Australia: IYSSE anti-war rally wins support in Newcastle

By our correspondent
18 October 2013

Students enthusiastically applauded speakers at a lively lunchtime rally at the University of Newcastle, north of Sydney, organised by the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) to oppose the US-led preparations for war on Syria.

Groups of students held IYSSE placards declaring, “No War on Syria” and demanding “Close Pine Gap,” the US spy facility in Australia that provides target information for American drone attacks in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen.

The rally was part of an international campaign by the IYSSE and the Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and their sister organisations around the world to mobilise workers, students, youth and workers against the ongoing plans by Washington and its allies for military intervention in Syria and the Middle East.

Addressing the gathering, University of Newcastle IYSSE president Joshua Cromarty explained: “Just weeks ago Washington was preparing to unleash a massive bombardment of Syria using claims for which there was no evidence that the Syrian regime had carried out a chemical weapons attack on civilians in Damascus.”

Cromarty warned that the Obama administration had only temporarily stepped back in the face of popular opposition. “The US has not abandoned its plans for constant intervention into the Middle East until the entire oil-rich and strategic region is firmly under its domination. It is not a question of if American imperialism will seek new pretexts and justifications for war, but only when,” he said.

Cromarty drew out the connection between the US operations in the Middle East and the Obama administration’s strategic “pivot” to Asia aimed at blocking China from emerging as a world political and military rival to the US. He said the “former Labor government of Julia Gillard, backed by the then Liberal opposition and the Greens, signed up for these US preparations for war against China.”

Groups of students and campus workers listened closely, some clapping and cheering. At the end of Cromarty’s address, one student called out “No war on Syria” and another crossed his arms in front of his chest to indicate his agreement with the call.

Terry Cook, an SEP national committee member, spoke next, explaining the connection between the turn to war, and the “war at home by corporate and financial elite in every country to dismantle social conditions and living standards to force the working class to pay the cost of the capitalist crisis.”

He pointed to the ongoing onslaught on social conditions and the living standards of working people being carried out by governments across the world, even as they spent billions on preparations for war. He reported that the SEP in the United States held a demonstration in Detroit attended by over 500 people as part of the fight to mobilise the working class in defence of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).

Cook explained: “As a result of Detroit being declared bankrupt, not only are the pensions and health care benefits of city workers being slashed, the precious art works of the DIA are to be plundered and sold to pay off the banks and bondholders.” As workers’ jobs and social conditions were being destroyed, so was the right of access to art and culture.

Cook emphasised that the drive to war by the US and its allies could not be stopped by appeals to capitalist politicians or to bodies such as the UN. It would only be halted through the independent mobilisation of the international working class on a socialist program to overturn the capitalist private profit system that gave rise to war.

There was more applause throughout Cook’s speech. At the end of the rally, half a dozen students gathered around the campaign table to sign up to join the IYSSE, and several bought copies of Marxist literature. The WSWS spoke to students after the rally.

Lachlan, who is studying communications, said he was walking by and stopped “because the IYSSE speaker was saying a lot of things that just resonated with me and appealed to my left ideals and my opposition to war.”

Lachlan added: “I agree with the speaker that people should not go to war to defend the financial interests of the rich and powerful. The frequency of US wars in the Middle East and the amount of attention they pay to that area means that it all comes down to the US looking to have domination over the resources of the region by knocking countries over.

“In this light I was interested to hear about the US pivot to Asia and its preparations for war against China, and the Australian governments support for this. I knew nothing about this. I did not know that the Gillard government signed up to it.

“It is something like the National Security Agency spying revelations by Edward Snowden. Before he spoke out, we knew nothing about it. Now we know that the Australian government was involved and knew about it. Snowden should be defended because he is a whistle blower and he has let everyone know the extent of the spying operation being carried out on the people.”

Lachlan said: “In official politics, human rights and needs take a back seat to the interests of the wealthy. I think the speakers are right; workers need to get rid of the capitalist system. After coming to the rally I have really been inspired to learn more about the perspective of the IYSSE and how to fight against war and the other imperialist attacks on humanity.”

Overseas student Manan said: “I agree with this rally and I think it is very important. I hope that this reached many people because it is important they hear the position of the IYSSE. I was talking to a number of people at the rally and asked their position on the war in Syria. Everyone I spoke to were very keen on what the speakers had to say. I agree that military action should not be taken against Syria.

“I met one guy who was Kuwaiti and his mother is Syrian and half his family is from Syria. He said he supports the positions put at the rally and opposes military intervention into Syria. He said that he feels that every military force vying for power, including the Assad regime, does not represent the interests of the people.”

Manan said he was shocked by what was happening in Detroit and the selling off of the art works in the Detroit Institute of Arts. “I strongly oppose this sell off. When I first heard about it, I thought ‘is that even legal?’ The art is publicly owned and I assumed that it was for the people of Detroit. How can they sell off paintings that belong to the people of Detroit?”

Boy scouts huh? Should I educate you about civilian casualties as the result of US occupation of Vietnam? Or that does not count in your view?

 

US Imperialist and British as well as French ,is out as well then ,for the Truth never lays ,within Stalinism and Imperialism ,or the UN in other words!

The propaganda schools of historical falsification=Stalinism and Imperialism. There spin departments have been around a while .For example in the Cold War the Lie that Red Army Soldiers ate babies ,was popular!
And as far as Stalinism ,That they represented Socialism .Or that the USSR ,was Socialism .Not to mention ,"Socialism can exist in a single Country " particularly the Most backward Nation in Europe ,Tsarist Russia ,1917.

Ask any Soviet Proletariat about 40 and older, we still exist, as does Socialism in our hearts and minds. The depository of that Historical experience of Masses of Workers, is the 4th International www.wsws.org

Not KGB Stalinist Thug PUTIN!

The party of E-Democracy and all other Forms= Socialist Equality Party [Sri -Lanka,UK.Au,USA, Germany,Canada ]and co-thinkers and supporters and 10 000 voters in the last federal Australian Election ,might not sound much ,but the ALP ,has only a couple '000 true believers left.

Whilst Stalinism ,hides out in the United Nations of Imperialist Interests !

 

Aleppo central prison with 5000 inmates (many al qaeda terrorists and common criminals) has been under siege and assault since early 2013. Al Nusra, FSA and ISIS used suicide bombers to try to breach the prison. They were repelled by huge SAA response and now al-qaeda has evacuated the area around the prison, fearing total defeat. Also there is some huge assault on Aleppo.

Long live Assad.

 

My home city Darayya almost cleansed from al-qaeda terrorists.

 

A large explosion has shaken a suburb of Damascus with a majority Christian population, Syria's state-run news agency has reported.Details are unclear but first reports say there are dead and injured.
Sana news agency said the attack took place at the entrance to the pro-government suburb of Jaramana.

I heard the blast from my room.

Wow, some freedom fighters huh? I am sure they make Obama, CIA and all you terrorist supporters very proud!

 

Did you read what the Saudis said when they rejected a seat on the UN Security Council?

Blaming Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the US and Israel for Syria's troubles is ridiculous... and won't solve anything.. You will likely have reprisals and more civil war.

 

The United States on Friday condemned the Syrian military siege of the eastern suburbs of Damascus which has created food shortages and reports of a humanitarian crisis in the making.

The State Department released a statement demanding that the government headed by President Bashar Assad permit access to aid in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta as well as in Mouadimiya, where reports indicate that children have been dying of malnutrition due to the ongoing civil war.

"The people of Mouadimiya have been without basic necessities for nearly a year, and the regime’s deliberate prevention of the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian supplies to thousands of civilians is unconscionable," the State Department said. "We call on the Syrian regime to immediately approve relief convoys into these areas."

Washington also called on the regime to punish those who have been deliberately denying access to these areas. The American condemnation comes as fighting continues to rage around the country.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There have been 5 suicide bombings in Damascus in past 24 hrs. All of the al-qaeda bombers have come from that Ghouta Region. Syrian Army will not allow any food or water to get there , ever. They send suicide bombers to attack us and then they want food. Let those rats and traitors die of hunger and thirst!!!

 

How is it that Syria has had this mixed population of Muslims, Druze, Christians and Alawites FOREVER ... yet are still so adversarial?

 

Saudi Arabia will burn in hell one day. I would prefer gassing and nuking those wahhabi cockroaches.

- - - Updated - - -

Suicide bombings done by foreign elements of ISIS and Jabhat Al Nusra.

 

Are you typical of Syrians?

How do you feel about Syrian civilians being killed by the Assad government?

 

I feel bad for all civilians that are killed. SAA does not deliberately kill civilians. Al Qaeda and Wahhabis hide among civilians in urban areas and fire on SAA troops. SAA has to fire back and of course innocents will be hurt sometime. That is a whole different story from wahhabis putting on suicide vests and going into civilian neighborhoods, where there are no army bases, and blowing themself up!

How do you feel about Syrian civilians being massacred, raped, tortured by Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, ISIS, Chechen Jihadis?

 

“The manner, the mechanisms of action and double standards existing in the Security Council prevent it from performing its duties and assuming its responsibilities toward preserving international peace and security as required,” the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“Allowing the ruling regime in Syria to kill its people and burn them with chemical weapons in front of the entire world and without any deterrent or punishment is clear proof and evidence of the U.N. Security Council’s inability to perform its duties and shoulder its responsibilities.”

Putting Saudi Arabia on the security council is a joke. That is like putting Nazi Germany as the head of Committe of Jewish Affairs

 

If Assad could LEAD, you wouldn't be having a civil war...

[video=youtube;yL9h9vSOHDk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpag e&v=yL9h9vSOHDk[/video]

Unlike yourself.. I don't want Syrians to be gassed and burned.. and I don't accused all the neighbors.

 

Saudis export jihadis to Syria. They even threaten Russia to use jihadis at the olympics if Russia dont stop support of Syria.

Shoebat? LOLOLOLOL.

Are you serious..

Time to pull up your socks and solve your conflict in Syria without blaming everyone else.

Assad is weak and passive. He can't lead.

[video=youtube;yL9h9vSOHDk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpag e&v=yL9h9vSOHDk[/video]

 

the telegraph and business insider not good enough sources for you either, huh??


Assad is a great leader. People said his collapse was imminent 2 yrs ago. Hes still around. We will all stand with Assad.

 

Read about Shoebat....... He's not someone that any Syrian should allow to influence them.

Do you know what "Swimming for the drain" means?

[video=youtube;yL9h9vSOHDk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpag e&v=yL9h9vSOHDk[/video]

 

You can't argue with those who blame Syria for everything.

Such blame game folks totally ignore the fact that Britain, France, USA, Israelis, Saudis, Qatar, Kuwait and Turks are all supporting terrorists gangs to attack Syria and slaughter the Christians.

There would be no terrorists war against Syria if the USA did not support the terrorist regimes attacking Syria.

Fact is, the USA has adopted the anti-Christ Talmudic Noahide Laws that the terrorists are applying in Syria, and has a commitment to the Israelis and the Saudis to wipe out Christians as it has been doing in Yugoslavia and Iraq, and as it tried to do in South Ossetia and Abkhazia for example.

 

Do you even know what the Noahide laws are???

 

Another massive suicide bombing against Syrian civilians in Hama by Al -Qaeda. 30 dead, hundreds wounded. Obama and Erdogan must be really proud of their freedom fighters.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/21/world/middleeast/syria.html

 

Yes, the Noahide Laws are a Talmudic scam to oppress the human livestock that the superior people consider themselves owning.

 

What's with the labored attempt to try and tie the Talmud to the worst excesses of Islam, Ivan88? Is this just a way of tying tradtional Russian nationalist Jew-hatred to the modern phenomena of Russian nationalist hatred of Muslim black-asses? I guess it makes some sort of sense to put all your nationalist hatreds into one putrid basket, even if you are mixing apples and handgrenades.

Yes, we know the brutal Assad regime is a traditional ally of the brutal Soviet regime and the less brutal but more criminal Putin regime of contemporary Russia, but that doesn't magically make them saints. You are probably correct in saying that the Christians have picked their side and anyone who wants to support them needs to support the Assad regime, but when you say one side is much better than the other you resemble a supporter of a grimy pot calling the kettle black.

 

Marxism is inherently flawed because it abandons the very scientific rationality it begins with. Marx identifies an economic process in history that inevitably generates a small overclass and a very large underclass with very divergent class interests, with the nature of those classes being determined by the means of production. He actually produces a reasonable amount of evidence and theory to support this position.

But having got that far, he then decides on very little evidence and very shaky theory that the current economic relationship will be the last one and that the historical process will somehow end with a proletarian revolution that will usher in an earthly paradise. Surely the rational and scientific conclusion would be that the historical process will continue, and that the march of technology will in the not too distant future create a new means of production that will create a new overclass and a new underclass.

If a Socialist was to admit this basic concept, he or she would see that rather than work for some impossible revolution, their goal should be to advance the interests of the proletariat within the capitalist system (try to minimize the gap between the overclass and the underclass), while trying to figure out what the next economic system will be.
