An Irish Marxist Blog. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Nationalist answers 2 – Greece. August 4, 2015. In the last post. I noted that one view on the Left in Scotland was that it was not possible to call for a vote or support for a reformist SNP because, through being reformist, it could not face down the intransigence of international capitalism when it tried to introduce reforms. One of the many evaluations of this experience is here. One line of argument in response might be that K...

An Irish Marxist Blog. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. The EU: neoliberalism and democracy – part 2. June 4, 2016. The imposition of austerity in the Eurozone for example is a policy choice determined by the conservative leadership of Germany and some other Northern European countries. In large part this is a reflection of the interests of their particular national capitalism, or its perceived interests, so not an inevitable feature of European capitalist integration.

On the other hand if workers are not prepared to react to crises by defending gains and can’t be radicalised sufficiently to achieve overthrow of the system, or have the social and economic power to do so, then socialists must accept that the limits placed on the scope of working class action at such times do not yet include the sy...

An Irish Marxist Blog. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Category Archives: The Left. Towards a Revolutionary Party in Ireland? August 8, 2016. A friend sent me a link. Of course being bad isn’t necessarily a good reason to review something but I read it in my lunch break anyway. The article gives three reasons why a revolutionary party must be built. The first is to bring together activists from Clondalkin and Ballyfermot, Artane and Dun Laoghaire, Cork and Sligo, Wicklow and Wexfo...

An Irish Marxist Blog. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. June 25, 2016. My daughter wrote in her Facebook page that I’ve attempted to write how disappointed and shocked I am over the results and I just can’t put it into words. My partner said she struggled to get to sleep because she was worried about Brexit, while earlier in the day she had long text conversations with her English cousins who were apologising for the result and (jokingly? Asking if they could come and live in Ireland.
