Is Keir Starmer autistic? His public persona (or lack of), absence of interpersonal skills and obsessively technocratic outlook might lead us to conclude so. But that would be unfair on autistic people, says Steven Tucker.

The consequences of the theoretical division between Bakunin and Marx have been huge. Historically we have seen, not a unified labour movement, but in fact three main components of the movement – Labourism, as well as Marxism/socialism and anarcho-syndicalism.

There have been sporadic attempts to link the two main components:
• Joseph Dietzgen’s turn to assist the victims of the Haymarket "bomb.
• Daniel Guerin’s anarchist publications.
• The German council communists’.
• The Friends of Durruti Group’s.

But these are a few exceptions, and the barriers of division are continually being erected with scares, smears and misinformation. If we are to even think of winning the common struggle, some unity will have to be reached and the truth about past events, beyond Marx and Bakunin, both clarified and placed firmly in the history books. ... read full story / add a comment

Kerry gets nowhere because he says he would do the same thing Bush did, only differently.

'What I want to do is change the dynamics on the ground,' Kerry volunteered. 'And you have to do that by beginning to not back off of Falluja and other places and send the wrong message to terrorists. You've got to show you're serious.' Right on, John!"

“Israel has the right to defend and to protect itself” is one of the empty phrases which Americans constantly repeat. What they really mean each time when they repeat this phrase is that they have abandoned all attempts to conceal the fact that they have become but a satrapy of Israel, and that they can do nothing to deny Israel the "right" to occupy the West Bank and Gaza, the right to "protect" the settlers and ITF occupation and the continued violations of human rights. Israel has the right to kill, to steal, to arrest, to demolish ... to do just anything. ... read full story / add a comment

Below is an article by well known Indy media commentator Marc Mulholland. It is possibly the best and most honest explanation of a pro war stance that I have come across and raises many interesting points for debate.

Gambling on Revolution
For those who supported the Iraq War as a punt on the prospects of
detonating democratic revolution in the country and by extension in the region – sections of the Neocon Right and the Liberal Left – the question of realism is critical if we are not to be condemned as dilettante utopians. ... read full story / add a comment

The video of Margaret Hassan really appalls me. This woman should be released immediately. How utterly shameful that this woman, an Irish citizen, too, should be humiliated like this. Yet again, Indymedia Ireland is silent on this embarrassment to their fellow travellers' unjust cause. Just check out Liverpool Indymedia's churlish silence on Ken Bigley. Where are the Senator Mary Henry's and the Naomi Klein's appealing for her life? She must be released immediately. Freedom must prevail. ... read full story / add a comment
