Thought people might be interested in this quite detailed analysis of SF from one of the libertarian marxists who has been involved in the grassroots gatherings.

how? many of the elected left politicians in Dail Eireann made a financial contribution to the anti g8 protests so that people who cant afford to travel could do so.

no doubt we will see them jumping on make poverty history bandwagon next week.

has Dr. Kieran Allen who has now been appointed as head of sociology in UCD or Boyd Barrett auld fellow given money or any of the swp lecturers in universities.

even more amazing has the poison chalice of America ( Gerry Adams)

A good summary and analysis of the shift in SF's thinking and strategy over the last 30 years, except for the bit on the need to build a new party of the working class!

"how? many of the elected left politicians in Dail Eireann made a financial contribution to the anti g8 protests so that people who cant afford to travel could do so."

xeirecorex, I know con can respond to this himself, but I think that the question mark after how was meant to be at the end of the sentence making this a rhetorical question (I hope). So I think youse are in agreement eek

At least thats how I read it.
