IF someone changes the name of a nationality to make it fit better into a slogan (eg: from Pakistani to Paki) is this an indication of racism? Most of us would agree. If someone wants to get foreigners to leave this country, if they commit violent acts against foreign nationals in an attempt to make them leave, is this an indication of racism? Again, most of us would agree. ... read full story / add a comment

This is the text of a talk given last weekend at the Socialist Youth Summer camp in Co. Monaghan during a debate between Brian Cahill of the SP and James O Brien of the WSM. I am posting it here as, although there have been many anarchism vs. Leninism debates on Indymedia, they have rarely risen above simplistic distortions and slagging. Perhaps Brian could post his talk here as well and we could both sides of the debate. Maybe it’ll be different this time, or maybe that is extreme wishful thinking. ... read full story / add a comment

War in Iraq was inevitable. That there would be war was decided by North American planners in the mid-1920s; that it would be in Iraq was decided much more recently. The architects of this war were not military planners but town planners. War is inevitable not because of so-called weapons of mass destruction, as claimed by the political right, nor because of Western imperialism, as claimed by the left. The cause of this war is car dependence. ... read full story / add a comment

No political observer can afford to ignore or deny the fact that the Israeli government is still using all gimmicks manoeuvers to hinder the implementation of the international legitimacy resolutions concerning the Middle East problem. Observers and analysts do not need further evidence to find that Israel is still opposing all honest peace efforts being exerted by the Arabs in general and the Palestinian people in particular. By persisting in its intransigent policy Israel is not only standing against the international legitimacy resolutions, but also rejecting the very initiative, the roadmap, put forward by the US and other parties of the Quartet Committee, the UN, the EU and Russia. ... read full story / add a comment

The Irish Music Rights Organisation, and organisations like it around the world, administers licences for performing rights. Developed from copyright theory, performing rights act as a justification for prescriptive control, making it legitimate for one person to prescribe the actions of another unless a fee is paid. Have you ever given performing rights a second thought? have you ever questioned the validity of performing rights? Have you ever thought about the role of persuasion and coercion in the politics of copyright and performing rights? ... read full story / add a comment

As part of our series on past social and political movements in this country we conducted an interview with Aileen O’Carrol who has been involved in the pro-choice movement since SPUC (Society For The Protection of the Unborn Child) moved against the distribution of information on abortion.
