This posting by the Communist Party of Ireland further exposes their Stalinist illusions in the "progressive" Bourgeois. The left should not sow illusions in so-called left-liberals such as Greens, Labour & Sinn Féin. The CPI say they are Marxists, yet they "lobby" openly pro-capitalist politicians with the aim of influencing the new Government's policies. If the CPI were really Marxists they would realise that big business influences pro-capitalist Parties and Governments NOT emails from working class people. The CPI must have now completely given up on working class struggle and now seem to be nothing more than a soft left lobby group crossed with a political discussion club.
FYI Just Attended a pre negotiation meeting recently and members were coming out strongly on issue of shannon. Sundays member vote should be interesting. Personally I am hoping that they will make movement on shannon a deal breaker

So when Joe was the tactical group leader of the Independents in the Dail, did he have a prolonged momentary lapse of proletarian reason? Was he not engaging in bourgeois delusions?
Is a new line developing now that the SP don't have any TD's? Grassroots activism good - Engagement with the Dail bad.
joe was great in the dail, whatever his reasons for being there. The only Pity is that the proletariat decided in their infinite wisdom not to vote him back. We have all lost out because of their decision. Well I guess democracy is a reflection of the will of the people but it doesn't necessarily translate into wisdom.
so what were the options on shannon
some suggestions put forward, more or less in order of popularity
(1)total deal breaker if no agreement on cessation of use
(2)full referendum on neutrality
(3)watertight legal locking down any further use of irish airports for military purposes (to prevent iran use / creep to knock etc) and phasing out current use
(4)mandatory searches, more transparency (probably useless in practice)
