Socialist Alternative is a revolutionary socialist organisation in Australia, identifying with Trotskyism and the Marxist tradition of "Socialism from below". Founded in 1995 with the headquarters base in Victorian Trades hall, Melbourne, Australia. They produces 2 newspaper, Red Flag and Marxist Left Review.
The picture below is shows the activity of Socialist Alternative Organisation volunteer try to attract pedestrian in Swanston Street near Melbourne Central to join the rally on 7pm night yesterday. The volunteer looks busy stand up and give a brochure and sell a Red Flag Newspaper as well.
This is the picture of their sign, Abbot with prohibited sign. I try to ask to them "What this rally about?" They explain to me like "We want to against Abbot new policy to cut budget welfare, health, and education." They are not satisfied with that policy because they know that government will raise the fees for school, decrease a health quality, and give pension to people that 70 years old which is make them not happy and comfortable.
One of the controversial merchandise from them "Fuck Tony Abbot". I think it's one think that i don't like with this organisation. They just can't appreciate what Tony Abbot do for Australia. Why people still want to choose Abbot then?
The organisation success attract a couple to fill the petition to against the Abbot. He looks very enthusiast because more people want to sign the petition which is a support for them.
