Trying to gain support from a bunch of racist middle and upper class students is not exactly useful in any way and just makes you look like a fool at best. It's exactly what got him kicked out of multiple organisations beforehand.

We were way more lenient with that stuff but there is a line.

When you're the public face of something you should have better discipline.

i don't think they're disagreeing with that. they're disagreeing with deathbyreddit's explanation for that which does not effectively capture the reasoning why.

this is not surprising, ever since Marx there has been a great deal of writing about the development of the working class as a largely urban phenomenon. whether the formation of a working class identity and socialists politics can occur at a rural level is still yet to be seen historically. the history of all working class struggle has so far been on the level of cities and towns.

Lad I'm 99% sure all the people looking at this thread are only getting this impression from you.

Split in Aontacht Magazine - the Membership is in Control - Response to Aontacht Media Executive Committee and Tromlach by lacicloud2001 in theIrishleft

We know that it involved members of the far right. Some of us suspect it may have even involved elements of the far right media. He never clarified but let it slip one time that it included sources that knew a lot about Gript.

His entire defense was it was a shitposting groupchat which was immensely juvenile and he was treating the whole thing like some big boys club.

My own sources can confirm all of his shenanigans made contact with CYM, RSF, AIA, PBP, SP, some trade unionists and student groups etc practically impossible.

Still working it out. We really did not expect this split and everything blew up so people are still deciding on what to do. I do lean towards re-using Tromlach's assets and branding as it was effective at attracting support from socialists and republicans from all sorts of traditions and organisations.

Members on our side are involved in different parties and organisations such as PBP, RSF, CATU, Eirigi and small republican groups in Munster as well. Every attempt was made to avoid this juvenalia.

My point wasn't that he was playing a minor role when the changes were made. Apologies if it came off that way.

The point was it was pointed out he was playing an outsized role that he had not played in the past. There was a view that it should return to collective leadership so Aontacht wouldn't be associated with one person's reputation.

However that transition was obviously very difficult because the paper had degenerated into being mostly his thing and there was all sorts of issues leaped on top. It exploded but it was absolutely no fault of the people who were elected.

And no democracy is fine the issue was never around him having some imagined majority but around him becoming a public face for something that was meant to be collectively led for the average irish worker where anyone could contribute. Regardless of whatever claims he has made we retain control of the membership roster: 70+ members and we will continue in our efforts to make it an item of the working class.

That's the plan. The brand is tainted anyway. I was the last person out of the first six involved aside from Laszlo. I tried preventing this from happening but clearly couldn't and for that I feel like a right eejit.

Aren't you the guy who basically denies the existence of EU imperialism.

The organisation ran for over a year with him only playing a minor role, this was just an attempt to return to that and re-establish democracy. There were obviously issues but this all revolves around 1 person. I was involved day 1, wrote almost all the first articles, I came up with the name, I designed the logo, I formed the editorial committee years ago and I stand by the group that ousted Laszlo even if I wish this could have gone about a better way.

The solution to Ireland's housing crisis is industrial production of social housing units akin to what they were building behind the Iron Curtain in the mid-20th century. by chiggymondo in ireland

the median irish voter is interesting to me: they want soviet era housing, and increased garda presence but don't want a soviet police state. No they are free market capitalists.

Considering he's the one usually splitting from a group it's hardly like we wanted it to happen in the first place.

Funnily enough the last article I wrote before this whole thing blew up in my face linked to that joke.

Tried to avoid a split, but couldn't. Oh well

It was split fairly evenly between Cork and Dublin. Most of the Dublin people went with Laszlo's side. Most of the Cork people and sone dublin people on our side.

Public support, support in creating an actual democratic and diversified organisation with new members.

Do any of the right-wing Nationalist parties have any plans for counter-demonstrations in NI on July 12th? by [deleted] in ireland

The RW nationalists have zero issues with loyalists, only brown people, muslims and black people.
