Abstract

The achievements and failures of Australian communists in the trade union movement in the post-war years have some significant lessons for revolutionaries concerned about a viable strategy for social change. The trade union movement is one area above all where communist policies and methods have been tested in practice over many years and on a mass scale. It is also the area where current policies will be tested and judged.
