An invitation to Anarchists to join a debate with Republicans.

A discussion has been started on the Irish Republican Bulletin Board (IRBB) titled The Case for Anarchism. A few papers have been posted to give readers an overall view of the basics of Anarchist political philosophy and Im hoping that some Anarchists would take part in the debate. There is good moderation on the site and no personal abuse or disrespect of other posters is tolerated, so be assured your contributions will be read with interest and respect. Although the Republican Movement has traditionally favoured a model approximating to state socialism, Eire Nua and its federalist proposals certainly aim at closing the massive gap that now exists between the rulers and the ruled. One thing that Anarchists and Republicans can certainly agree on is that Leinster House and Stormont Castle are the problem - and can have no part in the solution. However, there is no point in replacing two undemocratic impositions with a single undemocratic one.

The debate can be found at the related link. And a go raibh míle maith agaibh to Indymedia for giving me the oportuntiy to make this invitation.
