The escalation of the crisis of monopoly capitalism - imperialism - has shown a deep structural crisis that underlies it. The crisis has also made it clear how the system is unable to resolve its deep contradictions without resorting to a massive attack on working conditions, workers' living standards and achievements over the decades of the class struggle of the masses.
The system itself is unable to solve and find solutions to the many and increasing number of problems facing humanity, including mass poverty, hunger and food shortages, and the urgent need to combat global warming.
The policy pursued is that the imposition of mass unemployment, a growing inequality, a greater concentration of wealth, monopolisation more and more exploitation of workers and the poor, the destruction of communities, increasing militarization and wars.
The people of Ireland, both north and south, is now forced to pay a heavy price for the failed policies of both the Irish and British governments. These attacks reached a qualitatively new level, built on budget policies that include a deliberate reduction of public spending, organized attacks on public service welfare system, with increased direct and indirect taxes on workers and the poor, and the socialization of corporate debt, leaving intact the wealth. The imposition
received by international finance capital and the European Union's plan for the return of deficits in four years was designed to circumvent and undermine the democratic will of the people. Their approach is to build structural readjustment programs for all types of economic and social policy that any future Irish government would want to implement. The ECB and EU policies aim to promote and protect the interests of monopoly capital and financial German and French banks.
policies of IMF sowed a trail of destruction around the world forcing workers to pay for the policies and economic strategies that local elites in alliance with monopoly capitalism, have inflicted on their countries.
The crisis has also highlighted the damage caused, both north and south, the economic and social development by excessive confidence in the finance, insurance and real estate sectors, and transnational capitalism.
The European Union is exploiting the crisis to push through its strategic orientation in order to establish greater control over the strategies and national budget on urgent social and economic requirements of member countries. Across Europe, workers, small businesses, self-employed persons, farm families and those dependent on social welfare are forced to pay a high price for this crisis. To these social strata in the peripheral countries within the European Union are asked to bear an even greater weight to save the German financial capital, French and English, and in fact to save the euro.
resistance to these policies is growing across Europe. In Ireland, as elsewhere, the movement of workers is crucial for this opposition. The development of clear alternative to his home and in the trade union movement, based on the interests of the masses and not those of employers and banks, is essential. This means the rejection at every level by the labor movement of the corrupt and now clearly failed strategy of "social partnership". The employer is already making it clear that they have no intention to defend jobs and stop the wage cuts. E 'is also clear that the trade union movement and public sector workers have been stood up to the agreement of Croke Park.
The government and most employers do not consider it necessary to "social partnership" to protect their strategic interests. The union leadership must explain just as clearly not to place further illusions about it.
It 's time and still needed a vigorous campaign not only to reject the next budget but the whole Government's economic strategy - which was widely supported by the main opposition parties - and to oppose the privatization of public services and the sale of public enterprises.
The trade union movement in Northern Ireland has shown in the recent mobilization of thousands of workers who can stand in the presence of leadership and instances of clear and recognizable. This is the lesson on which to build the labor movement throughout Ireland. The Communist Party of Ireland calls on workers, small businessmen, self-employed and unemployed to support the mobilization of 27 November, organized by the ICTU [Irish Congress of Trade Unions].
's not too late to say the absolute necessity of self-mobilization of workers. Workers need to present their vision of the necessary economic and social development. A necessary first step is to reject the construction of ideological consensus, so we must all "share the pain". As the crisis was the state monopoly capitalism of the ability to launch attacks deeper and supported the workers, so the trade union movement must respond with its own claims and an alternative economic strategy. Workers must also oppose the policies of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
The deep structural weakness, north and south, can be overcome only through a strategic approach in all of Ireland addressed to an economic and social development, a strategy that, politically, economically and socially is transformative. Only the development plan to use social capital resources and is able to overcome the anarchy and chaos of capitalism.
the center of each alternative, there must be:
• The refusal of the debt: it is their debt, not ours;
• The return of taxation powers from Brussels to the Irish people;
• The transfer of full economic powers and tax executive of Northern Ireland;
• The creation of a state investment bank;
• The establishment of an economic development agency in Ireland under democratic control;
• The social control of all natural resources and marine, to be developed in a sustainable manner by the people.
