If you want to do your part to stop #Fascism in its tracks the follow Yanis Varoufakis’ advice and #ActLocally and not only shun any right-wing political party but abandon tthe two ‘majors’ as well.

Importantly, so has the party which traditionally represented the workers of this nation. As Varoufakis said recently:

“The ALP has lost its soul. It will never find it again. Support the Greens. Create a new party. This is what we did in Greece.”
