2008 has seen a crisis of capitalism not seen since the 1930’s. The workings of the market, once universally worshipped, have imploded and are wrecking people’s lives across the globe. Alongside this, the so called “war on terror” pursued by the same market fundamentalists, has brought death and havoc in Iraq and now, in Afghanistan, it threatens to spill over to new and deadlier frontiers. Never has it been so important to develop alternatives to the madness of the system. read full story / add a comment

Charlie McGreevy having introduced Medical Cards as an automatic right for the over 70s in 2001 in an attempt by Fianna Fail to win support at the upcoming General Election, another Fianna Fail Minister for Finance, Brian Lenehan, then proposed taking away this automatic right and reintroducing a means test. Anyone with an income in access of e241.00 per week was to lose their Medical Card. That meant people over seventy who had worked and paid taxes all their lives and may have had a small occupational pension would have lost their medical cards. It was a disgrace. All this is in an effort to save e100 million! Yet the same Minister for finance had no problem providing a guarantee to the banks of almost e500 billion! Northern Ireland, which experienced nothing like the wealth that occurred in the Republic of Ireland during the years of the Celtic Tiger, is about to introduce free medical prescriptions for all, but then, they enjoy universal free health care. read full story / add a comment

The partial climbdown on medical cards for the elderly is deceptive: the clawback by Harney and her circling privatising vultures is to be the introduction of legislation to end automatic entitlement to medical cards for the over 70s - the means by which she will secure the same outcome as she did last week. She'll just have to go a bit more slowly at it than she at first thought. If you live in the Clonakilty area come to the march tonight and register your feelings - speakers will include representatives from across the political spectrum - the march is not politically aligned in any way. read full story / add a comment

Good news for the Left and progressives in general today, when the FT revealed that 30% of people in Germany, Europe's biggest economy and the world's second* largest exporter, "attributed the financial market crisis to ... the 'failure of capitalism'" rather than "to 'abuses of capitalism'. Or, as the Financial Times newspaper themselves put it: "Majorities in the UK, France, Spain, Italy and the US attributed the financial market crisis to “abuses of capitalism” rather than the “failure of capitalism”. The Germans were more divided, with 46 per cent blaming abuses, and 30 per cent saying capitalism itself had failed." read full story / add a comment
