Ieri il governo irlandese ha annunciate i dettagli relative al piano quadriennale previsto dall'intervento di "salvataggio" delle banche ad opera di FMI e BCE. Sono previsti €5 miliardi di nuove tasse e €10 miliardi di tagli nel cosiddetto "Ripresa Nazionale" che in realtà impegnerà il 10% del PIL. Come cercheremo di dimostrare, quasi tutti questi costi saranno pagati dai lavoratori, in particolare da quelli a salario più basso, cioè da coloro che hanno tratto poco o nessun beneficio dagli anni del boom. Quell'1% più ricco della popolazione non viene toccato, soprattutto sul versante dell'evasione fiscale ed in particolare della loro abilità di evitare di non pagare affatto le tasse, ossia nei casi dove passano 6 mesi di vacanze all'estero all'anno.

Yesterday the Irish government announced the details of the four year plan required as part of the ECB / IMF ‘bailout’ of the banks. There will be five billion worth of new taxes and 10 billion worth of cuts under this so called ‘National Recovery’ which in reality will take 10% out of GDP. As we show below almost all these costs are being dumped on workers, particularly low paid workers, the very sector that gained little or nothing during the boom years. the richest 1% are left with most of their legal tax dodges in particular the ability to avoid paying tax at all if they spend 6 months on holidays out of the country.

Het is nu officieel, de Ierse staat is in gesprek met de EU en het IMF over een zogenaamd "reddingsplan" om de Ierse kapitalistische klasse uit te kopen uit de ramp die is geschapen door de internationale ineenstorting van het kapitalistische economische systeem. Een crisis die in Ierland werd verergerd door de corruptie van lokaal boezemvrienden kapitalisme aan de ene kant en de afhankelijkheid van de economie van "globalisering" aan de andere kant.

Οι μέθοδοι που χρησιμοποιούμε για να κερδίσουμε αυτόν τον αγώνα, η γενική απεργία, η συνέλευση γειτονιάς, η δημιουργία ενός τεράστιου συντονιστικού δικτύου είναι οι τρόποι που μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε για να αποσπάσουμε την εξουσία από το 1% και να οικοδομήσουμε μια κοινωνία απαλλαγμένη από την ανισότητα και χωρίς την ισχυρή , διεφθαρμένη ελίτ που διευθύνει τη ζωή μας. read full story / add a comment

It's now official, the Irish state is in talks with the EU and the IMF about a so called 'rescue plan' to bail out the Irish capitalist class from the disaster created by the international crash of the capitalist economic system. A crisis that was magnified in Ireland by the corruption of local crony capitalism on the one hand and the dependency of the economy on 'globalization' on the other. Trapped between such a cast of crooks and idiots it is perhaps not surprising that many in Ireland hope things will be improved when the running of our lives will be handed over to those who many hope might have a clue.

L'intervento del FMI comporterà un incremento dei tagli, la crescita della disoccupazione ed un ciclo di impoverimento in cui i pochi che avranno ancora un lavoro guadagneranno sempre meno col conseguente collasso di gran parte di quello che rimane dell'economia locale. Un "salvataggio" da parte del FMI significa un abbassamento tale dei salari e dei livelli di vita in Irlanda da permettere al capitale internazionale di cogliere l'occasione e di guardare ai lavoratori irlandesi come forza lavoro a cui offrire salari da povertà.

ireland / britain / the left / news report Friday October 15, 2010 23:33 by andrew
Along with other left groups the Workers Solidarity Movement has launched the 1% Network in Dublin which held its first succesful event last Saturday, a walking tour through one of the richest bits of the city. Because Ireland was so globalised internationally and so dependant on a property boom domestically the crisis is deeper here than almost anywhere else in the world. Savage cuts have been imposed on workers and the unemployed with more to come as the cost of the bank bailout exceeds 50 billion, an immense figure for a population just over 4 million. The 1% Network aims to shift the conversation away from 'everyone's to blame to making the richest 1% who benefited the most from the boom carry the costs of the crash. read full story / add a comment

Despite the escalating costs for the working class of the crisis in Ireland resistance has fallen off ever since the pro partnership leadership of the unions succeeded in getting the Croke park deal passed by the membership. The deal makes vague promises not to impose further pay cuts on the public sector in return for large scale restructuring but was conditional on the economic situation not declining further. Yesterday saw the unions return to the streets with a press call that the left, including the anarchist movement, tried to push into a demonstration. That morning in a rather unusual individual action a man parked a slogan covered cement lorry in the gates of the Dail (parliament building) blocking access. These articles from the WSM site report on these events and include the speech delivered by a WSM member at the protest. read full story / add a comment

Nel luglio del 1914, l'Associazione dei Compagni Comunisti Anarchici di Shanghai pubblica i suoi principi in un documento che si conclude con questa risoluzione: "la realizzazione del comunismo anarchico dipende dalla forza del nostro partito. Se vogliamo dare più forza al nostro partito, il nostro compito più importante oggi è essere uniti come un corpo solo ed avanzare insieme. Dovunque si trovino, i nostri compagni dovrebbero unirsi con coloro con i quali condividono gli stessi scopi al fine di costituirsi in gruppi liberamente associati". L'esponente chiave di questo gruppo era un anarchico cinese conosciuto come Shifu che sarebbe poi morto solo 9 mesi dopo. Sebbene il gruppo avesse proseguito le attività anche dopo la morte di Shifu, i concetti chiave di quella risoluzione non saranno mai messi in pratica.

At 9:30 Saturday morning, people gathered on O'Connell Street In Dublin to protest against the presence of war criminal and ex British prime-minister Tony Blair. Blair arrived at Easons at around 10am for the book-signing of his recent autobiography, escorted and protected by a sizable gardai presence. Despite the heavy rain, hundreds of protestors took part. At least one protester managed to get past the heavy security to try to make a citizens arrest of Blair for his war crimes. It is reported that Blair is now considering cancelling his London appearance. read full story / add a comment

Τον Ιούλιο του 1914, ο Σύνδεσμος Αναρχικών Κομμουνιστών Συντρόφων της Σαγκάης δημοσίευσε μια Διακήρυξη Αρχών, ολοκληρώνοντας με την απόφαση: «Η εφαρμογή του αναρχικού κομμουνισμού εξαρτάται από τη δυναμική του κόμματός μας. Εάν θέλουμε να αυξήσουμε την δυναμική του κόμματός μας, η ενοποίησή μας ως ένα σύνολο και η από κοινού ανάπτυξή μας είναι το πιο σημαντικό μας καθήκον σήμερα. Όπου και αν βρίσκονται όλοι οι σύντροφοί μας θα πρέπει να ενωθούμε με εκείνους που μοιράζονται τους ίδιους σκοπούς δημιουργώντας ομάδες με βάση την ελεύθερη ένωση”. read full story / add a comment

The decade long struggle against the construction of an experimental raw gas pipeline by Shell as part of its Corrib gas project continued in the west of Ireland with further direct actions against the project and the opening of a public hearing by the planning authority on the latest phase of Shell's plan. Meanwhile the irish government continues to give away hundreds of billions of oil & gas reserves to corporations. These two reports published on the WSM site this week explain the latest developments. read full story / add a comment

In July 1914, the Shanghai Association of Anarchist Communist Comrades published its statement of principles, concluding with the resolution that, "the implementation of anarchist communism depends on the strength of our party. If we wish to increase our party's strength, uniting as a whole body and advancing together is our most important task today. Wherever they are, all our comrades should unite with those who share the same purposes and establish groups in free association.” The key member of this group was a Chinese anarchist known as Shifu who was to die a mere nine months later. Although the group carried on after his death, the core concept of this paragraph was never to be implemented. [Ελληνικά] [Italiano] [Nederlands] read full story / add a comment

At least 600 arrests took place at the G20 summit in Toronto as police used considerable force to break up protests. Media reports& video (below) indicate that many of the beaten were journalists covering the protest. The G20 was meeting to co-ordinate further attacks on the global working class. This is what the coded statements from the G20 about 'austerity budgets' and 'cutting deficits' will mean in practice. This despite the "risk that synchronised fiscal adjustment across several major economies could adversely impact the recovery" acknowledged in the final G20 communique.
