270x169-images-stories-denmark-climate-summit-demo-planet-b.jpgThe dramatic collapse of the talks at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen serves to highlight one thing: the capitalist governments of the world cannot solve burning issues, such as damage to the environment provoked by the anarchy of the market. The thirst for profit is in direct contradiction to the interests of the working people of the world. Social revolution on a global scale is the only real answer to the problem.

Richard Colvin’s testimony, admitting that Canadian soldiers were complicit in the torture of prisoners, is the finishing touch. We reproduce an article published by the Marxist site Fightback which looks at the Afghan war from a Canadian perspective.

Ireland: Carpe Diem Print E-mail
By Steve Jones + Fightback Ireland   
Thursday, 10 December 2009
More than a few 'commentators' on the defacto cuts announced on Thursday by UK Chancellor Darling, as part of the plan to make the public sector pay for the banks' bailout, sought to praise the ruthless cuts announced on the same day in Ireland. The message is clear so far as these characters are concerned - we need to cut and cut hard. We reproduce a statement issued by the Irish Marxists on the day the cuts were made public.

Ireland: Talks break down: Where next for ICTU? Print E-mail
By Fightback (Ireland)   
Monday, 07 December 2009
The talks between the government and ICTU have collapsed following pressure from the FF back benches. Apparently they had been pressured from “the private sector” to oppose plans for unpaid leave proposed by the union leaderships. Make no bones about it. What this really means is that the Irish bourgeoisie and the multinationals are putting on the pressure and demanding that the public sector takes huge cuts. It raises the temperature in what is already a charged situation. If the Irish Congress of Trade Unions had a fighting Socialist leadership; Ireland would be on the brink of a general strike. But that is far from the case.
 
Ireland: Murphy and Ryan Reports; the abuse of power Print E-mail
By Fighback reporters   
Monday, 07 December 2009
catholic_church.jpgThe Ryan and Murphy reports have exposed the extent of the abuse carried out against children by Catholic priests in the Dublin Diocese between 1975 and 2004. It is also clear that such abuses have occurred in practically all parishes of the Roman Catholic Church in the whole island. Physical and sexual abuses also occurred in industrial schools, orphanages, and the “Magdalene laundries run by orders of nuns.   It’s not our intention to dwell on the detail of the investigations, but we feel that it is important to look at the political and social ramifications of the reports.
