The SP supports non-revolutionary figures like Chavez, while with-holding support from revolutionaries fighting to overthrow capitalism. This stance is contradictory. Working class unity is a utopian goal until the political and social forces that maintains sectarianism are dismantled. ... read full story / add a comment

Indymedia contributors should start to think now about how this site will report the strike called for March 30th. There is no certainty that the strike will go ahead, some deal may yet be done to avert it, but if the stoppage does go ahead we need to report it in a way that befits the occasion. A national strike would have profound significance both nationally and internationally. Up to a million people will be involved one way or the other, the world will be watching Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment

Amnesty's report on weapons used by both sides in Gaza finds much to condemn. http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE15/012/2009/....html The group is particularly hard on the U.S., having found numerous remains of American munitions -- including white phosphorus shells from Pine Bluff Arsenal, and a Hellfire missile made in Orlando. Another weapon which bothers Amnesty is a mysterious munition, filled with cubic particles. This type of ultra-precise strike capability is supposed to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties. So we turn once again to Garlasco's comment, from an earlier conflict: "It is unfortunate that these weapons are being developed specifically for use in densely populated areas which may negate the intended effect." ... read full story / add a comment
