Jump To Comment: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Considering that Chavez has won more votes in more elections/referenda by bigger majorities than any of the politicians who charge him with being un-democratic....
What everybody is afraid of in Ireland (and the UK, the USA, etc) is anything radical. The level of so-called 'thinking' that goes in Irish politics would shame a primary school kid. Most of it is dedicated to making minute adjustments to public perception without ever acting on principle.
"In societies dominated by modern conditions of production, life is presented as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has receded into a representation."
Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle
maybe the author of this pieces was making a deliberate point about democracy by picking Spain in the 30's, Chile in the 70's and Venezuela now.
All elections which were followed by right-wing attacks on the left-wing governments.
Would Ireland suffer attack by the right-wing establishment if the population went crazy and voted in a (genuinely) leftist government? Only one way to find out...
The government always win"
Ticking boxes doesn't do much, if you spend a few minutes on this very website, you'll see people going beyond that in their day to day lives.
Great insight into Venezuela there comrade, no doubt plucked from the pages of The Economist and Fox News, since it has precisely zero connection with what's actually happening in the country. Methinks you should research a little harder before mouthing off.
Spain in the 30's showed the futility of voting, the CNT led revolution did more in a few months than years of Republican government ever would/could/did. The revolution betrayed itself only when Garcia Oliver entered government breathing life and legitimacy back into the corpse of statist-reaction.
You also reference Chile in the 70's, do you know what happened after the leftist government was elected, a US backed coup overthrew it - proof that you can't destroy the masters house with the masters tools.
As for modern day Venezuela, they'll be lucky if they are ever allowed to have elections again Chavez is so madly in love with himself.
O Mi Gawd- but if you want to rock the fucking vote, you should start telling the
fucking truth to the kids who may think they are empowered but are consistently
lied to by a group of politicaL PARTIES with nothing between them- at all.
FG have not opposed a single Bill- including the sex laws that criminalise kids.
Labour have not supported the nurses.
The 'Left' are centre-right.
and if ye put an electric guitar between a pair of boobs thats going to make people vote?
Have some respect for the intelligence of Irish Kids- who know the present government
is corrupt and a load of shite- most I have heard would not bother to vote, cos politics
is dominated by idiocy of the worse order. (and btw- they are overweight too, most of the
front bench of Lab and ff have weight problems).
Kill that nauseating picture!
a wee link to today's weegie bashtards newspaper's feature article pleading with the voters to voter for Scotland, UN security council seats, & independence from yankee corruption whilst taking the time out - might I remind ye - taking the time out - to get downright cynical about What happens to democracy if people - "the people" - can't be bothered? aye. what happens if you knee you in the ghoulies? http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/features/display.va...0.php
as an anarchist I condemn the author(s) of this article for their wanton electioneering abuse of all that a wholesome Irish Easter should represent.
