When 31-year-old Australian Christian Goopy looks back on his decision to join the Communist Party of Australia (CPA), he said it is a decision he has fully committed himself to and one he would never change.
"It's allowed me to be more truly who I am, and also to make more of a contribution as a communist," Goopy told China Daily.
Goopy, a member of the CPA Central Committee and president of its New South Wales State Committee, joined the party in 2018 after being drawn to socialist and communist ideas for some time.
He said he had looked at different approaches before that, but came to believe they did not offer a way forward for the fundamental social transformation needed to meet people's needs better and unlock society's potential.
