[Marxism] The IRA Constitutional and Governmental Programme for the Republic 1933

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.* https://theirishrevolution.wordpress.com/2019/05/24/the-ira-constitutional-and-governmental-programme-for-the-republic-1933/?fbclid=IwAR3IhzRFJoc-mMjvckIeknYLDJYv7UWYsRwvT4Y89C0v6LbUOqlr3AN-btI _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

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: https://oaklandsocialist.com/2019/05/26/us-and-iran-coming-even-closer-to-war/ -- *“In politics, abstract terms conceal treachery.” *from "The Black Jacobins" by C.

[Marxism] Social Democracy and Imperialism
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * 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.
