The Red Eureka Movement (REM) was an Australian 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] The group denounced China under Xiaoping 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]
