So in England and Australia, does “Labour” mean fascist?
It means slightly better than—but just slightly—America's Democrats.
Though fyi in Australia we spell it Labor. It's labour in any other context, but our political party is Labor.
The history of the Australian Labor party is in the union movement. But more than a century has passed since its formation. It has changed from its origins, ironically passing legislation that reduces the power of labor unions.
