That was a young man I carried my pack, and I lived the free life of a roger.

And the Mary's green basin to the dusty outback.

I think they're cool.

I like my Matilda all over.

Till in 1915 my country said, son, it's time to stop rambling for there's work to be done.

So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun.

And they sent me away to the war.

And the band played Wolseing Matilda as we sailed away from the quay.

But amidst all the cheers and the shouts and the tears, we sailed off for Gallipoli.

Great, great tune. We all love it, don't we folks? We all love it. And I'll be a normie. I like the Pogue version the most.

I like the, I like Shane McGowan's voice. Not gonna lie.

I'm a, I'm a plastic patty at heart, even though I'm pretty sure I'm basically not any of the, I don't have any hated Bogman in me.

According to my pointless, well, the thing is, they're all Germans anyway.

Everybody's crouts.

Everybody's the fucking crowd.

Even the Celts.

So, I want to start by addressing a question that someone asked yet last week that I realized on reflection I didn't

answer terribly well and it was they asked me about about idealism versus materialism as like a way

to approach life and history and you know everything else reality even and they said well isn't the

notion of class consciousness idealist?

Because the idea is, it's an idea.

It's, oh, there's a class consciousness that we have to operate from.
