Dublin Opinion

The new edition of Look Left, The Workers’ Party magazine is available now. List of outlets stocking it around the country are to be found below. Easons are stocking many more copies, I’m told. Let’s hope they’re looking for even more of the next edition. I’ve an article running in it too.

The editorial of the new edition of LookLeft calls on working people north and south to build a progressive alliance to challenge the policies that are wrecking our economy and society.

“There are always choices. Currently throughout Ireland the failed elite would like you to believe there are none. Whether it is Stormont parties forcing through Tory cuts that will throw the economy back into recession or southern parties who are only too willing to serve their new IMF masters, they say it is their way or the highway.

As elections come and go it is clear that the choices for the working class are however limited. There is currently no united working class movement capable of remoulding the economy and society to benefit the many rather than the few.

Now is the time for the building of such working class and progressive solidarity. It is becoming clear to all that the policies of economic growth must replace the cutback agenda which aims merely to move the costs of corruption from the culprits to society as a whole.”
