Why do we need SF to hold our hands to incubate dual power projects? This article is full of strange assumptions that the people of Ireland are some homogeneous, stupid worker bees following their leaders? Party politics is one way to create changes in the superstructures, albeit relatively small changes on the scale of things... But dual power is not owned by party politics and THAT'S THE POINT.
To think there is going to be a pure revolution in the west in 2021 is naive. We've built and continue to suck the resources from nations in the global south. The material wealth of our proletariat is high on the global scale of things. Material wealth directly affects our thirst for action and propensity for organisations and it's something that's well balanced by capitalist states to keep us down but just content enough at the same time.
I agree with a lot of the Irish language stuff, but the holier than thou ideologically purity is so boring at this stage. Stop complaining about parties in party politics doing exactly what we vote for them to do, and put some energy in to the dual power projects we so desperately need.
Lenin said we have common goals with social democrats on our way to socialism... These goals will disintegrate come the time of communism. But I am sick to death of so called big republicans spouting their armchair politics at community workers and people who vote for parties within the neo-lib structures. We are on the same side and your points can be made without condemning the efforts and clear progress that has been made in this hell-hole in the past 50 years. My relatives, family friends and their relatives were not tortured, killed and interned to all of a sudden be considered traitors in your eyes for voting for SF. There is a vehicle for a united Ireland in front of us. Use it- whilst working on empowering communities. These things are not mutually exclusive.
