#5 TOP IA STORY OF 2025: 'March for Australia' is not common patriotism — it’s Nazi-led mobilisation
With Israel calling out everyone but actual Nazis this week over alleged "antisemitism", this August story by IA's fearless anti-fascist Tom Tanuki charts another step by our nation down a dangerous road. ***** The messaging for the viral rally is slippery and vague, but the organisers are just another restructure of the far-right. Tom Tanuki reports.

Constructing a narrative: the CFMEU protest and the far right
The attack by several hundred nominal construction workers against the Melbourne offices of the CFMEU on Monday has generated much discussion. Many asked: ‘Who were these men, and why did they attempt to ransack the headquarters of their own union?’ At first glance, most were angered by a recent Victorian state government announcement that Covid-19 vaccinations would be made mandatory for the construction industry.

The meanings of eco-fascism
The commonalities between contemporary green politics and old-fashioned fascism and Nazism are chilling. (Senator George Brandis, October 28, 2003) When a self-proclaimed ‘eco-fascist’ committed mass murder in Christchurch in March 2019, it drew attention to the influence on the far-right of ecological thought – an ideological tendency most often understood to be of ‘leftist’ derivation.

How do you solve a problem like extremism?
The topic of ‘extremism’ has lately dominated discussions about the global resurgence in far-right political sentiment. The reasons for this are fairly straightforward. For those with a vested interest, evoking the equivocal ‘horseshoe’ theory serves to obscure a primary factor in this resurgence – namely the dynamic relationship between the ‘extreme’ and the ‘mainstream’.

Today is the International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners
It’s been almost ten years since 21-year-old Australian Jock Palfreeman found himself alone one night in Sofia, Bulgaria, confronted by a group of fascist football hooligans he’d witnessed attack two Roma men. In the ensuing altercation Jock was injured and one of the gang, a young man called Andrey Monov, was fatally stabbed.
Why Jock Palfreeman continues to be a very political prisoner
Just a few months ago, it looked extremely unlikely that Jock Palfreeman, the Australian serving a twenty-year sentence for murder in Bulgaria, would ever be paroled. Originally convicted in December 2009 of the murder of law student Andrei Monov (and of the attempted murder of his friend Antoan Zahariev) during a street fight in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia in December 2007, Jock lost appeals against his conviction and sentence in 2010 and again in 2011. Now, in 2019, he’s won his parole.

A rose by any other name: making stuff up about anarchists
Clive Williams’ recent article on the threat anarchists pose to the G20 summit in Brisbane is poorly researched and badly argued. The ‘Black Rose Syndicat’, the anarchist group that Williams believes is a threat to the G20, is a scam. I wrote about this online creation for New Matilda in December – but I was skeptical about its bona fides when I first read about it in May. ‘Black Rose’ is well known as the name of an anarchist infoshop in Sydney that opened in 1982.

TBH, shocking as it is, I'm not that surprised at the #Christchurch massacre, or that the alleged killer livestreamed his assault on @Facebook. There's literally thousands of pages dedicated to spreading murderous Islamophobia on the platform, w an audience of many millions.
Does Your Company Make You a Better Person?
When we hear people talk about struggling to maintain work-life balance, our hearts sink a little. As one executive in a high-performing company we have studied explained, “If work and life are separate things—if work is what keeps you from living—then we’ve got a serious problem.” In our research on what we call Deliberately Developmental Organizations—or “DDOs” for short—we have identified successful organizations that regard this trade-off as a false one.
