The Progressive Film Club is a voluntary organisation that has been established to show progressive films—in the broadest sense of that term—from all over the world. Struggles for people’s rights, for the rights of workers, of immigrants, of women, for national liberation and for social justice are some of the themes of the outstanding films we have shortlisted, most of them never shown before in Ireland. Showings are on Sunday evenings at the New Theatre in East Essex Street. Booking through Connolly Books—or come early to avoid disappointment. read full story / add a comment

I spent about 10 years involved in voluntary community initiatives like local publishing, charity concerts, youth concerts. My motivation at that time was intensely political and leftist. I believed that the economy was a machine run by the merciless logic of profit and that any involvement in it meant unacceptable compromise. Therefore, my own political principles meant that I marginalised myself from any formal involvement with it. On the sidelines, from my Comfortable And Quite Elevated Chair of Ideological Analysis, it was crystal clear to me that Community Development was just a con-job. It was a ploy by The Elite to sap the revolutionary vigour of the people and co-opt potential revolutionaries. read full story / add a comment

Reports are coming of a large fire at the Shell Refinery Site at Bellanaboy, Erris County Mayo.

Large quantities of building materials, discarded plastic pipe, netting and rubber mats were piled up on the bog, and it is reported that these have caught fire. read full story / add a comment

Anarchism has traditionally been hostile to all religions because by their very nature they tend to be authoritarian. A supernatural creator who sets the rules is naturally considered to be the ultimate source of authority. And its authority means humanity’s obedience. If there is a god, it would, in the words of Bakunin, be necessary to abolish him. But a creator doesn’t exist, so we are left with the more mundane task of spreading the good news that values aren’t handed down from on high, but emerge from human society. read full story / add a comment

What No fanfare. I'm suprised at the lack of comment. I would have assumed as Time for Change are simply a left wing election vehicle they would have been crowing proudly at their excellent election result in the NIPSA GC election. NIPSA Unity on the other hand I would expect to be more pragmatic and modest. Let's face it they do have a lot to be modest about!! read full story / add a comment
