For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

"Living the Great Refusal" - strategies for living without capitalism instead of existing within it

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice author Friday May 02, 2014 12:17author by Deborah - The Vegan Information Project Report this post to the editors

A consensus-based workshop to explore the theory, ethics, and practicalities of resistance to an oppressive system.

The Great Refusal is a concept associated with the political theorist Herbert Marcuse who was an influential member of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. This talk and workshop will look at Marcuse's position and apply it to 21st century capitalist oppression.

1. A short introductory talk on political theorist Herbert Marcuse's concepts of the "great refusal" and the "liberated imagination," and how they are not only relevant but essential to our understanding of living as vegan anarchists in a speciesist capitalist world. Q&A to follow.

2. Discussion and workshop on Marcuse's theory and its relevance to our own lives and struggles as activists, with reference to the following issues:

"False needs" and consumer culture - identifying and combating this most insidious form of capitalist tyranny.
The capitalist invasion - of our space, communities, bodies and minds: how it defines us and how to redefine ourselves.
"Ivory tower revolutionaries" vs community building? - how to reject hypocrisy while connecting with others living under the system.
Marcuse's "radical consciousness" - how to make this aspiration a reality, and make freedom in a world of unfreedom.
Practical strategies/ideas for creative resistance and how to implement them.
Personal stories of living outside the system and fighting the system, sharing experience and real life techniques.
