Instead of a greedy Thatcherite-style capitalism, there was supposed to be a more caring society, with fewer class divisions. But it was always a myth. The Celtic tiger produced the second highest level of poverty in the developed world and fell down on the Human Development Index complied by a United Nations agency. The real model for the Celtic tiger was the deregulated gung-ho capitalism of the United States, where few taxes are demanded of the rich and workers are asked to put up with low wages and run-down public services. Come along to an informal talk on "Class and the Celtic Tiger" by sociologist Kieran Allen. All Welcome to the basement bar of the Imperial Hotel, Tralee! This Thursday 30 August at 7.30 Hosted by Tralee Socialist Workers Party read full story / add a comment

The Sunday newspapers have shown great coverage of the Labour Party leadership contest after the resignation of Pat Rabbitte. However, for most left-wing activists the clash between Socialist Party's Joe Higgins and the Socialist Workers' Party's Richard Boyd-Barrett is very interesting. RBB cited the Party's "socialist roots" while Higgins said Labour are not a working class party and will not turn socialist. read full story / add a comment

In this very interesting report from Montreal Canada, we get a glimpse at some of the undercover activities of the state and police forces which are there to protect capitalism. What is reported is that an undercover cop was caught on video throwing rocks at a protest. Clearly the state and police are working hard all the time to manipulate public opinion to believe that protesters always mean violence and are associated with criminals. When they don't get the result that they want, they then go out and make it so. This is not unique to just the place where this report comes from. read full story / add a comment

Here a group of Iranian antiwar activists make clear their feelings about Iran and the support it gets from some on the left. They say: Iran is part of the world imperialist-capitalist system And its contradictions with U.S. imperialism will not change the nature of this regime. Recently we read an article “Standing up to Islamophobia” published in Socialist Worker Online (US). As a group of Iranian antiwar activists, we respond to this article concerning the direction of the antiwar movement. We think that the position of SW(US) is not in the interest of international proletarian revolution and must be opposed based. The position that the ISO is theorizing asserts that the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) regime is a progressive and anti-imperialist in nature. We do not believe so, and intend to show that IRI regime is dependent and part of the world imperialist-capitalist system. Its contradictions with U.S. imperialism will not change the nature of this regime. read full story / add a comment

There's probably nothing much in this, but today's Spiegel reports that several German ministry computers in their Federal government have been found to contain a cunning trojan backdoor exploration thingy which came from China. Of course they already have one that comes from the NSA in the USA, & heck - Real Player invented the whole commercial backdoor thing ( I know Richard Stallman just told me on a youtube video ). & then there was yer man Mohammad Afroze Abdul Razzak who infiltrated Microsoft on behalf of Al Qaeda coz back in 2001 coz they knew Microsoft were infiltrating your computers. So really at the end this is just about language practise & helping you feel European & most of all not getting too cocky about your hardware, software or extensions. All the major powers are in there & the arch-villains from Fu Manchu to Bill Sikes. read full story / add a comment

For the tenth time since 1978 the Guardia Civil barracks at Durango, Bilbo/Bilbao has been attacked by ETA. This morning's carbomb is reported as having held approximately 70kg of explosives and shrapnel. 2 members of the Guardia Civil have resulted injured. At present there has been no confirmation from the terrorist organisation that they are responsible for the attack, but it is widely felt that this is their first succesful action since calling off their permenant ceasefire of March 2006 last June. read full story / add a comment
