“The socialists have become the capitalists.” Orwell said in “Animal farm” four legs good, two legs bad” then the pigs (Marxists) began walking on their hind legs & playing poker with the farmers in secret. One form of “socialism” you haven’t mentioned is “Fabian Socialism” (Orwell again 1984 a novel) a quick search of Australian politicians who were/are Fabian’s is compelling. Politics is not about parties as much as it is about factions. If you want to see our future look at Europe right now.

Are we in danger? Yes.

Do Australians want this? NO.

The LNP was on track to winning a crushing victory; their polling improved after Trump won in November; and they blew it all away by trying to outspend Labor.

Once the threat of a minority Labor govt arose, controlled by the Greens, Aussies handed Labor an increased majority to prevent this.

It was the least worst option available.
