Talking Reds

We are Communist Unity. We are a pre-party fighting group who are fighting to reforge a communist party in Australia. Drawn from a variety of socialist tendencies and life experiences, we are unified by a common program: for the establishment of a democratic workers republic and the transition to a socialist society.

Talking Reds is a monthly forum held all around the country. This is the only event in Ipswich discussing politics, history, and issues facing contemporary people in the struggle for equality

They also host Proletarian Pub Nights at Banshees at 6pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month.

Join Communist Unity to discuss a section of our political program, the struggle for industrial democracy, and the need for socialism based on workers power!

Almost 35 years ago the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was dissolved — shock therapy, market capitalism and war would wreak havoc upon the republics. What preceded this? Economic destabilisation and the catastrophic rise of Nationalist Populism, which found its prophet in Boris Yeltsin and Democratic Russia alongside various powerful separatist movements. Why did this happen? What can it tell us about our epoch of rising nationalist populism on a global scale?
Florence investigates this under-theorised history in a sober reflection of the USSR’s economic downfall and its subsequent nationalist rise.
