I would like to explore the controversy over Australia's national day (26th January), particularly in the Australian state of Victoria and the city of Melbourne, home to the largest number of Greeks anywhere outside Greece and Cyprus, with the possible exception of some concentrations in the United States.
Victoria's state premier is a member of the Socialist Left of the Australian Labor Party, supported by half of the Australian Labor Party membership (and with a Labor government now in office federally in Australia).
In the past the Australian Labor Party's Socialist Left was strongly anti-Israel and anti-Zionist. Nowadays it is aligned with Chinese geopolitical objectives, with virtually all political and social aims apparently removed and the focus exclusively on power-political and capitalist economic considerations.
The national day issue in Australia, and specifically in Victoria, is polarized between supporters of the British (and Australian) monarchy and of the (British) Commonwealth, and opponents - often republicans in the anti-monarchist sense - who characterize Australia's national day as "Invasion Day" because European colonization was achieved through invasion and dispossession (and worse) of the tribal indigenous society.
The polarization is an efficient instrument of "divide-and-rule", supplementing in Australia the global medical dictatorship being imposed globally by the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization.
Would it be possible to float the idea that the accidental coincidence of Australia's national day with the date of the swearing-in of modern Greece's first governor in 1828 and the inauguration of the modern Greek state, not internationally recognized until 1833 when a Bavarian king became available to supervise Greek "independence", could (arguably) provide a symbolism beneficial to both Australians and Greeks, facilitating resistance to international and "globalist" "divide-and-rule" policies causing problems for both Greeks and Australians, and of course not only for them/"us".
This discussion was held recently between English-speakers in Greece and in Australia, www.brighteon.com/12ef35e4-5aee-4e72-8f99-092bf8e395bd
The Australian national day aspect is explored in these links: halva.proboards.com/thread/683/26th-january
All the links from the links are relevant.
The discussion could lead on to consideration of the European integration project and how half-forgotten conceptions of "citizens' Europe" could be facilitated by a revisiting of the history of the Greek Revolution, which embraced not only the present Greek state but also other countries of the Balkans and Eastern Europe, notably Romania.
The thoughts raised in this article are now supported by militant Melbourne activist Monica Smit.
