A meeting to discuss whether we are now living in, or may soon be living in, a fascist era.

On Holocaust Martyrs Remembrance Day, Fairview Against the War is holding a meeting to discuss whether we are now living in, or may soon be living in, a fascist era. What is fascism and what distinguishes it from democracy ? We shall explore these issues by examining the behaviour of the institutions of civil society.

Harry Browne was sacked by the Irish Times for his anti-war stance and he will talk about the control of the media and the subversion of a free press.

Aisling Reidy is director of the Irish Council of Civil Liberties, and she will discuss the erosion of civil liberties in the post-9/11 world.

Pitstop Ploughshares have been invited to share their experiences of the isolation of activists who have dared to cross the line – their persecution by the Right and desertion by the organised Left.

Mary Kelly will chair the meeting.

We invite all those concerned about these vital questions to attend the meeting at the Teachers Club, Parnell Square, at 3pm on Sunday April 18th.
