Recently it's come to our attention that the ADL (while claiming not to be the ADL) is
going to *try* and hold a national day of protest. ---- "On Saturday April 4 around the
country ordinary, fair dinkum Australians will be standing up to say no more to those who
would knock our beautiful country." - Fascist Fuckstick. ---- The aim for this event, as
the national Facebook page states is fairly simplistic; ---- "Reclaim Australia Rally -
Australia wide! We as patriotic australians need to stand together & stop the minorities
changing our country!" ---- It is expected that various Neo-Nazi scum will be attending,
so it's only fair we give them the welcome they deserve. ---- The AFN/UAFV will be
countering this "protest". ---- Join us on the 4th of April, 10AM, at the Shrine of
Remembrance in Melbourne. ---- Stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers of all
minorities and cultures. More updates coming.
ANTIFA forever!
Info Update 1:
Due to security reasons a meeting place and time will not be posted until early the
morning of the action. If you wish to get more information or become involved in putting
this together send us an email at: ausfreenet@unseen.is
On another note, we've noticed plenty of other groups springing up that are planning
counter-protests as well. Remember to always be careful with your personal information and
online identity. On the day we're all in it together anyway, so don't stress about
clicking "attending" on a Facebook group.

How Might We Free Ourselves and What Does Freedom Mean? -Part 1-
Posted on December 16, 2014 by AusFreeNet
This is going to be a long article that may have to come in several parts, so brace yourself!
Written By J
Introduction
In any revolutionary movement, at all points in its course (successful or not), there are
two overriding questions that divide, unify and perplex us:
How might we free ourselves, and stemming from that; what does freedom mean?
There are differences in opinion and tactics on both questions, and many believe that they
have already been answered in full. It is my belief that they have, indeed, been answered,
though in many parts by many different people. Bringing together all I know from different
sources and viewpoints, I will attempt to put together a little of this jigsaw myself,
although I may not complete it all. There is every chance it will take me far longer than
I originally anticipated.
What Does Freedom Mean?
Before we get into specifics and theories about achieving freedom we first have to decide
on a definition (however fluid) we can work with and hold as a goal.
The most important property of freedom should always be its universality, that is, that it
applies equally to all at all times. Without this property it cannot truly be considered
freedom, as it's exclusivity would mean there would be people without freedom and thus it
would perpetuate the existence of the unfree and not be freedom at all, but instead privilege.
There are three elements of freedom which are pretty self-explanatory but on which I'll go
into further detail later on:
- Equality
- Self-determination
- Safety
Why only three? Because I don't want to "over classify" the subject and render the
discussion unclear. Also, they are simple and cover most, if not all, cases.
Equality
Fairly simple; everyone is equal, from the youngest child born last second to the oldest
human alive. That means hierarchical systems violate this. Debt violates this. Currency
also violates this, as it can be accrued and as it is not a certain good and can instead
be used to buy resources, those with more money have more power. If you can think of
something that places one person in a position of power over another without conscious
choice then it violates the element. Before people get mad and say "What about parenting!
What about teachers! What about the army! etc." I want to point out that if you hold a
position of power over someone and they resent it, it's probably time to let go of that
power. By the time your child or pupil starts to resent your power over them, it's
probably time to start empowering them and treating them as more of your equal based on
the responsibility they are willing to take. In the army it's different and, yes, it's
wrong. No person should hold so much authority over another that they can force them into
a situation that would lead them to their deaths. If the world's armies were less (or not
at all) hierarchical then we would see far fewer deaths in the field. Perhaps if soldiers
had a role in choosing certain strategic moves or even whether to engage at all we would
see an end to most conflicts. I don't know the answer and therefore cannot give it, but I
can speculate.
Patriarchy is a huge violation of this element, as is organised religion (note the use of
the words "organised religion" and not "faith"). For different reasons they render those
within the system they control totally unequal and are abhorrent.
Self-Determination
noun
1. determination by oneself or itself, without outside influence.
2. freedom to live as one chooses, or to act or decide without consulting another or others.
3. the determining by the people of the form their government shall have, without
reference to the wishes of any other nation, especially by people of a territory or former
colony.
Without self-determination freedom cannot exist. The freedom to choose for oneself is one
of the most potent elements of freedom and no society can claim to be fair and just
without it. However, self-determination should not violate the freedoms of others, as that
would violate the equality element.
Safety
Very simple, yet very important. Safety includes physical, mental and emotional safety.
Safety means access to adequate resources, adequate shelter and a means of survival.
Without the safety element a society would fall apart into a violent and desperate system,
a true Darwinist ecosystem.
These elements tie together and interweave to create a robust definition of freedom.
Violation of any of them means violation of freedom. By this we can measure systems,
actions and decisions and many other things to determine if they are "free".
