Silvia Federici’s “Caliban and the Witch; Women, The Body and Primitive Accumulation” does a fantastic job of taking the feminist analysis of the body and re-conceptualizing it within a class struggle understanding of history. She fills in the blanks that a traditional left analysis has missed, including the concepts of difference, women, race and the body. This work is very important, allowing feminists and socialists alike to realize that identity and class struggle are not polar opposite theoretical understandings read full story / add a comment

"America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around.
Human rights invented America." - President Jimmy Carter

Following that credo, on September 11, 2006, American women handcuffed and chained themselves to the Afghan Embassy in Washington, DC to protest against Hamid Karzai's oppressive government. A spokeswoman stated that this was "just the start of demonstrations against the Afghan Embassy in Washington to protest President Karzai's illegal imprisonment of innocent Americans and treatment of Afghan women." read full story / add a comment

The Finglas Branch of the ISN is currently immersed in the Anti-Bin Tax Campaign. Over the last number of weeks Dublin City Council has begun to implement non-collection in parts of Finglas East. Local residents have responded vigorously! In one estate over 40 residents turned out early in the morning to dump their bags in the truck showing that resistance to the stealth tax was still robust in the area. The council official present was so overwhelmed by the action that he rang the Gardai who duly arrived but, as no laws were being broken, left without a word. Since then, the campaign has leafleted all the areas affected and, along with residents in these areas we are organising the dumping of rubbish into the bin trucks. read full story / add a comment

As a child living in the city i am horrified at what the council have done to the lovely park on dame st. I loved that place ,it was a great place to meet friends or just chat with other people who would be sitting about on the benches.Now there are no benches to have a rest on.When i look across the road there are rows of pubs for adults to sit and have fun in .I dont wunt to go in a pub Why should adults have lots of thing and kids have nothing and why do we need more offices when they havent even got someboby to be in them. I made a protest with my friends to stop the building last year
we even stayed out in the rain because we wunted our park back.
The lovely statues are gone now too, my Ma says the people who made the building earn €250 million a year ,thats very greedy.
I hope we dont lose anymore parks to greedy fat cats.

See you in Dartmoth sq tomorrow ...KEEP THE PARKS FOR KIDS

and see you tomorrow in Dartmouth sq read full story / add a comment
