Joe Higgins: Why I’m Standing for Euro Election

THE REASON I am standing in the Euro Elections in Dublin is to give the people of the capital city the possibility of a clear socialist alternative to all the establishment political parties. There is no doubt that the current economic catastrophe will be foremost in the minds of people as they vote on 5 June in both the Local and Euro elections. They will want to punish Fianna Fail for its’ pro-speculation policies that engineered the huge property bubble that has inevitably burst with horrific consequences. They will also want to hit back at both Fianna Fail and the Green Party for their current policies of making working people pay for this crisis while bailing out the banks and the speculators.

 David Doyle: “I’m supporting Joe because of his track record of supporting working class people and causes affecting them. I’ve always considered him to be a man of integrity who stands up for what he believes in and “walks the walk”. He has remained steadfast and true to the Socialist ideal (even when castigated and derided for doing so) and is now the sole candidate who is actively offering a strong and viable alternative to the current obsolete model.”

Dermot Byrne: “Yeah I’m going to vote Joe Higgins. He has been saying

for years that the fat cats who run this country would eventually get us into a mess. Joe was great voice in the Dail the last time, and the only one who stood up to the main parties who are always friends with the rich”.

Eleanor Fitzgerald: “Joe is a fearless defender of the interests of working men and women”. 

Larry Buggy: “As a former trade union official, I am supporting Joe Higgins because he is the only workers voice in this election”.

US – A graphic picture of decline

New book charts economic, social and political decay of America

 

“No one can say when the unwinding began – when the coil that held Americans together in its secure and  sometimes stifling grip first gave way. Like any great change, the unwinding began at countless times, in  countless ways – and at some moment the country, always the same country, crossed a line of history and  became irretrievably different”.

So begins George Packer in this tremendous book, The Unwinding, which paints a devastating picture of US  capitalism in decline. Similar to Packer, Karl Marx described the collapse of the Spanish Empire as a “slow and  inglorious decay”. The difference is that Spain’s decline took place over centuries, whereas the astonishing  collapse of the US – still, nevertheless, the strongest capitalist power on the planet – has been compressed  into 50 or 60 years!

WikiLeaks: The case of Julian Assange

On the world stage, the case of Julian Assange is about U.S. imperialism’s need to punish WikiLeaks. There is no doubt that the Swedish state and the government would be happy to assist the US. However, the case is also about serious allegations of rape, which must be investigated.
