Jordan Shilton from WSWS comments on the ULA’s recent meeting with the Troika in Dublin . "Left" groups of a similar stamp to the ULA are being integrated into the highest echelons of government in other parts of Europe to act as responsible oppositions to austerity measures . One such group is Germany's Die Link , the Left Party , whose representative Christine Buchholz sits on the country's Defence Committee, a body 'charged with defending “the security of the country and of Germany’s allies, as well as the interests of Bundeswehr [armed forces] personnel on active service.”' |

"And a shop stewards committee that meets management to demand better conditions is being subsumed into capitalism."
Save that sort of arrogance for your own supporters D_D . The Troika only takes it seriously to the extent that it needs left militant-sounding caricatures like the ULA to channel opposition along safe , parliamentary lines .
The ULA delegation “demanded” better condition from the Troika according to D_D . If the Troika is “management” and the ULA the shop steward’s committee where do the government and the Dail come into the equation ?
