Reconciling Republican Left and Other Socialist Views
My opinion is that the NI issue is that of one of class oppression and without
going into too much details I have posted on why I believe such an issue exists.
On the other hand, my fellow PW Republican users are of the opinion that such an
issue is down to tribalism and imperialism by the British state of which they
have provided ample evidence to assert their claim . With the two issues having
such commonalities is it therefore sensible that we reconcile both the
Republican left and the Trotskyist, Stalinist and other traditions that exist
within a new left wing framework? Im not for one moment suggesting that we merge
Republican and other left wing ideaologies but we look for common ground and
work together. There has already been some work on a local level from such
groups as Eirigi and the ULA and as such there are some links there. Sinn Fein
and ULA have a lot of policies which are similar and the major difference is the
view of NI and how the issue is dealt with. Could commonalities be found that
could bring the different traditions of the left together to work as one force
to counter the effects of current status quo and that of any new right wing
party that emerges?
