The Easter Rising of April 24 1916 was not simply a pivotal event in Irish history. It signalled the beginning of a revolutionary wave in Europe that reached its highest point in Russia in 1917 - Lenin wrote that ;the tragedy of the Irish; was that ;they rose too soonbefore the revolution had matured in other countries. Today, the democratic legacy of the rising is under attack. Liam O Ruairc surveys the debate read full story / add a comment

Today Good Friday 2006, marks the 75th anniversary of the declaration of the 2nd Spanish Republic. In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship. It's "firsts" were many- free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives, the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture. All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. we may never forget this Republic & it ought inspire every Republican today read full story / add a comment

As activists we all need to be aware of how the far the state may wish to go in their pursuit of 'Justice' Maybe we need to look further into our rights as citizens and our right to freely communicate with each other.. Is Big Brother watching.. who Knows.. They aint gonna tell us! Clarification on phone records access sought The Data Protection Commissioner has said the law should be clarified to ensure that gardaí can only access individual phone records when they are investigating serious crime. Speaking at the launch of his office's annual report, Commissioner Billy Hawkes said amendments to legislation brought in last year allow gardaí investigating all crimes to access telephone records. However, he said this should be confined to investigations into serious crime only, and welcomed an EU directive which would require the Government to change the law accordingly. Mr Hawkes also called for a checklist to be created which gardaí would have to work through before being given access to telephone records. He said an investigation by his office had found that hundreds of individual call records were being accessed by gardaí each month. continues: http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0411/dataprotection.html read full story / add a comment

An anarchist analysis of the 1916 insurrection and the war of independence / tan war in the context of the struggle for socialism in Ireland and internationally. Concentrates on the 'unknown' intense class struggle that ran alongside the war of independence and the role republicanism played in the suppression of that struggle in the interests of nationalist unity. Asks what is freedom and shows how anarchism originated amongst earlier European left republicans as an answer to the limitations of republicanism. read full story / add a comment

Members of the Vol. James Sheridan Ogra Shinn Fein Cumann in Jordanstown University recently toured the site of Long Kesh outside Lisburn. The cumann were privlidged to be accompanied on the tour by South Derry Republican, Paul McGlinchey who was incarcirated in both the cages and the H-Blocks during the 1970's and 80's.

Time To Free Tomek! Assemble St. Stephens Green Front Gates 2pm Moving onto Polish Embassy, Ailesbury Rd, Ballsbridge D4 Please bring Banners, Flags, Noise and most importantly Yourself! In the 1990s Polish anti-fascist activist Tomasz Wilkoszewski was sentenced to 15 years in prison for killing a neo-Nazi in self defence after he was attacked by the neo-nazi. Tomek Wilkoszewski was jailed in March 1996. He's been deprived of his freedom for more than ten years. According to the verdict of the local court he must spend five more years in prison. He has now served almost 10 years of his sentence, which means he is now eligible for parole, and he has a hearing coming up to decide if he will be released early or not. More Info@ http://prisonersolidarity.blogspot.com/2006/03/time-to-....html We also ask you to sign and distribute a petition available @ http://tuba.obin.org/obin_org/video/wawa/innepliki/tome...k.pdf Tomek would also love to get letters from people, to break the isolation of prison.
