SD views on elections

Election setback in Ireland
Fianna Fail 
Frankenstein marches again

March 2016

The outcome of the Irish 
election of 2016 is best understood through the lens of political 
developments in Europe. The savage austerity has seen the collapse of 
traditional capitalist parties and institutions and, to an even greater 
extent, the collapse of support for traditional institutions of the 
working class. Social democratic parties have implemented the 
capitalist offensive and been decimated. Time and again the trade union 
bureaucracies have channelled workers opposition into formal and 
limited protest before going on to betray them. As workers frustration 
increased the left of the bureaucracy and of social democracy have set 
up new “broad” parties. The socialist movement has played a regressive 
role. Lacking any faith in the possibility of revolution, they have 
attached themselves to these parties and endorsed reformist and 
populist measures that in turn fail (the Syriza/Podemos model). The old 
order gains confidence and sections of the workers turn towards 
revolution – only in Greece is this situation beginning to mature, with 
strikes and demonstrations against Syriza in government.

[Marxism] Ireland. 20 Years from the IRA ceasefire

The ghost of promises past: 20 years since the IRA ceasefire



The 20th anniversary of the IRA ceasefire that began the movement to 
the current peace settlement arrived on August 31st.  It has been 
marked by a number of commentaries. Almost all are fervently in support 
of the settlement, yet nearly all are marked by a deep disillusionment 
and disappointment and also a recognition that, despite continued 
support from the major political forces, the political structures are 
in crisis and are likely to collapse in a short period of time.

I must thank Louis or his offer to join the cut and thrust of cut and 
paste.

I do not however believe that exchange of internet links, 
innuendo, guilt by association and ad hominem argument adds anything to 
our understanding of the Ukrainian crisis.

We have in fact changed our 
analysis of Ukraine based on a critique from other Marxists and are 
willing to reconsider our position if you wish to attempt a Marxist 
analysis yourself.

I hope you comrades will be able to resolve the 
contradiction between 
your worries over the growth of Jobbik, Golden 
Dawn, BNP, et al and how 
these groups support the Donetsk People's 
Republic.

You wrote:

The Irish working class has a proud history 
of standing up against 
fascism, from beating the Blueshirt’s off the 
streets of Dublin, to 
fighting in defence of democracy against 
fascism in Spain. Once again it 
is time for the people of Ireland to 
take a stand against the rising 
tide of Fascism in Europe. 
International working class solidarity will 
be a decisive factor in 
crushing the re-emergence of fascism and we all 
have a role to play.


Aren't you aware that Lenin viewed Ukraine as Russia's Ireland?

I 
much prefer this approach:
