international / worker & community struggles and protests Friday October 15, 2010 - 17:57 by john throne
the Chilean miners rescue was watched by tens of millions of people worldwide. These workers are now heros internationally for their great collective struggle underground to stay alive. Unfortunately they are now being corralled by the Chilean President and his right wing capitalist allies. Instead these heroic workers should be organized to go on a Chilean wide and world wide tour to organize the unorganized, to oppose the attacks on workers and to put forward the democratic socialist alternative. ... read full story / add a comment

Inaugural Raymond Crotty Lecture: Ireland in Crisis, Radical Alternatives (Kilkenny, 15th October; Dublin 16 October)
national / anti-capitalism Wednesday October 13, 2010 - 22:48 by O. O'C.   image 2 images
Raymond Crotty's intellectual significance was recognised outside of Ireland as is evidenced by extracts from reviews of his last book, When Histories Collide, 2001, by Professor Charles Tilly, historian and sociologist, University of Columbia, New York:

"Raymond Crotty has the knack of seeing form the ground up processes that others have viewed from the top down. He had the agronomic and comparative experience to recognize what he was seeing. The result is a fresh, challenging, at times astonishing set of insights into relations between agriculture and civilization."

'Ireland in Crisis, Radical Alternatives', Lecture by Professor Lars Mjøset, University of Oslo, Norway in memory of Raymond Crotty. Butler House, 16 Patrick Street, Kilkenny, 15th October, 7.30 p.m. and Ireland Institute, 27 Pearse Street, Dublin, 16th October at 3.00 p.m.
Both lectures are organised by the People's Movement. ... read full story / add a comment

The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) today welcomed the government’s refusal to grant Israel Military Industries the contract to supply 10 million bullets to the Irish Defence Forces. The contract for the 5.56 x 45mm rounds, to be bought over a five-year period, has instead gone to Belgian and Brazilian arms manufacturers. Over the past seven months the IPSC had been running a campaign (http://www.ipsc.ie/bullets) against the granting of the contract to any Israeli company, which saw the organisation and its supporters lobbied the government, undertook a letter writing campaign and protested outside the Defence Minister Tony Killeen’s constituency office in Co.
