Fantastic speeches at Occupy Dame St shows up United Left and the other political parties out there

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Sunday November 13, 2011 16:04author by passer by Report this post to the editors

Who needs leaders and talking shops, people are doing it for themselves

After the March there were some fantastic speeches on topics such as Ireland pulling out of the Euro and grassroots Democracy at Occupy Dame St yesterday shows up United Left Alliance and SWP lack of action on very important issues

I was lucky to be passing the central bank yesterday after the March which unfortunately  due to public transport cutbacks I ended up  being too late to participate on. However there were some fantastic speeches on  topics such as Ireland pulling out of the Euro and creating a more direct grassroots democracy at Occupy Dame St yesterday shows up United Left and SWP lack of action on important issues.  I have previously attended a couple of United Left meetings and the speeches I heard yesterday were far more authentic and convincing than any I heard at the ULA talking shops. Perhaps one of the reasons was there was no chair to block important issues such as  the Euro being discussed and causing embarrassment to the party leaders and TD's.

One republican chap called Peadar gave a passionate speech on why Ireland should leave the Euro as soon as possible.  Another speaker made strong points about the democratic travesty of the Irish people being forced to  have a second vote on the Lisbon referendum because our leaders didnt like the result. Long may the Occupy movement  hold its ground at the central  bank and expose the truth that the media and our political parties of the right and left keeps hidden from the Irish people.  People are beginning to hear the truth and that really is a threat to the powers that be. Lets build a counter culture and raise uncomfortable issues such as  leaving the euro, grassroots democracy and breaking the conventions that our leaders  dont want to touch. ODS is doing more to help free our minds than all the political class put together.
