Overall I think this is a good description of the worldview that's often called 'Labourism'. People that like the union movement but are very pro capital in most respects.

We do have a posse of genuine egalitarians in the Labor party but its definitely a minority. No idea what Albanese believes as hes an empty suit. Keating and Chalmers are very right wing imo. We could probably debate the toss on others and their motivations.

Thank you for your insightful analysis. It explains why those of us who want progressive policies find the Labor Party so frustrating and disappointing.

Thank you for your analysis. That paradigm of what Labor represents is useful. It is also depressing. As The Juice Media say in their videos, we have a choice of either #@%! or #@%!-lite.

Its not that workers would starve without JS. Australians aren't really cruel enough to tolerate mass avoidable poverty. Compare with the United States which is a harsher society. So somebody getting strangled on the subway is more acceptable to them.
