Jump To Comment: 1I am in total agreement with everything written in this article. Only by shutting down the capitalist economy can we hope to remove the parasites that run it. The current state of the economy means that Irish workers have been tranquilized by money and consumerism, stopping them from seeing how they truly are victims.
The Irish worker has lost sight of the fact that it is they that create the wealth and not those that organize the worker or the so called entrepreneurs who simply develop new ways of more efficient production (that of course utilizes fewer workers).
With the bosses out of the way all workers will be in position to take part in all decisions made about all matters. All people will be in a position to work in jobs that they decide on and in the ways that they think best. All workers will be able to share in the fruits of the labour of everybody else fairly so that nobody will be left behind and no one will move ahead, no matter what their lack or surplus of “talent”.
The Irish ferries workers are true heroes who I believe should and inevitably will lead to defeat of the management and the destruction of the nefarious Irish Ferries company. That the workers are willing to sacrifice themselves to destroy Irish ferries and help save the rest of Ireland’s working people shows their true heroism. Only with the destruction of Irish Ferries can the working person in Ireland see that capitalism is dead and it must be replaced by a new and vibrant democratic workers collective republic.
