Liam "The Bear"

Liam "The Bear" is the popular figurehead of the Australian Platformist Party, former teacher and Tabletop hobbyist.

Early Life
Born in Country Victoria, Liam was a teacher prior to entering politics full time. Before his political debut, he spent six months homeless.

Liam is practising pagan, finding worship in the Norse gods Ullr, god of hunting, skiing and competition and Hela, goddess of death, afterlife and passing.

Liam was briefly a pro-MMA fighter, going undefeated for 20 fights before losing due to dirty tactics.

He met and bonded with Platformist Co-founder Hugh Mungus over weekly games of Dungeons and Dragons.

Political Career
Motivated by a passion for anarchism and deep dissatisfaction with capitalism, Liam was responsible for founding the Platformist Party along with Hugh Mungus. He was instrumental in growing the party, recruiting numerous people including ABC Reporter Shitpost Goddess and Labor politician Khaver.

Battle with Bunkers
During the run up to the April 2018 Election, Liam and Khaver were attacked by known fascist Bunkers on Lygon Street in Carlton. Bunkers had previously harassed the leftists. They managed to escape the attack and calm the locals, which galvanised the left and led to Khaver leaving the Labor Party in solidarity and joining the Platformists creating the "Red-Black Alliance".

Political Views
Liam is an anarchist, influenced primarily by the philosophers Peter Kropotkin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Max Stirner, as well as the revolutionary leader Nestor Mahkno.
