"Comrades. If we don't do it, who will? Will the narrow, dogmatic economism of the Socialist Party do it? Will the will-o'-the-wisp politics of the endless frenetic protesting and sloganeering of the SWP bring change? Will Sinn Fein deliver, or are they now treading the well-worn path of electoralism, reducing the working class to mere election cannon-fodder? Will a middle dominated organisation like the Labour Party deliver, wedded as it is to coalition?"

- Eugene McCartan, General Secretary of the Communist Party Of Ireland.

Excert taken from the opening speech of 23rd national congress of the CPI publication, availiable from Connolly Books for the princely sum of 3 euro 50 cent.

A strange thing to say considering the CPI was calling for left unity a mere two months ago?
