      Is it The Revoluition Will Not Be Televised? That's a stunning film. Have you seen Pilger's The War on Democracy? It covers the coup quite a bit too.

      Sorry comrade. I'm up here in County Down.

      Up here we're pretty ignorant of politics beyond the 6 counties. I don't ever get to go down south because of my partner's residency status.

      I'd like to think of myself as somewhat of a Marxist. I mean, most of the fun of it all is in the revolution, you know?

      So how bout you?

      Thanks for the invite. And yes, it is a sad state of affairs that many blue collar workers are brainwashed into thinking that whatever is best for the company is best for them. All the company does is promote wage slavery.

      It's a Che Boxxy! I can link you to a Boxxy video...she's not a communist though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yavx9yxTrsw

I'll need to get looking for some stuff. the morning star will be the first place i check, its always good for such news.

      "Evil" is just a generalisation to deciribe base human instincts. Every society has had them, including the Communist ones. Its just who we are, good and bad. Not everyone is the same, some are more selfless than the norm, others more selfish. Economic's is pointless and worthless without factoring human behaviour.

      The Government didn't put a gun to peoples head and force them to borrow.
      I, and my family, never borrowed, worked hard, spend little, saved as much as possible as those around us wasted and borrowed and lived beyond there means. Now we should suffer because others were too lazy and greedy to live frugally? Personal responsibility is what matters.

      Im not saying the Private sector is better, (I think it is though), just that the Public sector is not a wealth generator. Meaning we have to borrow to pay for it. Meaning if we can't afford it we have to cut it back. Its Public Servants. They serve at the public's discretion.

      Waterford Wedgewood lost money because its products are Ugly, Badly made and Too Expensive. Just because it was losing money for yeats doesn't give a right to exist. If you love it so much set up your own company to make it. All the workers have to do is pool there savings and borrow.

      And in regards Fianna Fail.
      As I said I blame the current leadership for many things, but it did what the electorate wanted. And even up to two years that was to keep the building boom going, etc. The Government didn't borrow. All the debt thats being bailed out is because ordinary Irish people bought house beyond there means.

      I advised alot of people, friends, family, that they shouldn't buy houses or borrow so much, that they were living beyond there means. They ignored or laughed at me, or abused me for it. Much of this problem was created in the past few years because people wanted higher pay and better living. A standard of living they couldn't afford.

      No, socialists forget humanity is primarily an "evil" species, we tend towards selfishness, resentment, greed, etc. Socialism pretends these doesn't exist. Pure capitalism goes to far in the other direction. We have to face people will put there children, family, loved ones, FIRST and FOREMOST.

      The problem with the boom was it was wasted. We became too expensive and pored money into poor public sector. I know Ireland has been living in a delusion, buts its a delusion that we "deserve" things and that money will never run out.
      My family are public sector workers, and though I'm self employed, I remember the 80's and how close to bankruptcy we came.
      The private sector creates wealth and taxes to pay for the public sector. To argue that the public sector is worthless is pointless, because without the private sector there would be no money to pay the public sector. Our public service is paid too much, because we can't afford it. If we don't cut it in a year the IMF WILL step in. And we will turn into Argentina during its debt crises.

      Waterford Wedgewood.
      So basically WW should have kept losing money to keep those jobs? Money has to come from somewhere, were TOO EXPENSIVE. The Poles and Chinese will do it better and cheaper, we need to cut our costs and compete. The government shouldn't take over inefficient and costly businesses. I know its hard on the workers. But life's not fair.
