IF someone changes the name of a nationality to make it fit better into a slogan (eg: from Pakistani to Paki) is this an indication of racism? Most of us would agree. If someone wants to get foreigners to leave this country, if they commit violent acts against foreign nationals in an attempt to make them leave, is this an indication of racism? Again, most of us would agree. read full story / add a comment

This is the text of a talk given last weekend at the Socialist Youth Summer camp in Co. Monaghan during a debate between Brian Cahill of the SP and James O Brien of the WSM. I am posting it here as, although there have been many anarchism vs. Leninism debates on Indymedia, they have rarely risen above simplistic distortions and slagging. Perhaps Brian could post his talk here as well and we could both sides of the debate. Maybe it’ll be different this time, or maybe that is extreme wishful thinking. read full story / add a comment

Anti-smoking groups protect the cigarette industry from the most serious indictments, revelations, charges and liabiliies. "Smokers' Rights" groups do the same. Big Oil (tobacco pesticides), for one, is ignored even as we oppose its oily invasion of Iraq. read full story / add a comment

War in Iraq was inevitable. That there would be war was decided by North American planners in the mid-1920s; that it would be in Iraq was decided much more recently. The architects of this war were not military planners but town planners. War is inevitable not because of so-called weapons of mass destruction, as claimed by the political right, nor because of Western imperialism, as claimed by the left. The cause of this war is car dependence. read full story / add a comment

No political observer can afford to ignore or deny the fact that the Israeli government is still using all gimmicks manoeuvers to hinder the implementation of the international legitimacy resolutions concerning the Middle East problem. Observers and analysts do not need further evidence to find that Israel is still opposing all honest peace efforts being exerted by the Arabs in general and the Palestinian people in particular. By persisting in its intransigent policy Israel is not only standing against the international legitimacy resolutions, but also rejecting the very initiative, the roadmap, put forward by the US and other parties of the Quartet Committee, the UN, the EU and Russia. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Music Rights Organisation, and organisations like it around the world, administers licences for performing rights. Developed from copyright theory, performing rights act as a justification for prescriptive control, making it legitimate for one person to prescribe the actions of another unless a fee is paid. Have you ever given performing rights a second thought? have you ever questioned the validity of performing rights? Have you ever thought about the role of persuasion and coercion in the politics of copyright and performing rights? read full story / add a comment

The following short quote is taken from Organic Bytes, a weekly mail out from the good ppl at the organic consumers website....and, with the new US offensive against (Good) old europe's desire to _label_ (and perhaps even... ban :-0 )genetically engineered products, its time to remind ourselves, once again, of what the bastards are at: QUICK QUIZ: HOW U.S. DEMOCRACY WORKS Question: How is it that every industrialized nation in the world has banned Monsanto's rBGH as unsafe, but it's legal (and unlabeled) in the United States? read full story / add a comment

In this interview she talks about that, the impact of the X-case and the pro-choice movement today. read full story / add a comment

If the CIE (Cycling Is Easier) 'workers' proceed with their illegal no fares day this Friday the 18TH, then the management of CIE should keep it's botle and do what it has threatened to do, namely sack all of the so-called 'workers' in CIE on the spot. The same also applies to the rest of the dossing, lazy over-paid 'workers' in the rest of the semi-states such as Aer Rianta, ESB, An Post and the rest if they hold to their threats to hold us hard working taxpayers to ransom in pursuit of their outdated marxist dogma. Bloody commie unions, they should be banned and all strikes made illegal. That way we will never, ever again ever be held to ransom by them. read full story / add a comment |
