This past year has been a notable one for Lasair Dhearg as an organisation and indeed for the broader struggle in Ireland.
Over the last twelve months our activists have been busy campaigning. During that time the ongoing crises in capitalism has exposed class lines and laid bare the divisions in our society for all to see. There is a growing consensus across Ireland that we exist within a very broken system, designed for the enrichment of a very small class of people.
Since our inception Lasair Dhearg had taken the decision to slowly but surely build an organisation from the ground up; one that would make no empty promises but seek to create something credible and capable; capable of one day bringing about the conditions for the creation of an Irish Socialist Republic.
Our broader Movement, having only a handful of activists in one corner of Belfast in late 2019, now has a growing presence across Ireland and Internationally. We hope that our activism and our methods of organising inspire other like-minded comrades to join us in the building of this project.
These past twelve months have seen our activists engage in a number of campaigns and many forms of activism; from highlighting the ongoing ‘cost of living crisis’, to tackling the continued normalisation strategy of the PSNI; from putting the spotlight on the continued occupation of Ireland and British military infrastructure here, to standing on picket lines with striking workers; from tackling fascist propaganda, to standing with Palestine and creating ‘Israeli Free Goods Zones’.
