12-13 Feb REVOLUTION national conference, London

[John_worldrevolution.info]

http://www.socialistrevolution.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/conference-leaflet.jpg



Over the last months, REVOLUTION has played a leading role in the national movement against fees and cuts. We have been key to important national actions like the mass walkout on 24 November, and local walkouts too. We have helped organise occupations at Camden School for Girls, Leeds University, University College London and LSBU.

At our national conference, we organise, debate, and learn how to turn our different struggles into a united revolutionary fight against the system in the year ahead.

Would you's think about the idea of setting up in Ireland, Belfast? There isn't any youth socialist partys here apart from the SP's youth group. A lot have been radiacalised and started thinking about socialism after the recennt protests. I think it would be a good time to start up a new socialist youth group.

[scarletghoul]

Not heard of this group before, how big are they and where are they active

They're the youth group for "Workers Power" I think.

[Crux]

It's Worker's Powers youth org.

[scarletghoul]

Oh, never mind then.

Workers Power used to have 3 people in Ireland, they accidentally expelled all 3 for supporting the Permanent Revolution split. The one guy who supported the main League for the Fifth International was kind of put off by the fact that he was expelled bureaucratically. I doubt they have much support for starting a Revolution group in Ireland.

Workers Power are active in Dublin but theres no REVOLUTION group. I think they would be able to get support amoungst the youth in Belfast.

There is a lot more support for it. But because the unique politics in Ireland people tend to either support the Nationalist or unionist party. Because Ireland is still occupied Republican partys get all the support.

There are a few socialist parties in Ireland with many members, certainly more in proportion than the socialist parties in England.

+ I was also laughing at the pitiful incompetence of a party that 'accidentally expelled all 3' members in one country..

Two big socialist republican Partys would be éirígí and the IRSP they aren't offically trots but have members who would be. The other groups are the SWP and SP though the SP are useless. There is also the WSM and Organise who are anarchists but not very big.

Why?

[Irish Left]

Why?

They have protests they arn't willing to take action at, they admit they won't get anywere through elections, they know the trade unions are useless. When I asked what they will do they said "work in the comunitys" so in reality, nothing.
At the protest against cutting ema and uni fees a few weeks ago they were actually shouting at people to get off the road. They did the same in Derry.
