Anti Fianna Fail Posters Removed in City

PRESS RELEASE

WCA PRESS RELEASE

Anti Fianna Fail Posters Removed in City

Posters critical of Fianna Fail, produced by the Working Class Action (WCA) Group, have begun to disappear from part of the Dublin Central constituency.

Large numbers of the posters have been ripped down (and taken away) in the North Inner City. The posters have now been erected, removed and replaced on two occasions across North Strand, East Wall and Sheriff Street.

The posters were produced to refute the claim from Bertie Ahern that ordinary working class people were ‘spongers’ for opposing the Bin Tax.

The eye-catching posters describe Fianna Fail as ‘Criminals, Drunk Drivers and Tax Cheats’. It goes on to list recent large price rises for basic services, which must be paid by PAYE tax payers.

These include:
VHI increased by 44%
ESB increased by 13.5%
Eircom bills increased by 6.3%
Bus Fares increased by 9%
TV licence increased by 40%

Members of the WCA have been erecting the posters in areas across the Northside over the past week. They have also been carried by protestors on Anti-Bin Tax marches and pickets.

Campaign Co-ordination Eoin Candon said:
"We accept that Fianna Fail may not be very happy with our direct approach, but we felt it important to bring these price rises to the attention of the public. No one from Fianna Fail has contacted us about the posters, even though the WCA phone number is printed on the posters.

Public reaction to them has been excellent and many people have contacted us asking for posters to put up in their own communities."

Fair play to you's for highlighting rising costs. Betie has a cheek calling people spongers. But you can quote figures all day,damning Fianna Fail and the PD government.But the fact of the matter is that the electorate in this country are retarded and will go out and vote in the same crooks every time. If they caught Bertie burgling their home they'd still vote for him. If they caught Harney mugging their parents with a syringe they'd still vote her in. The electorate dont have the brainpower to change the system they feel that they're stuck with, so leave them suffer. You should use your brain power to get ahead. Be the big business sponsored government and if the power hasnt got to your head, then change the system that you are the core of. And make the idiots suffer for their laziness and apathy.
I'm always plugging the ragged trousered philanthropists by robert tressel but it explains how these people are brainwashed and its a good read too. Wrote in the early 20th century its as relevent today as it was then.

Is the way these hopeless, self interested, incompetant and - largely - pig ignorant people get to be the government. It is not that the working class are even thicker. It is that priviledge, money and access to higher education provides an inbuilt advantage to even the dimmest offspring of someone who was once a TD, etc. etc.
Yes, many many people do vote like sheep but the situation is improving a bit and community and issues candidates will do well in the upcoming locals, I think. We can only encourage self acivity, etc. at all times - not just elections of course.

I am a fan of the Ragged Trousers Philantrophists myself. Surely if we know how they construct the hegemony we can work out how to break it?

Watched the 'Chavez' film again last night, it was on BBC2. Really inspirational the way the ordinary people of Venezuela overturned the coup. Though not the same issue here it is still interesting that as soon as a working class campaign becomes effective the howling mass of the political establishment and the media start smothering us with guff about 'democracy and law'. As if 'law' and 'justice' were the same things.

.ie - can people copy it readily if they are lucky/unlucky enough to have access to a PC and printing facilities?
Then it can be shrunk and blown up, used as a sticker, or a poster, every time some FF minion takes down one of those posters, WCA might reflect real communication has occured. Keep it up = keep putting the posters up, it may become a very interesting "game/activity" and leaving an easy to download poster somewhere else can help other people play the game as well. I seem to remember north Cork is very difficult to poster as well at times.

It is a good thing that these posters are taken down, with any luck it means that they have got right on the nerves of FF and they have gone in to a frenzy about them.
As someone who has put a few socialist Party posters up in my time it has always been a source of encouragement to me when they are effective enough to irritate the other side.

Well done WCA

The Fianna Failer above is certainly getting his/her undergarments in twist. A number of interesting topics are touched on in the short rant provided.

1) Criticism of the Glorious Leader amounts to treason and sedition! Under what statute? What is the sentence for this heinous crime? I just ask for fear that anyone else might make a similar error and find themselves swinging from a gibbet.

Of course it could be merely that FF have been in office for far too long and are guilty of confusing their party and leader with being the actual nation and people of Ireland. As far as I am aware FF do not even represent 50% of the people of Ireland.

2) 'Our Tanaiste, Mary Harney'. Is he trying to tell us something here? Is Harney back in Fianna Fail? Would explain a few things all right.

3) So we can take this as an official admission from FF that they took down the posters, so?

Fianna Fáil obviously regard the WCA as the major threat to them remaining in power and have unleashed the full power of the state, just as predicted by some anarchist who reckons that a Sunday Tribune article is the prelude for some kind of police state crackdown on the anti-bin campaign!! ....and not forgetting Kevin McLoughlin of the SP who beleives that we are witnessing the greatest crackdown on the working class in living memory. Easy to see who wasn't part of the anti-drugs movement; hunger strike; or bore the brunt of the heavy gang and decades of imprisonment and branch harassment and censorship. Not to mention all those other strikes and struggles in which the trots were like little kids with their noses pressed against the window wondering what was going on. Grow up and maybe you might save this campaign ending in farce.

Matt

I think you have been getting the wrong end of the stick here, either deliberately or otherwise.

WCA are not anarchist and not SP, so whatever those sections think is their own business, not ours. Some of them have been getting a tad over excited all right.

It is not clear if you are claiming that WCA (who you seem to lump in with the leftie factions) were not involved in the anti-drugs campaign, Republican politics, etc. Most of us were and some go back to the hunger strike and political status campaign. Maybe you should go and ask a grown up in Sinn Féin? Republicans can and do exist outside of the party you support.

So WCA are ‘posers’ for opposing Fianna Fail. Interesting line that.

The question has come up time and time again, why are the masses so passive and apathetic. Why do they continue voting for all these useless political parties.

Well, you won't get the full answer, but you will certainly get a big piece of it if you read over this article by John Gatto titled: Against School.

John Gatto, retired now was a teacher for over 30 years in the USA. He even got Teacher of the Year award a few times.

He has written numerous articles and extensively researched the history behind how compulsory schooling came into being. It's certainly not the Disneyland version we get, which claims it was the result of a long process of progress. Gatto shows how the key people, many who were the leading industrialists of the time, well well aware of it's use for social engineering and control of the minds of the masses. To dumb them down.

For example in http://www.spinninglobe.net/againstschool.htm he says:

Mass schooling of a compulsory nature really got its teeth into the United States between 1905 and 1915, though it was conceived of much earlier and pushed for throughout most of the nineteenth century. The reason given for this enormous upheaval of family life and cultural traditions was, roughly speaking, threefold:

1) To make good people. 2) To make good citizens. 3) To make each person his or her personal best. These goals are still trotted out today on a regular basis, and most of us accept them in one form or another as a decent definition of public education's mission, however short schools actually fall in achieving them. But we are dead wrong. Compounding our error is the fact that the national literature holds numerous and surprisingly consistent statements of compulsory schooling's true purpose. We have, for example, the great H. L. Mencken, who wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not

to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States... and that is its aim everywhere else.

And just in case you think the USA experience doesn't apply here in Ireland, consider this. Carnegie, who was one of the wealthiest people in the USA at the time, poured huge money into education (to control and set the agenda). He also put a lot of money into education in Ireland. This explains why you see the name 'Carnegie' over the doorway of practically every library in Ireland.

All of this dumbing down the masses so that they can't think has huge and direct relevance today.

Matt,
Come out from behind the innuendo. Have the confidence in your own argument to stand over it. Fill us in on 'our' background! I take it from your reference to 'british' RA/AFA that you are among the recent influx to SF. Handy, now the war is over. Of particular interest to me is your own personal involvement in the anti drugs campaign, or are you one of the many bullshitters to would like to claim some glory but didn't have the balls for it? If my suspicions are correct, the likes of you denigrate the role played by members of your own party. Anyway, you can use this opportunity to hype up your own activities, bravery etc.. like most keyboard warriors.

Few facts: A leading member of Dublin AFA in 1997 told AFA in London that they were (a) organising anti-fascist patrols, (b) the main force in the Dublin anti-drugs movement, specifically in Cabra (ring any bells???), and (c) that the INLA were the people to take on the pushers. That infatuation with non-IRA 'republicans' is obviously continuing given the WCA's flirtation with the dissidents.

And I stand by my claim that Dublin AFA was cut off, or whatever term you want, by the British organsiation because of the behaviour of its members in Belfast at a function.

Yes, all my political activity has been as a republican.

Nick Mullen was British RA/AFA member who was imprisoned for his part in the war in England as an IRA Volunteer.

A few facts?? Because you say so doesn't make it a fact. The idea of "anti fascist patrols" just doesn't make any sense. Were the patrols there in case nazi germany attacked again?
If you feel the need to lie please make them believable!!
The main force in the anti drugs movement!!! Not even SF claimed that they were the 'main force'. There was no main force in the anti drugs movement, ordinary working class people were the power behind the movement.
"the INLA were the people to take on the pushers"
As I've said, as an anti drug activist I won't even bother commenting.
I wouldn't have known Nick Mullen personally 'cos he was active in England. What is your point? By the way, what organisation did Nick get sent down for? I only know 2 members of RA/AFA who did time for fighting the brits, one for the IRA and the other for the INLA.
Speaking of people we know, do you remember a chap who used to run around as a gofer for the main bods in AFA. His background was as a member of the anti republican organisation Militant and he was a Rangers supporter. In an effort to please his new masters he took up the Republican cause (post ceasefire) with a vengeance and even began to support Celtic. I wonder what ever happened to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you were that active it is rumoured that you provided the sugar cubes for the shergar job, that you placed leaves strategically on the railway lines in england to cause chaos,invented the wet tea bag bomb before anyone though of the coffee jar type as well as almost bringing england to its knees by leaving old copies of an phoblacht on buses throughout london.

on the drugs issue, propositionng a strung out rent boy and getting a slap for it does not constitute a smaking from drug dealing scum.

Real name and real facts. As a former republican prisoner - which I guess makes me sort of known to the enemy - I can assure you that we had more respect for the people you refer to in Britain than for idiots like you who were running around Dublin playing Citizen Smith. You talked the talk alright. So why didn't you and your joke comrades actually join the RA or the INLA, if that was your preference, rather than engage in the ridiculous pretence of anti-fascist patrols and running around after the CPAD. And we didn't trust you, and we still don't trust you as you always seem to be exactly where the Branch and Brits would want to place semi-plausible lefties who get off on other people using guns. Ooops!, I hope no-one from the RIRA is reading this.

and for the moment you don't know who I am Matt.
But I lived in London and read An Phoblacht. And I found it regularly on the bus through Brixton left behind and sightly soggy. And I spent two days behind a steel door off Dorset Street because CPAD could not sleep through a rave party I organised to protest against the rackrenting by a republican landlord against his tenants.
And I oh so often thought that the Brits and the Branch did the job of the "real enemy" by always ensuring that "ye" were always where like the 'Ra would be. I like what you say it is passionate, possibly true, but it is "emotive", because only the Branch and the Brits know who you are in this space. And the CIA and the NSA and all the other ghoulies. We are here with the ghoulies Matt tell me what did O'Neill say last weekend?
How do you as former "republican prisoner" for whom I wore a green ribbon in both Dublin and London yet never ever ever did I attend one of your cumann meetings, for truth is, I might have then sat down behind one of the CPAD who quite succinctly said "When you get out we'll smash your westbrit face in". Oh but now, the accents are varied no? Bearing grudges is weird isn't it?
There you are pissed off because people _activated_ in different ways to _your_ comrades, and all you can think of is how they hindered your campaign. And here am I pissed off because so many of you still don't get it, after all the suffering after all of it: you were as outside as any Trot, with your faces pressed against the Glass. I saw my methodology confused with yours so often, to those I worked with, was ascribed less blood and more financial damage then your campaign. And you know I share filing cabinet space with some of you. And the same ghoulie monsters that hassle you hassle me. But I would never nor will I ever find the "solidarity" of the closed ranks Republicans to console my prejudice or assuage my fear.

and thus we could go on for days.
[this is my first message to you - as far as I know]

so last questions-
if Republicans of the SF Tradition are sincere about building trust with all on the island, when will they make a _serious_ attempt to build trust with the others of the Left in the majority Irish State?
And what did the IRA say last weekend concerning that little matter of the arms decommisioning, like it's "our business" as well isn't it?
