For almost twenty years those of us who argued for an alternative to capitalism were told There Is No Alternative (TINA). We were presented with two arguments, firstly that capitalism was resulting in increased prosperity across the world and over time there would be a trickle down of that prosperity so that even the poorest would benefit. And secondly that socialism meant dictatorship and inefficiency so whatever our ideals it was no real alternative.
Gaza: Against passivity in the face of the spectacle of slaughter
Date: Wed, 2009-01-28 12:59
Slaughter in Gaza. It's in the papers, on the radio, on the TV news. We stare numbed at the images of horror while eating our dinner. And then the spokespeople, one after another. Hamas are blaming Israel. Israel and the US are blaming Hamas. The Europeans and the rest of the world are blaming the US. One one thing they are all agreed, it's not their fault, the blood is on somebody else's hands. Meanwhile bloodied parents stagger through the streets of Gaza bearing the shattered bodies of their children.

This Saturday sees the launch of Queer Spraoi. In their own words Queer Spraoi
" is a project to engage queerness in Dublin on a new level. We organise events, such as gigs, film nights and workshops around the social centre Seomra Spraoi."
The event kicks off with a film screening of "Stonewall" a semi fictionalised account of the infamous riots
Heres a link to a piece a member of WSM, Paul McAndrew wrote about the series of violent clashes and riots and how their commemorations became the queer pride celebrations we know today at http://www.wsm.ie/news_viewer/2619
