I've observed the site for a while now, and I feel that there is a very definite anti-Irish bias. You are scathing of anyone who asserts the Irish right to self-determination, and you applaud the GFA and other 'State' solutions. These are not designed to provide republican solutions- i.e an independent socialist ireland.

For socialists- who are supposed to advocate the overthrow of the state, you are surprisingly quiet about your own ambitions. You slag off everyone else, but what do you ever do? I never see RA in the papers, I never see any socialist parties making working class lives better in any area I go to. People like TELCO and IWCA do a hell of a lot, but you lot just want to be councillors or MP's. Fucking champagne socialists the lot of you.

My inference is because these ambitions are all electoral. You seek power in the system, a reformist position, a cowards position, rather than the braver but harder one of true socialism. That doesn't apply to everyone, but to a lot of you.
