Certainly not from me. It would indeed be a first step if you could open your eyes and see the potential.

When republicans say we have nothing to fear and then cheer the Druids saying "go home planters" my suspicions are raised. <br />As for people voting for eirigi, 32CSM, RNU, IRSP, RSF etc the clue is in the amount of micro groups.

And I don't mean over territory.

I think we agree up to a point that western neo-liberalism is profoundly unfair, and that it skilfully deals with dissent by 'othering' their enemies in the compliant media. It is a massive conspiracy that exports inequality all around the globe, but what do you the 1916 Societies propose to do about it? You are always light on policy.
