In Australia the underlying social conditions and the ‘knock me down with a feather’ radicalism of the Greens, plus the numerical weakness of the revolutionary left, and Labor’s capitulation to capital and embrace of neoliberalism, all mean that a resurgent Hansonism (probably without Hanson) is possible.
The best way to ensure that doesn’t happen is to build the social and industrial movements and the revolutionary left and reclaim the traditions of struggle to better the wages and conditions of working people and provide a real alternative to Hansonism.
