Greeting sent to international anarchist conference held by CGT in Spain on the weekend of March 31st.
The Workers Solidarity Movement of Ireland sends greetings to all attending the conference. We are sorry that we can not be with you today. Unfortunately we had already arranged - for the same dates - a gathering to promote anarchism in Ireland.
We support this initiative, and wish the conference every success. We look forward to greater international co-operation among anarchists.
The ruling class are continually extending their co-operation to advance their 'Fortress Europe', their attacks on trade union independence, their neo-liberal agenda.
We need to increase our common activity in opposition to these assaults on our interests.
We also need to step up our co-operation to increase the visibility of anarchism as the alternative to capitalism. Our aim is not just to defend what little we enjoy today, or to merely force our rulers to concede a little more. These are good and necessary activities but they are not sufficient in themselves.
Our goal is to assist our class in overthrowing capitalism and building a society based on socialism, freedom and participatory democracy - to turn the anarchist vision into reality.
