news report
Wednesday June 11, 2008 20:59 by Ray - Cork WSM
Limerick, Waterford, and Cork twice! A photo-review of WSM activities in Munster cities during the Lisbon referendum campaign. The Cork WSM branch, with the help of other comrades from Limerick and Dublin, did 4 info stalls on the streets of Cork, Limerick and Waterford as part of our campaign activities. Each was blessed with good sunny weather and a public mood in some sympathy with our anarchist vote No message. We gave out thousands of leaflets, and made new contacts across the cities. It was also good to see what other campaigns were active on the ground across Munster. When we did the Limerick stall almost a month ago, the mood among the public was in the middle of forming, but all of us on that stall could feel that there was a considerable No vote brewing out there. The ease of distributing leaflets was evident as we got through over 600 that day, a pace that never faltered as we moved from one city to the next. Thanks too due to our Limerick comrade Shane who gave us a big hand that day and brought along a friend to help.

June 7th, Cork. A quiet moment in a busy day.
June 7th, Cork. Gathering together at day's end.
I think it was a difficult campaign to be on the Left in this and differentiate yourself from the other no camps but I think everyone involved did very well. The next step must be to build a new workers movement from the ground up to take on the establishment, who in this campaign have shown themselves to be simply different factions of the same side (and not much between them either)
New anarchist group, small at the moment.
We should hang out sometime (:
(just answer this post if you want to)
Vote no to lisbon? I thought Anarchists were opposed to elections and always called for a boycott.
There is a big difference between voting in order to make a decision and voting for someone to whom we will hand over decision-making.
Anarchists vote all the time - in anarchist organisations, in trade unions, in community groups, and in referenda. We have no problem with making decisions by counting how many are in favour and how many are against.
What we refuse to do is vote for someone to rule over us, that's why we don't vote in Stormont or Dail elections. If we don't want rulers, there isn't any point in voting for rulers. It's that simple.
There is a good explanation of the anarchist position at www.wsm.ie/story/1772
