Community development work aims to give people a voice, encourage people to participate in society and to take collective action. The cutbacks combined with the work of community people on the ground and trade unionists seeking action have prompted people to do all three. Yesterday (September 30th) between 12,000 and 15,000 people protested in Dublin against Community cutbacks.

Irish Society and Politics - Decadent - Decadent societies are often prosperous but usually have severe social and economic inequality, to such a degree that the upper class becomes either complacent or greedy, while the lower classes become hopeless and apathetic. The middle class may exhibit either or both patterns, or it may vanish entirely. Poor leadership is generally held to be both a cause and a symptom of decadence, as the lifestyle of a decadent individual is usually considered to be incompatible with responsibility.

Um pardon me if I am wrong, but 20 years ago were we not objecting to public funding of community based projects as a "cheap bargain bin" alternative to providing real, permanent and properly funded public services?

Neofeudalism literally means "new feudalism" and implies a contemporary rebirth of policies of governance and economy reminiscent of those present in many pre-industrial feudal societies. The concept is one in which government policies are instituted with the effect (deliberate or otherwise) of systematically increasing the wealth gap between the rich and the poor while increasing the power of the rich and decreasing the power of the poor (also see wealth condensation). This effect is considered to be similar to the effects of traditional feudalism.
