Capitalism: Autralian car makers are true patriots
  • All car manufacturers are closing plants and leaving Australia.

    It's official. Australia's first major car maker, Ford, has shut down its factories in Melbourne and Geelong, leaving 600 workers unemployed and likely to trigger thousands more redundancies across the economy.

    The last 10 cars to roll off the assembly line on Friday morning mark the long-awaited end of the company's 91 years of manufacturing cars in Australia.

    Holden also edged closer to its exit from local car-making, with Friday marking the end of production of the Cruze model at its plant in Adelaide. The move has led to about 270 redundancies at Holden.

    Toyota announced the closure of its Altona plant. The company has been making cars in Australia since 1963. Toyota’s move follows the decisions of Ford and Holden to quit manufacturing in Australia by 2016 and 2017 respectively.

    Remember - capitalists are patriots until it is good for their profits, as soon as they can get 5% more profits they will close and sell everything and move along. They do not care for you as worker or your neighborhood, same as helminthes do not care about owner.

  • Quote to anyone counting on patriots among bourgeoisie :

    When their class profits are at stake, the bourgeoisie will sell their country and strike a bargain with any foreigner against their own people. This truth has time and again been borne out by the history ... hundred years had shown that that is the law of the class interests, of the class policy of the bourgeoisie, at all times and in all countries.

  • Lenin is right. All of them will sell you in first opportunity.

  • All major car manufacturers in Australia are foreign companies, so yes, they are true patriots! It's fairly obvious that there is no true patriotism in the global business world. I'm not very impressed with Lenin's ideas or practices either. I'll take Capitalism over Despotism every time.

    You mean that all of them had been secretly owned by China and Mexica for all this years? As it is where they move stuff. LOL.

    Something tells me that your knowledge about socialism is restricted to few things written by capitalists and their servants.

    Some of Lenin ideas critics remind me about this:

  • Ford = USA, General Motors = USA, Toyota = Japan, Mitsubishi = Japan. ALL Australian car manufacturers are foreign owned companies. Your comments on patriotism in this regard are inappropriate as no multinational company is patriotic unless you are talking about the country called "Money".

    BTW you know nothing of my knowledge of Socialism. Lenin may have had good ideas, so did the Khmer Rouge regime, so did Mao, in practice there was much suffering for many people. No political system has ever changed human nature, quite the opposite in fact.

    In attempt to tell how my post is inappropriate, you actually yourself fully agreed with it :-) You just stopped and afraid to make final step, as any capitalist lack any patriotism, not only multinational corporations.

    It seems like I do know a lot. :-) As you literally translate capitalists media and writings. But I understand this. It is hard to believe that society can be different if you never experienced it.

  • No, you don't understand me.... lets not continue this.

  • No, you don't understand me....

    Well, it seems from above that I do. You think that your thoughts are unique, but for most people they are not, due to how human brain works they are compilation of mass media, common books, newspapers and talks that you had in your life. And due to this process they are more or less the same, with small fluctuations.

  • Horrible greedy shits.

    The last car has rolled off the production line in Holden’s Elizabeth factory in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

    The historic occasion marks the end of almost a century of automotive manufacturing for the nation, and 69 years for Holden.

    The last car, a red Commodore V8 sedan, will mark the end of Holden manufacturing — and an industry that represented approximately 50,000 jobs at more than 120 parts suppliers across Australia.

    The final Commodore will be feted by staff at a private ceremony inside the company's Elizabeth assembly operations on Friday before the remaining 955 workers leave the plant for the last time.

    Holden said 85 per cent of the 738 workers who left Elizabeth before Friday's closure had transitioned to new jobs, study or retirement.

    This is how capitalism works, only thing that matters is owners profit.
