Comrades and friends,
The Socialist Youth contingent has now returned to Ireland after participating in the events of D14/15 in Brussels. This is one very tired comrade, so this may not make 100% sense!
After arriving in the early hours of Thursday night/Friday morning, and catching a whole hour's sleep, the Socialist Youth/SP contingent assembled at the 'Little Castle' and marched with our international organisation, the Committee for a Workers International (CWI), along the main route. The atmosphere was electric, with a real revolutionary feeling in the air.
Socialists, Communists, genuine Anarchists and other Lefties put their differences behind them for one day and marched as the international resistance to world capitalism, the system of global greed. Certain of the so-called "Black Bloc" anarchists did their usual nihilistic thing and smashed up a bank, a police office and bizzarrely, six cars belonging to workers of Arab origin. It was obvious that there were Statist elements at work within the BB, acting as agent provocetuers within the group.
The violence carried out by this group ensures that police/state repression can be 'justifiably' brought down on the whole movement. Other reports claim that BB and the State were seen mingling (in collaboration) during the day.
After the marching ended in the Tours & Taxi area, the CWI held a street rally with Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins recieving a fantastic response to his speech.
After the rally, the CWI tried to move out of the T&T area, we found that the police (robocops) had encircled us, creating a mood of fear among the ranks of the protesters.
In order to leave the T&T area, protesters had to be searched by the police. These searches were not necessary, and only served to heighten tensions.
The CWI then held two meetings, one on the Market Economy and the Socialist Alternative, and the other on Bu$h's "War on Terrorism". However, this comrade cannot report on these meetings as he was far too tired to attend. After meeting various international comrades, and an excursion to the underbelly of Bruxxels, the Irish delegation attended the founding conference of the International Socialist Resistance (ISR). ISR is a broad based revolutionary organistaion that will hold counter summits to propose socialism as the only alternative to the crisis of Capitalism and the quagmire it has created in the world, viz. war, poverty, exploitation and terrorism.
Many international comrades spoke at the conference, and all motions were passed by a huge majority. The potential of this organisation cannot be underestimated. This may be the most important development of the so-called anti-Capitalist movement. Further conferences will be held at major anti-Capitalist events.

The Socialist Youth bus then left Bruxxels behind, and arrived in Ireland at about noon, with some very tired comrades heading off to the safety of the Batch to discuss the revolutionary situation and objective historical circumstances, etc.
This comrade, on behalf of Socialist Youth would like to say a massive thank you to all of our international sections for putting the effort in, especailly the Belgian comrades who made the whole ISR conference possible. Also big shout outs to the Greek posse who had 40 hours travelling to do. This was my first chance to meet the international comrades, and I was very impressed. This has simply reinforced my belief in Internationalism, and I look forward to the next time.
Struggle, Solidarity, Socialism!
