First ever daily basque-language newspaper Egunkaria was closed down by the Spanish state in 2003, 18 journalists and administrators arrested and five tortured. Five journalists are now on trial by Spanish Court for alleged links to armed group ETA. However the Spanish State Prosecutor said that there is no evidence and the case should be dropped, whereupon the Spanish state permitted two right-wing organisations to proceed with the prosecution. Ainara Mendiola, Coordinator of the defence campaign in the basque Country, will be speaking at public meetings in Dublin on Tuesday 2nd February. read full story / add a comment

Ireland is just like all countries fighting for a socialist government where revolutionary organisations have to take on the state as well as outside interference and occupation. The same struggle is being waged by socialist revolutionaries in countries such as Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, Iraq, the basque Country and of course Turkey (to name but a few) as is being waged in Ireland. We here today share a common bond, a struggle against imperialism. James Connolly wrote that “an injury to one is an injury to all” so we must show solidarity with each other and stand together. Isolation [as the conference is so aptly named] is a powerful tool of the oppressor. We must not let the oppressor have that tool. We must wrest it back from him and use it to become stronger. Isolation can led to despair and we all know where despair leads to. This we cannot let happen. read full story / add a comment

These comments are from a number of Comrades mainly from a CWI and IMT background. But we think they will find an echo with Comrades from many other left backgrounds. We have concluded that the internal life of just about every left group is unhealthy, overly centralized, too top down, even we would go so far as saying to some extent undemocratic. We believe that the internal lives of these groups draw from the period when the Bolshevik party was degenerating and being taken over by Stalinism and along with that became negatively influenced by many decades when they were isolated from the mass workers movement. The recent crisis in the IMT is a reflection of these false methods of organizing which are common to just about all revolutionary left groups. We try to discuss this here. We look forward to hearing from Comrades. See our Learning From the Past link and our blog address. John Throne. read full story / add a comment
