EUREKA YOUTH LEAGUE
YOUTH SERIES No 1.
THE ROLE OF AN AUSTRALIANIST YOUTH MOVEMENT.
The Eureka Youth League is the vanguard movement for the ideological, political and organisational leadership of Australian Youth.
A key feature of this concept of a 'vanguard' movement consists of committed Activist Members stepping forward to organise, lead, and serve Australian Youth in the struggle to reclaim the resources of Australia as their inheritance, and to ensure identity, freedom and independence, in the face of dispossession and enslavement inherent in the globalist agenda of Big Business.
Activist work is carried out in a way that steadily develops the political consciousness of youth, and an empowerment to understand the whole of society, and ultimately to replace the political traitor class rulers of the system.
To provide the necessary leadership for this to happen, it follows that members must study and really grasp the essence of Australianist ideology and philosophy. It is not enough just to be 'progressive' or even 'militant' without a depth of understanding of Australianist political theory. Depth does not mean theoretical understanding alone, although basic familiarity is essential. It means being able to interpret events from an Australianist standpoint, being able to apply this method of analysis to all sorts of struggles, situations and people. It means finding ways to advance the political awareness of youth. It means finding ways to mobilise youth into activities and actions where they can learn from their own experience the real nature of the struggle.
Knowledge must be connected to practice and this demands study and understanding of the existing conditions. It means every comrade is an active contributor, taking responsibility and being accountable to the collective. Some may have the time, capacity and opportunity to contribute more than others, but all play their part in advancing the Movement Program. In this vanguard movement there are no distinctions between Australian Youth
STYLE OF POLITICAL WORK.
Another key feature of our vanguard movement is the way in which it conducts its political work amongst Australian Youth. The starting point must always be investigation, both academic and practical. In other words, listen, seek the facts - don't just charge in with preconceived ideas.
After investigation, seek out the strengths and weaknesses of the forces involved. Sort out the tactics of struggle most likely to involve the mass of youth or people in struggle, and work to win support for this. At all times, promote unity around the main demands, be where the struggle is hardest, and encourage natural leaders from the ranks.
In the aftermath of struggle, whether successful or not, be there to assist in summing up and drawing out the main lessons from the experience. In this way, comrades can move the level of political consciousness to a higher level. This is the 'mass line' method of political work.
DEMOCRATIC CENTRALISM.
Democratic centralism is also a key feature of our vanguard movement. It is characterised by a high level of self discipline based on an understanding that the role is to advance the well being of Australian youth, and to recognise the importance of the collective, not to seek personal gains. This is fully in accord with our Australian Socialist tradition of co-operative organisation for the common good.
Decision-making is carried out through systems of democratic consultation and democratic voting. Once a decision has been made, there is an obligation on all members to carry it out. Dissenting minority views can be reserved and re-presented on a future occasion, but in the meantime, all members are expected to unite and work to implement democratically agreed decisions.
FORCES OF THE STATE.
Another key feature is the attitude to the forces of the state apparatus. While making use of the limited scope of 'legal democratic rights' to agitate, distribute material, conduct meetings and so on, a vanguard movement also takes into account the surveillance and disruption instigated by the paid agents of the state apparatus. It should never be forgotten that many millions of dollars are pumped into spreading rumours, intercepting mail, telephone, email communications, tracking comrades, friends and acquaintances, to say nothing of outright spying, infiltrating agents and poisoning relationships, as well as blatant bribery and intimidation. Rules for conduct with State Agencies are documented in Youth Series No. 2.
An Australianist vanguard movement guards its members, supporters and mass connections as much as possible. It does not conduct all its business in public scrutiny, understanding that the ruling traitor class is not overt to fascist style repression in defence of its wealth, power and domination of society.
