Left bloc budget day protest at Dail

You can’t afford not to Fight Back - The time for action is overdue!

The left bloc * has called a protest rally at the Dail (7th Dec) for 6pm under the slogan You can’t afford not to Fight Back - The time for action is overdue!
leftblocposterictu.jpg

Government policy is to protect the interests of bankers, developers and the wealthy elite. It has already savaged the living standards of private and public sector workers, pensioners and those forced to live on social welfare. It has resulted in huge attacks on our public services such as health and education.
Unless these policies are stopped they will result in even further devastation in the upcoming budget and over coming months and years. All the main political parties have bought into the cuts agenda. Whichever of them is in government, these policies will need to be opposed. They can only be opposed if ordinary workers like yourself get involved in organising the opposition to them.

Empty Words
The leadership of the ICTU see today’s demonstration as being a one-off opportunity to ‘let off steam’. They will no doubt deliver stirring speeches against the government. But they have shown by their actions that these speeches are no more than empty words.The ICTU leadership have in fact also signed up to the cuts agenda. They just want the cuts to be spread out over a longer period of time to ‘spread out the pain’.If a real opposition to the government’s agenda is to be built we cannot depend on the ICTU leadership to build it. We must take that initiative ourselves. In our workplaces and in our communities, with our neighbours and with our workmates each of us must take on the responsibility of building the opposition.

Sustained Campaign Needed
If these policies are going to be stopped, it is going to involve a sustained campaign of marches, protests and strikes. This can start with a huge protest on Budget Night on 7th December from 6pm at the Dáil.;In our individual unions and workplaces we need to begin to build to force the ICTU to call a 24 hour general strike. Such a strike would provide the springboard for the construction of a real and genuine campaign of people power designed to force on to the political agenda our demands to make the wealthy pay for their crisis.&The building of such a campaign needs the involvement of each one of us. We cannot sit back and wait for trade union leaders or anyone else to do it for us. But the good news is that today you are marching beside like-minded people. Today can be the opportunity for us to make links and begin the process of building the campaign.

* The left bloc is an ah hoc grouping foamed to organize a united left presence for the ICTU demonstration and budget day protests. Those at meetings have included the CPSU activist group, Socialist Democracy, Workers Solidarity Movement, éirigi,, Socialist Party, Workers Party, Cllr. Cieran Perry and other independent socialists. This event notice has been created by the 1% Network which will be taking part in the left bloc rally and which is comprised of WSM, éirigi, ISN and Semora Spraoi. The 1% Network will be meeting up prior to the left bloc rally at the Wolfe Tone statue opposite the Shelbourne hotel in order to march down to the rally point for 6.

Sink them all on election day. FF=FG=Labour. Instead, lets have a real change. A radical left / SF government that puts people first and fights our corner against the ravages of global capital.

After the anti capitalist blocs before, i think it would be a good idea to meet somewhere else other than the Wolfe Tone statue.

Its too close to the Dail, its easy for us to be hemmed in, and it doesnt give us a chance to build up any collective energy before we get to the Dail gates. Its also off the beaten track of pedestrians and people around town to see a march and join in.

It doesnt have to be the Garden of Remembrance!
Maybe somewhere like the Gloucester Diamond on Gardiner Street, or Mountjoy Square, and go down O'Connell Street or Gardiner Street to get to the southside? People will join in if they see banners and stuff like that.
