    I’ll be voting for whoever seems the most communist. Which is of course literally none of them. Even on the left-wing ones are just centrists.

    Some electorates have Socialist Alliance (explicitly democratic socialists, not to be confused with capitalist social democrats like typical Greens), VicSoc (the major sub-party is SAlt, a “revolutionary” communist organisation despite their electoralism), and some independents and Greens are open communists.

    Know your candidates if you want to vote for anti-capitalists. If you’re unlucky you might have to settle for the Senate only, but you should still push as “left” as possible in the House of Reps even if they aren’t anti-capitalist.
