Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10What was the SWP's position on the march BEFORE saturday?
What is trhe SWP's position regarding Love Ulster and FAIR?
SWP's Left Republicanism is clear. Recently they called the IRA a "revolutionary army". SWP think that the protestant working class must be either (a.) written off or (b.) accept petit-bourgeois Irish naitonalism. SWP hold a very un-Marxist view of nationalism and they don't advocate socialism as an alternative to the failed sectarian politics. SWP have fallen into the nationalist trap that has continually dogged and held back the workers' movement in Ireland for decades. Did the SWP have any members involved in the riots?
The splinters to the left argue against the splinters to the right, and the agitated disaffected burn some cars?
We imported a sectarian divide (not a class divide) and the gardai casually turned a blind eye. The Reclaim the Streets were consider a riot, for christ sake. The guards were shown up for the mickey mouse police force they are, with their inability to even consider that coralling anti-loyalist protestors onto a building site might be a bad idea.
As for the SWPs, any bandwagon in a storm, eh?
just to clarify: it wasnt an orange order march, it was a loyalist march. love ulster is an extreme loyalist organoisation which is linked to the uda & uvf. willie frazer was refuse a gun license by the psni because of his links with the uvf. love ulster mrchs in britain have been stewarded by combat 18 & the bnp.
Youre analysis is irrelevent swp, none of your members were there.
Anyone else reckon this is a bad summary of an article that has already appeared on indymedia?
Gerry Ryan understands more about the riot than the SWP .
In that it gives more credence to the idea that McDowell "let it happen". I'm dithering between the two positions. In favour of the conspiracy hypothesis is the fact that almost immediately after the riots Ahern stated publically that trouble had been expected and McDowell denied that trouble was expected.
Interesting Rabitte slapped down Costello's calls for a public inquiry. That's what's got to happen before any reasonable hypothesis can be formed. What intelligence was presented to McDowell? What decisions did he make (or was it all a fuck up by senior Gardai with no political direction?) How many riot police were available? etc. There's very little information about what our democratically elected representatives decided on our behalf.
I broadly agree with this article on the riot by the SWP.
However I joined RSF along with 4 of my freinds in the aftermath of the riot. They were the only ones who represtented the feelings of Dublin's youth on the day, and they would do it all again.
I also support their direct action approach to drug dealers in my area, which has helped to clean the place up a lot.
What RSF do is the difference between saying that you agree with youths rioting with the guards, and actually involving yourself in the rioting.
i emailed willie frazier to say that me and some of my mates would escort them down o'connell street next time they visit against the the fascicist lumpens who attacked them last time. our day has come . we have grown up . ulster protestants have the same right to wlk down o'connell as any other group or minority.let a group come together to welcome loyalists on streets. i will help / see ya , martin
