The Red Eureka Movement (REM) was an Australian communist and Maoist political party led by activist Albert Langer. [1] It was active from 1977 to 1982. [1] The party was formed as a splinter organization from the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist–Leninist) (CPAML) by activists who supported the Gang of Four against Deng Xiaoping. [2] REM denounced China under Deng as having taken the "capitalist road". [2] The group was opposed to all other Australian Maoist organisations for a variety of reasons, and advocated for a global front to oppose the Soviet Union. [3]
REM was based in Melbourne, and published a monthly journal titled Rebel, [4] as well as another journal titled Discussion Bulletin, which published material that satirised the CPAML. [5] The REM owned a bookstore named the "After Hours Bookstore" in Hoddle Street, Melbourne. [6]
