Re: [Marxism] Behind the "Aussies" race riot.

["Calvin Broadbent" <calvinbroadbent@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's funny. The Lebanese are 'presumably working class', whilst the
Australians probably 'are also'. As if the conditions faced by Lebanese
immigrants have anything in common with rich Australian beach dwellers, who
are clearly quite comfortable with everything their government reports with
regard to 'abos', and their efforts to rid the world of evil ones. Even the
dogs in the street know that Australia was and is a settler state which
benefits hugely from parasitical imperialism. Certainly the white Australian
working class know it. That's why they try and beat blacks down wherever
they raise their head.




TOM O'LINCOLN WROTE:

Is there any kind of class profile to all this? Presumably the Lebanese
kids are working class, but it could well be the white kids are also.

What about the story the media is telling us about how the Cronulla area is
90% white and old-fashioned? And therefore feels "invaded".

How do these events fit the earlier pattern of riots by white youth, as in
Macquarie Fields. For that matter, what about Redfern? Riots seem to be a
lot more common in Sydney than other Australian cities? Does this say
something about working class social conditions, or about the cops, or
what.
