I see all that stuff about meeting someowhere other than in Seomra Spraoi was just talk then.
All talk yeah. It was talked about if that is what you meant?
Anarchist activists see an inclusive, autonomous, non-profit, blah blah etc space - I just see a cold warehouse down a dark laneway populated by people with patches and spiked hair who want me to join their political organisations (though with a little more subtlety than the socialists, it has to be said). Sorry, but no thanks. If the meeting was being held in the SF offices in Parnell Square, or the Connolly Bookshop, then I would think that a political group was trying to use CM for its own ends. So its the same principle. But yes you are doing the organising, so before anyone gets the hair on the back of their neck up in the righteous anger/zeal of the newly converted, good luck to you. I (and others who organised CM before, I feel) wont be involved. And I imagine whenever some new or more exciting activist thing happens that requires the time and effort of the seomra spraoi crew, you lot wont be either.
William, the space is not just for anarchists, and I should point out that a SF office and a social space are radically different. A SF office is controlled by SF, wheras Seomra Spraoi is run by people, not any political group. Your on about people wanting you to join their 'political group'? I've been involved with helping run the space for about year now. Yet, I am not apart of any political group, that sort of flies in the face of your theory no? By the way, which organisation are you refering to? I guess if we had the meeting in Smock Alley, along with the DCC that would be okay, because it suits your political thoughts.
The space is progressive, cheap, ''inclusive, autonomous, non-profit, blah blah etc space''. The laneway you refer to actually has a street lamp : ) Seomra.S also has language lessons, a childrens kindergarten, bike workshops and bicycle repair classes, games night, food, parties, films etc etc, but I suppose this is apart of the grand plan by ''that political group'' using critical mass for its own ends. Again, what political group is this, you've fabricated something in your mind William, but, like I said, if this was all being organised by people involved with DCC (a political group of which you belong), I'm sure you would be fine with that no? William, some people are good (not implying other people arent, just making a point) and like to organise things that can help other people without a political motivation, its called love.
Your attitude only serves to damage the fun and poisitive cycle we had, and invisage in the furture.
I feel that you have made your mind up. You probably made your mind up the first time you saw me, I really did get that feeling so, good luck with your campaign William, I always had positive things to say about what your (yous are) doing. From man to man though, grow up! (No way, Im not hanging around with him! He listens to X and I only listen to Y)
Now, if you dont mind, I have to go put spikes in my hair and stick my patches on, you know the way we all do it...
