Dreaming of a National Socialist Australia

More about the book

Emerging from the Victorian Socialist Party in 1936, the movement explored diverse political ideologies, attracting literary figures and controversial members, including former communists and a Nazi Party affiliate. Key players like 'Inky' Stephensen and manipulative figure Billy Miles shaped its anti-Semitic narrative. The group’s downfall came not solely from its fascist leanings but from its ties to Japan, leading to internments that fueled political rivalry between Labor and Liberal parties, obscuring the complexities of its legacy.
