*n the later 1920s and early 1930s, with Moss Twomey as chief-of-staff and
figures such as Peader O’Donnell, Frank Ryan, Michael Price, David
Fitzgerald and George Gilmore in the leadership, and in the context of the
Great Depression and the ruthless right-wing economics of the ruling Free
State party Cumann na nGaedheal, the IRA moved developed clearly
leftwards.  It initiated a left-wing party, Saor Eire in 1931.  It was
viciously denounced as “communist” by the Catholic hierarchy and banned by
the repressive Free State regime.  There were also differences in the IRA,
as the rightist elements were uncomfortable at SE’s radical social
programme and did not like the idea of standing up to the Catholic
hierarchy on social issues.  SE lasted only a matter of months. *

*The IRA then abandoned trying to build a political formation and simply
continued as a military-political organisation.  In 1933 it adopted the
programme below.*

Is Suzi Weissman right that the Barnes cult wrote to Havana to try to get
the Trotsky conference banned?

I know they're appalling and have already crossed the class line several
times, but this still seems a bit unbelievable/

Knowing that a US war on Iran would weaken his base, Trump is trying to
avoid a war with Iran. However, his demagogic attacks on the nuclear deal -
made to help get him elected - set him down that path. While he hardly
thinks five minutes into the future and has no long term strategy, his two
main advisors - Bolton and Pompeo - do and they have maneuvered him towards
war. Although war is far from certain, given the chain of events so far,
it's difficult to see a scenario in which it won't happen.

Here are the factors as I see them:

[Marxism] Social Democracy and Imperialism

Thanks for the Left Voice article. It accurately pinpoints imperialism as
the material basis for the rise of labor aristocracy and bureaucracy, but
it fails to address the real role of Karl Kautsky in relation to WWI. Since
the title of the article is "Social Democracy and Imperialism: The Problem
with Kautsky" this seems like a very important omission.

Kautsky was a centrist in regards to war, advocating an abstention on the
vote in the Reichstag when the key vote on the war budget came up in August
1914. Later he opposed the war. Kautsky's attitude to WWI was very much
like the attitude of Bernie Sanders et. al. to modern day US imperialism
(which was addressed by Left Voice) of giving it "critical support".

This is in fact key to the in and out strategy of DSA and Sanders which
mobilizes around reforms addressing the needs of the working class, and
oppressed such as Medicare for all, tuition free education, and the Green
New Deal, but ties those mobilized to the Democratic Party, a central
institution of imperialism.

Too fucking much.

"Remarkably, the American Socialist Workers Party - formerly a 
Trotskyist organisation and currently a Castroist sect - wrote a letter 
calling on the government to ban the conference."
