The simple fact is that it is not enough to “punish Labor” in the coming elections. The real challenge is to build a political alternative to Labor that will act for the majority, not slavishly serve the billionaire class.

However, simply voting socialist and Greens is not enough.

The type of working-class political alternative we need must be able to help build the movements in our communities, campuses and workplaces. It has to be campaigning every day for progressive change, not just at elections.

This is the key, we've got to build the grass-roots power of unions and activist groups. It's extremely hard, though, to convince people to do anything other than vote.
