Lets Act as 'ONE', 'UNSTOPABLE' national and internation force and give it to G.B.Jr. up the ___
The below is a reply comment I made to the "Rage Against Racism" in the "publish your news section". It led me to make a statement on why I believe that Globalise Reistance IS THE WAY FORWARD for nearly "EVERYONE" who logs on to this site (except the odd capitlist observer of course!) So come on! Lets stop bickering among eachother, and lets act as "ONE", "UNSTOPABLE", both national and international force and take down this MURDEROUS, BLOODY AND OPPRESSIVE CAPATALIST SYSTEM, which George Bush Jr. embodies and encapulates.
First of all a big pat on the back to the Socialist Youth Party for orgainizing this great event.
Secondly, excellent remarks by Dave Lordon.
Especially:-
"As a socialist i disagree strongly with a host of Sinn Fein policies and tactics though i think it is a mistake and certainly not in the interest of anti racist unity to raise these differences at an event billed as anti- racist."
Yes, THANK YOU Sinn Fein for you work on anti-racism. This was not the venue for bringing up other policy problems with Sinn Fein. On the contrary, their participation in anti-racism is to be greatly encouraged.
"I think the real issue about Saturdays demo is it's tinyness"
Yes, this is the appropriate and real issue to be addressed. With the size of Dublin's poplulation and the success of previous marches why was this one so small?
One of the solutions to this I think, is contained in Socialist Youth's Shane Kenna's opening remark "Thanks to all those who attended, especially Globalise Resistance who made their presence heard and known with a few good Chants!"
I really believe that Globalise Resistance is THE WAY FORWARD. All us "lefties", humanitarians, environmentalists, socialists, anarchists, anti-capitalists etc. etc. NEED SOME UMBRELLA ORG. TO "LINK US ALL TOGETHER" for common events SUCH AS THIS ONE.
The SWP is pushing Globalise Resistance forward otherwise it will collapse, and all our voluntary work, I as one of them!!! will be all but in vain.
The SWP is the SWP. Globalise Resistance is Globalise Resistance. The SWP is just "ONE" member of Globalise Resistance. Should it ever become any more than this I would raise hell over it!
So PLEASE, Socialist Youth, are you already a member or part of Globalise Resitance? If not please join/become part of. Everyone within GR has EQUAL say. It is an UMBRELLA, ORGANIZING, body much like what was behind the first big demo in Seattle and like the Genoa Social Forum in Genoa. Look at what success these things brought!!!
Let's replicate these successes here in Ireland and TAKE DOWN this MURDEROUS, BLOODY AND OPPRESSIVE CAPATALIST SYSTEM, which George Bush Jr. embodies and encapulates.
So whether you are an INDIVIDUAL or and ORANISATION, PLEASE JOIN OR BECOME PART OF GLOBALISE RESISTANCE.
Let's work TOGETHER, Let's stop our bickering and Let's do this!
Yours sincerely,
Michael Ronan O'Connell.
