Socialism in Australia

Socialism in Australia dates back at least as far as the late-19th century.[1] Notions of socialism in Australia have taken many different forms including utopian nationalism in the style of Edward Bellamy, the democratic socialist reformist electoral project of the early Australian Labor Party (ALP), and the revolutionary Marxism of parties such as the Communist Party of Australia.[2]

Current socialists in federal parliament include Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather.[3][4]
