Pretty solid new advert from VS. I am not sold on the music but it is nice to see a honest political campaign ad for a change.

Working-class people make our society run, and we deserve a future that's better than what's on offer from the major parties and the billionaire-backed 'divide and rule' politics of One Nation.

If we stand together and organise, we can push back the right and build a society where the needs of working-class people and our communities come before the profits of big corporations and the super rich.

This time, vote socialist. Better yet, join us and help us rebuild socialism as a living, breathing, organising and fighting force in Australian political life!

You can find all the information you need on our candidates, policies, upcoming events and volunteering activities on the quick links page of our website: https://www.victoriansocialists.org.a...

Massive shout out to all the Victorian Socialists members and candidates who appeared in this video and to the creative team behind it including directors Murray Enders and Jak Scanlon, and composer Tom Godbert.

I've been so busy I didn't even notice the 2026 Victorian state election approaching at the end of the month.

A few comrades are discussing this ad, and while it does take a workerist perspective, I think that's fine for what it is and it'll probably go down well with the general population as a whole without becoming an issue for those not currently working.

    I hope people who are unemployed don't feel like they are overlooked because of the worker focus.

    The concept, as you are aware, is that the majority of the population are the ones on the ground making it work and trying to make ends meet while a minority accumulate all the wealth. It's not trying to make those who aren't currently employed feel bad about themselves.

    VS, wishing you great success in the elections!!

    There was a segment on ABCTV 7.30 about Northcote and the Left move to claim it. It features both VS and the Greens plus comments from the Labor incumbent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ZnBhA-HHI&t=301s. I'll put it up in a separate post as well.
