For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Democratic Centralism

Democratic centralism {DC} has been much debated on indymedia

I have read over many threads on the continual debates and disscusions on democratic centralism {DC} from both those that support and reject it. I have read of peoples exeperiences of such and some of the 'problems' raised in relation to such.

Yet it is usually the 'practical experiences both within and by those who have worked along side 'certain democratic centralist organisations' that seems to rise much heated debate and disscussions. But is democratic Centralism itself the problem or is it the way in which it is worked on a practical basis the problem? Is the theory unworkable due to its history and curent practice or can and is its practice democratic and workable? Or is the problem just with 'certain organisations' and are other ways, organisations, and none 'more democratic' , accountable, and 'organised' ?

I provide a link to Part one of my articles on Democratic Centralism - Part two will go up on Indymedia in the time ahead in relation to my practical experiences to DC since my involvement into politics several years ago.

I am aware many diverse organisation's members, parties members and individual's participate in the Indymedia project as I do {and I find it dispite its dificulities a worth while project].

So I know people will have their own views on DC and I will read with interest and will at times if I feel the need to have my imput with those that which to genuinely engage on such an issue as I will do when I put Part two up in the time ahead on Indymedia. I do though have limited time but will read the debate and discussion if it unfolds and will imput occasionally. D
