The Socialist Alternative has withdrawn its newspapers featuring a violent image depicting Tony Abbott getting his throat cut following a public backlash.
The image was accompanied by the headline “One cut we'd like to see” and was on the front page of its paper Red Flag.
The organisation posted the image last night on its Facebook page, prompting more than 200 comments, most of them negative.
One user said: “Oh ... not cool. I’m no fan of the LNP — policies, parties, associates or leader — but this seems unnecessarily violent.”
Another said: “dreadful picture. DO NOT CONDONE violence to anyone. Even Abbott. You LOST me off this page and as a supporter.”
The Socialist Alternative released a statement this morning saying it would withdraw the cover, citing “legal concerns”.



Oh...not cool. This cover was def for the lose.

Turns out that socialism is an alternative to liberty, peace and Constitutional freedom. I can't say we weren't warned when Obama took office.

The organisation said the artwork drew inspiration from Michael Callaghan’s classic 1977 poster “Give Frazer the Razor”, which today hangs in the National Gallery.
The poster was prompted by Malcolm Fraser’s decision to block supply, leading to the dismissal of the Whitlam Labor government in 1975, which inspired the rallying cry “Give Fraser the razor!”.



apparently what made the new one too radical was that "the razor is bloodier than in the original"

But the PM brought back Australian knighthoods, so he's not all bad. That's a bigger blow to capitalism and petty americanism than the socialosers will ever achieve.
