Every day, my Inbox is flooded with messages similar to Kevin's article. Increasing worry about policy directions of the Gillard regime has Australians taking unprecedented interest in politics, especially as we are in an election year.They are indeed concerned. GC.Ed.
Though a communist, Gillard holds a lot of stock in materialism. She believes that the major force in world affairs is production: the making and accumulation of ‘stuff’. Workers hired to produce the goods that make the world go round feel no great pride in their labours. This only leads to alienation, unrest, and ultimately, revolution.
In Ms Gillard’s world view, the majority of people toiled with little reward while the upper classes reaped the fruits of their labour. She saw an inherent inequality in capitalism. Ms Gillard believed that situation could not go on forever, and it would eventually reach critical mass and result in a revolution of the working classes against their capitalist masters. She believed the results of such rebellion would lead to a paradisaical communist form of government with freedom for all.
Ms Gillard cares not about facts that the communist governments that emerged in the twentieth century have been among the most cruel dictatorships and wanton human rights violators the world has ever known. The injustices of this age are real and need repair, but the legacy she is bequeathing to the 21st century brings only more terror and totalitarianism into the world.
