i love this song
The Red Flag (sung to the tune of O' christmas tree) written 1803 by Jim Connel.
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung
Chicago swells the surging throng.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It waved above our infant might,
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its colour now.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
seeing as there has never been a communist country, my answer to your question is no - if you were to ask me had I lived in a socialist country, my answer would be yes.

I'm having fun.
If you aren't I suggest you find another thread to become involved in.
So, it seems a union person went to the officials to inform them of some corrupt practices.
The union then starts an investigation of said corruption, which would seem to be a reasonable step.
This Royal Commission can only be to smear unions and smear Labor.
Abbott has already well and truly proved he is incapable of fair play so why the need to keep on attacking without cause.
As the saying goes MUD STICKS. Say something enough and people believe it.
He is seriously trying to make Australia a one party nation in which elections are obsolete because he has destroyed any an all opposition with his lies and slander.
