The Independent Workers Union of Ireland hosted a meeting in solidarity with the Tyrone to Gaza project’s John Hurson, now traveling with the ‘Viva Palestina’ convoy attempting to break the barbaric Israeli siege of Gaza, in Dungannon on January 2nd. Among those who spoke were Peter Canavan, former Tyrone GAA captain and Gaelic football legend, IWU organizer and long time socialist republican activist Tommy McKearney, IWU President and activist extraordinaire Patricia Campbell. The meeting connected live with John on the convoy and activist Mahmoud Abu Aisha in Gaza. Mickey Coleman and Plunkett McGartland performed their beautiful song for Gaza ‘A Mothers lullaby’. Patricia informs the Rustbelt that they couldn’t be more pleased with the success of the event. Congratulations to all involved.
The Rustbelt Radical is a personal blog. It is revolutionary, socialist and internationalist. It comes straight from the ravaged middle of the post-industrial American Midwest and yearns for the refounding of the Marxist project. The landscapes of radical history are my main interest, but other topics might include politics, economy, work, culture, war, theory, travel, music and frequent tubthumping for the free association of producers. Let me know of needed or broken links.

"The realm of freedom...can only consist in socialized man, the associated producers rationally regulating their interchange with Nature, bringing it under their common control, instead of being ruled by it as by the blind force of Nature, and achieving this with the least expenditure of energy and under conditions most favorable to, and worthy of, their human nature..."

Easy. I encourage readers to comment, but as per The Big Lebowski you don't come into The Dude's home and piss on his rug. After your first comment is approved you can comment as you will. Anonymous posts, spam or comments of someone whose sole reason for writing is to be a jerk don't get approved. And no personal abuse; we're all better than that. Other than that fire away.
