I'm in my mid 50's, based in Sydney and working with the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union. I am a person of the marxist left, but definitely not of the stalinist variety. Therefore I stand up for the idea that we can build a much better society than the advanced, capitalist one we have now, that we have not reached the end of possibilities for human society and all life on this planet. I live with my partner and from time to time with her 2 children. I have one grown up son and love connecting with him whenever possible.
