Again I ask you....


1. Are you telling us that the OIRA the armed wing of the workers party doesn`t exist?

2. Are you saying the OIRA doesn`t control 4 or 5 drinking dens in West Belfast, where drugs are openly peddled?

3. Are you saying that the sticks don`t exhort and rob?


4. Are you now saying that the stickies aren`t shooting youngsters in Belfast?
Henry the fantasist.


So the stickie apologist still refuses to answer...

So does the document linked here, which dates from about a year after the split

The Left Archive: “The Future is Socialism” from the Workers’ Party post-split 1993 The Cedar Lounge Revolution

I can;t remember if I mentioned this already, but The WP published Patterns of Betray: The Flight from Socialism in 1992, which collected the writings of both sides of the DL split. It can still be got from The WP office. It will be in the Cedar Lounge Revolution Left Archive at some point soonish I hope.
John Lowry.....now the stickie apologist is scrapping the barrel....

I was just looking at it a bit more and "liquidators" is the term that came to mind, if we look at them now trying to nurse in a FG government.

Entirely off-topic, but have the Trotskyist parties/groups ever engaged with national liberation in Ireland ?

Depends what you mean by that term. The SP has always opposed violence in the north. The SWP has given critical support to the Provos. Other groups like Socialist Democracy supported the Provos but no longer do so. Some Trotskyists supported the INLA, and there might still be some trotskyists in the IRSP I think.

The Saor Eire of the late 60s/early 70s were Trots.

The officials are running the heroin trade in Finglas, I could name them but that would be libel.

Heroin is a majior weapon in the arsenal of the Southern establishment so its no surprise that the same people who did everything they could to lend support to the British ruling class's stratergy of "Ulsterization, Criminalization and Normalization" would also be involved in the class war here (on the bosses' side of course).

Anyone selling heroin in Ireland should be defined as an anti-Nationalist.

As for Soar Eire being trots - well more like trots having a wet dream over them rather than any of them ever reading the great mans work
