The Socialist Equality Party (Australia) is in the final stages of its campaign to regain official party registration and put a socialist, anti-war party on the ballot at the next Australian federal election. This initiative has won a powerful response, with hundreds of workers and young people signing up and supporting the campaign.
The SEP is required to conduct this fight after anti-democratic legislation was passed in 2021, tripling the membership requirement for party registration to 1,500. This was an attempt by Labor and the Liberal-National Coalition to block workers from accessing a genuine alternative to the increasingly despised two-party system.
In this video, SEP National Secretary Cheryl Crisp explains the urgent need for those watching to sign up as electoral members of the SEP under conditions of the broadening descent of capitalism into world war. This threatens the very existence of mankind as these conflicts deepen between nuclear-armed countries.
The only progressive response is through the unification of the working class internationally against capitalism, the source of war, and for a socialist perspective.
