Sydney Libertarianism adopted an attitude of permanent protest recognisable in the sociological theories of Max Nomad , Vilfredo Pareto and Robert Michels , which predicted the inevitability of elites and the futility of revolutions . They used phrases such as " anarchism without ends , " " non-utopian anarchism , " and " permanent protest " to describe their activities and theories . Others labelled them as the ' futilitarians ' . An early Marx quotation , used by Wilhelm Reich as the motto for his '' The Sexual Revolution '' , was adopted as a motto , viz : Since it is not for us to create a plan for the future that will hold for all time , all the more surely what we contemporaries have to do is the uncompromising critical evaluation of all that exists , uncompromising in the sense that our criticism fears neither its own results nor the conflict with the powers that be . Nevertheless , Push associates regularly assisted in organising and turning out for street demonstrations , e.g. , against South African apartheid and in support of victims of the 1960 Sharpeville massacre ; against the initial refusal of immigration minister Alexander Downer , Sr. to grant political asylum to three Portuguese merchant seamen who jumped ship in Darwin ; and against Australia 's participation in the Vietnam War
