So I'm posting a longer version of my paper here: read full story / add a comment

editor's note: the following disscusion was seperated from the original article to which it was a response when indymedia stole the jam jar and re-plagiarized the story into a front page feature
The following is an article from the October edition of the Socialist (newspaper of the Socialist Party) on Irish Ferries. If you read this article and then read the above article by the WSM you will clearly see that the WSM article has been plagiarised from the Socialist!

Let’s not miss a ‘subtle’ point; the right to protest is fundamental to a democratic society, let that right act as a barometer in any society that purports to uphold democratic values. read full story / add a comment

Every fortnight the Jack White branch of the WSM discuss a topic of interest to anarchists. This Tuesday we will be looking at the idea of a Moneyless Economy. Anarchists want a non-market socialist economy, with free access to goods and services. Is this just a nice but impossible idea? Is an efficient economy possible without money, trade or barter? These are informal meetings, and are open to anyone with an interest in anarchist politics . It will begin at nine pm and at ten we will continue the discussion in a local pub.
