deliberate destruction of anti globalisation movement by swp and labout youth

As a former leftie I have become totally disillusioned by the careerism and opportunism and falseness of the labour party and the workers party, and the craziness, sectishness and bullshit dogma that exists in the swp and other micro groups that dis-orientate, diss-illusion and burn out many young, concerned and idealistic people in this country.

The only hope for optimism that I have seen recently has been internationally the growth of the anti globalisation movement and nationally the defeat of the Nice referendum from below by the people. The anti globalisation movement has been incorrectly labelled the 'anti capitalist movement' by the swp, so that they can take it over in this country and ultimately destroy it and recruit and brainwash a few more idealistic people. This has been their agenda in Globalise Resistance where at the moment they are refusing to campaign against the Nice Treaty in case it upsets their labour party members of Globalise resistance.

The swp with a little help from labour youth have almost succeeded in destroying the anti glabalisation movement in Ireland, largely because the rest of the left sat back and allowed them to, this is because many lefties are scared shitless of the anti globalisation movement either because of a lack of vision, its new and they dont understand it or know how to handle it, or because they realise that they are unable to control it. Of course the swp and labour are scared of its potential also but are a little more clever and seek to control,weaken and ultimately destroy it from within.
