Re: [Marxism] Revolutionary Opposition in Ireland REFORMATTED

DoC, you state the "mass is still with SF". In a cursory reading of the media 
(including left and 
republican media) in Ireland, north and south, it seems that the masses are 
absolutely nowhere. In 
the north of Ireland they certainly *vote* of SF, but they don't appear, *at 
all* WITH SF. I 
would contrast this with S. Africa where the ANC's support, while increasingly 
gettng smaller, has 
a genuine *mass* and activist base numbering in the millions. Politics aside, 
it really seem from afar 
that SF is nothing more than a republican-leaning electoral machine. Please 
correct me if I'm wrong 
on this.
