Download or read book Australia's First Fabians written by Race Mathews and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of Australia's first Fabians are known as legislators, priests, jurists, men and women of letters, diplomats, feminists and educators, yet few are recognised as Fabians. Until this book, little attention has been given to Australian Fabian thinkers, activists and organisations, and their long-term influence on Australian political and intellectual life. This book recreates the lives of the first Fabians in Australia, their political ideas and strategies, and presents their visions for society in a lively and entertaining way. It also explores the similarities between the Fabian Society's development in Britain and Australia. The book will fill a long-standing gap in Australian intellectual history and the history of early socialist movements in Australia.

Book excerpt: For many Australian working men and women in the closing days of the nineteenth century, SOCIALISM IN OUR TIME was no mere slogan. The deepening economic depression cut living standards, increased class conflict and tested the newborn trade unions to breaking point. In this climate, the message of socialist agitators made sense of the experience of the most vulnerable: capitalism was doomed, socialism was not only inevitable, it was imminent. This is the story of a crucial time in the political history of Australia, told from the perspective of the agitators and their followers. By uncovering, state by state, the hitherto ignored faith and work of the 'tribunes of the people' and the organisations created by their working-class supporters, In Our Time challenges the accepted versions of the social and political ferment which gave rise to the labour movement and its parliamentary expression, the Labor parties.

Download or read book The Australia First Movement written by Barbara Winter and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Australia First’ is a good slogan that has been adopted by several quite different political ideologies. This book deals with the movement that began in a small way before 1914, developed slowly from about 1936, and came to an abrupt and inglorious end in March 1942. It grew out of the Victorian Socialist Party and the Rationalist Association At first it attracted literary figures such as Xavier Herbert, Eleanor Dark, Miles Franklin. When it became heavily political, there were among its members and associates three former Communist Party members and one Nazi Party member; some worked for the Labor Party, some for the United Australia Party (later Liberal Party), while there were strong links with the Social Credit Party. One was a paid agent of the Japanese. Some were connected with Theosophy, some with Odinism, and in Victoria most were Irish Catholics with links to Archbishop Mannix and Sinn Fein.

Download or read book Marxism & Australian Socialism Before the Bolshevik Revolution written by David W. Lovell and published by Australian Scholary Publishing. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the experience of pre-Revolution socialism half a world away from its origins and before the pressures of a Soviet, socialist orthodoxy. It focuses on a time when Marx was respected, not worshipped. It was also a time when socialisms were coloured by indigenous political and social traditions - when the Eureka Rebellion on the goldfields of Ballarat and early voting rights for Australian women made international headlines. This book examines how Marx's ideas arrived in Australia, often via other, more accessible proponents of socialism such as textile designer William Morris. It also considers the wide variety of contemporary responses to the socialist doctrine from both its supporters - including utopianist William Lane, activist Tom Mann, reformist J.C. Watson and the anarchists of the IWW - as well as its detractors. Among the latter were middle-class Fabians Sidney and Beatrice Webb, who disparaged the rough-and-readiness of the antipodean comrades. Historian W.K. Hancock went so far as to declare Australian socialism as 'fraudulent'. Yet political historian Dr. David Lovell makes the case that if Australia was not a 'workingman's paradise', it was certainly more than 'just another capitalist country'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australian Socialism: An Historical Sketch of Its Origin and Developments The Imperial Parliament will no doubt be called upon soon to initiate some of the legislation which has been enacted in Australia for the purpose of promo ting or controlling industries. This work shows that neither our Parliaments nor any other Parliament has sufficient data yet to determine clearly whether or not this legislation has benefited or injured the worker. It must be borne in mind that the regulation of factories and shops is a branch of legislation entirely distinct from the economic issues involved in the control or State regulation of industries. The former, including the suppression of sweating, is solely humani tarian; the latter is solely economic, and sooner or later must conform to the law of supply and demand, and the economic limitations of a country's resources.

One was a paid agent of the Japanese. Some were connected with Theosophy, some with Odinism, and in Victoria most were Irish Catholics with links to Archbishop Mannix and Sein Fein. Among their close friends were John Curtin, Dr Evatt, Arthur Calwell, Jack Beasley, Robert Menzies, Percy Spender, Archie Cameron. Several had contacts with Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, and with the Imperial League of Fascists and National Socialists. One had met Hitler and corresponded with General Ludendorff. Two composed and circulated anonymous subversive pamphlets. Others imported Nazi propaganda, one even during the war through the German Consulate-General in New York. At its core was a coterie of elderly men with too much time, too much money, and little common sense. 'Inky' Stephensen was the public face of the AFM and was responsible for the crude and vulgar style of its monthly magazine, the Publicist. But behind it all was Billy Miles, a cynical, arrogant manipulator, who turned it into a vehicle for anti-Semitic propaganda. He who wrote: 'What is the solution to the Jewish question? There can be none while a Jew lives.'Its downfall was precipitated less by its fascist and Nazi tendencies than by its close association with the Japanese. In the end, the internment of AFM adherents was used by both Labor and Liberal politicians as a stick with which to beat each other, until the wrongs and rights of the affair became buried under political abuse.
