Authoritarian Government Always Suppresses Free Speech ? But the Worst Part is the Public Joins In Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:00 | Sallust
Authoritarian government always suppresses free speech, but the worst part is that the public joins in, says Sallust, as he sees lessons in the 1939 writings of Nora Waln, who saw the iron fist coming down before her eyes.

Last I heard of this place was called Ireland, I think you need to dye your sash red again and interact with the natives a bit more John.
the dispute is in the 26 county (vichy) area, so JT can be forgiven for referring to southern ireland.
Are there no electricians in Donegal? If there are, why did they not go on strike with their fellow workers in Southern Ireland?
:)
you sound like churchill the phat version with that "southern ireland nonsense".
anyways the sparkies of La France have come up brill.

One of the features of European Life during the War on Fascism which we generally hold to have been fought between 1939 and 1945 though there are many who see the the War in Spain as it's start, and even those who reckon it began in 1914, was the "black out" or "power out-tage" as they say in Jonh Throne land.

It says something about indymedia and its editors that when one is putting up a story one can't catogorise it under a 'trade union' or 'industrial action' topic.
That you'll complain on the newswire rather than contact indymedia volunteers with a suggestion.
Are there people who read indymedia who are interested in supporting the electricians. Are there people on indymedia who are interested in discussing how the struggle of the electricians and the struggle against the bin charges and the coming elections could be developed into a more powerful workers movement. If so I think they should speak up. I this would be a constructive way to use the space available on this site. I also think that it would be good for worker activists not to be too pure or too anything else to sit back and allow indymedia to be used in ways that are not particularly helpful to workers struggles. And finally I would like to propose as hinted at by someone else that indymedia have a section where we can place items which is headed trade union and workers struggles or something along these lines. And finally thank you to those who organize indymedia for making this medium available to us. John Throne
John, welcome to the world of indymedia.
John,
Indymedia are full of shite stirrers that are not interested in political debate. IF there was genuine debate here then it would be an excellant site. The tolerance of anonymous idiots that are not interested in debate has catagorised Indymedia as a bad website that serious people will not go onto.
John, you have repeatedly posted your "polemics" on this site. This has added to the shit stirring. Personally I'm completely turned off your arguments as they show ignorance of the situation in Ireland and an irrational hatred of all things CWI. It doesn't help your case when you team up with fellow Indymedia cranks and right-wingers to attack the SP at any chance.
So we have another person who won't give their name who claims to be an SP member and who condemns me for going on indymedia. However indymedia is fine for the SP when they want to announce some event of their. Such as the candidacy of the SP Comrades who are running in Letterkenny, see above. I support the candidacy of these Comrades by the way and would vote for them if I could. Just as I would vote for Joe Higgins if I could and other SP members. Comrades I hope that you get a good vote.
I have many disagreeements with Joe H and the SP such as your undemocratic internal life and your refusal to build an anti bin charges electoral front in these elections but I would support SP candidates where they represented the workers and left movement in an area. Why would I not. After all I recruited Joe Higgins to revolutionary politics in the first place and still consider him a fighter for working class people.
But what about the electricians vote for strike. Over 95%. What do you as an anonymous SP member have to say about this. I would have hoped that you would have taken your time here to call for support for the electricians rather than attack me. Maybe it is not me who has the "irrational hatred". I still think that it is a missed opportunity not to have had an anti bin tax electoral front in this election with which it would have been much easier to link the struggle of the electricians and target the celtic tiger and its vicious method of distributing its fruits mainly to the rich.
