Tell How To Build Houses - Fast!
After WW2, Australia faced a severe housing shortage. Australia was 400,000 houses short, with 60,000 new homes required yearly to replace those that become obsolete. Post-war privatisation and the prioritising of housing-for-profit stood in the way of the bright future men and women had signed up for. This booklet sets out the ACP’s demands for a short-term fix to these woes.
The Gas Monopoly
Written in 1946, “The Gas Monopoly” provides a strong argument against the privatisation of essential needs for the community. Published by the Victorian State Committee, the publication makes a strong argument for nationalisation of industry and the benefits of it.
