Kieron Barry reviews 2003, a busy year for Irish Anarchists 2003 saw a big upsurge in anarchist activity across the country. A small but growing number of anarchists are building opposition to the status quo based on the politics of freedom and equality. We want, and know it is possible, to create an alternative to the politics of bluff, lies and shady deals. Justice will not fall from the sky- it will have to be fought for here and now. That's why anarchists are involved in a wide range of campaigns and are active in the day-to-day struggles of our communities and in our workplaces. We also know that to build a different society requires imagination and initiative and so we are not content simply to criticise what is- over the past year we showed what can be achieved through grassroots democracy and direct action. Throughout the year anarchists were busy organising meetings, demonstrations and direct action against the war. The main focus of this activity was the use of Shan-non by the US military on the way to wage war on Iraq. Anarchists and other activists decided to publicise this fact and undertook to stop the misuse of Shannon. A peace camp was established and following the smashing up of a military plane by Catholic Workers and Mary Kelly, and other security breaches during demonstrations, three of the four carriers responsible for shipping the US military through the airport temporarily pulled out of Shannon. The government responded by deploying the Irish army and riot police at Shannon to defend the use of a civilian airport by a foreign army in a "neutral" country. Anarchists were also in-volved in a series of actions against Top Oil, an Irish company that directly benefits from servicing the US war machine. |
