Two friends interview each other. The friends are from different generations and come from different national, cultural, and class backgrounds. But they share in a vision of a world and they teach, and learn from, each other in the articulation of this vision shaped by a lifetime of struggle, solidarity, and the kind of political education irreducible to theory or practice alone. In the interviews, the friends reflect on the lived experience of poverty, criminalisation, and organising in the Illawarra and south coast over the recent past: labour militancy, violent reaction, economic downturn, communal care. They reflect on the myriad crimes of class, and find insights into love, care, and solidarity as everyday revolutionary practices from below among the poor and criminalised. As the friends contribute to each other’s life story, the reader is invited into the book’s rich history, at once a history of a region and a story of communism as something lived in the now and reached for, as a horizon.
