@godbrother10 Crown rule in Ireland is being administered from Stormont, that is fact. They even support the colonial police to make sure British laws are adhered to and implemented. It's the complete opposite of Irish republicanism.

@IrishRepubIicanArmy he said those comments in a bid to keep loyalists in the process ... tactical flattery shall we say ... speak to him or any Republican in private and they'll tell you the score. The Peace Process is a road map to a United Ireland.

@godbrother10 Provisional Sinn Féin have are implemting Tory cuts and implementing British rule from Stormont. Francie Molloy stated this himself when he said ''We are really prepared to administer British rule in Ireland''. Everything passed in the assembly is given royal assent by the Queen of England to become law. It is a British parliament in occupied Ireland. If Sinn Féin members publicly admit to administering crown rule in Ireland, it shows how feeble your argument is.

@godbrother10 It is often alleged by "dissidents" that Sinn Fein is actually helping to implement British rule in the north. This is false in more ways than one. Sinn Fein members have had to take no oath of allegiance to the crown (unlike their counterparts in Scotland and Wales); they give no other featly to it; and they implement no policy and reform no act (including flag-flying) which will serve to confirm or consolidate Crown rule.

@godbrother10 Since the Provisional IRA's 1997 ceasefire, "dissident republicans" have killed 2 policemen, 2 soldiers and 31 civilians. So 11.5% of the people they are responsible for killing were legitimate targets (in their eyes at least), and 88.5% of them were innocent bystanders. Of course, these "dissidents" are the same people who regarded standing for election as a 'deviation from principle' , coming off the no-work-protest as a 'sellout' and the cease-fire a 'surrender'.

@godbrother10 Prior to the 1994 cease-fire Adams was dismissed by British commentators as “Mr 10%”. As it stands Sinn Fein have 29 MLAs, 14 TDs, 3 Senators, 5 MPs and a MEP and hundreds of councillors across the island. Republican fortunes have been transformed: changed utterly and with them the political landscape of the island as a whole. And consequently the new phase of struggle will for the first time since partition, return to an all an Ireland dimension....

@IrishRepubIicanArmy Dissident supporters like you are playing right into british hands. Nothing suits the Brits better, operationally, financially and propaganda-wise than to have a very low-intensity armed campaign to contend with. It provides a containable counter-insurgency laboratory to hone their skills for other adventures overseas. The decision to site MI5's massive headquarters in the six counties only confirms this.

Political conditions have changed...

@godbrother10 You were not afraid to envoke the opinion of James Connolly at the end of the video but you left out the end of the quote to suit your own agenda. Adams and Co's branch of Sinn Féin are not revolutionaries, they are constitutionals copying the Irish parliamentary party FF or the SDLP so called strategies. There is no change or nothing new in the same old methods used for hundreds of years. Supporting British rule in ireland is not revolutionary its a regressive step.

[godbrother10]

@IrishRepubIicanArmy Please don't envoke the opinion of dead patriots ... neither you nor I can say which course they would have taken and it is an insult to their memories to use them as cheap tools in petty arguments.

[godbrother10]

@IrishRepubIicanArmy Adaption is not betrayal and present politics is not a denial of previous resistance.

Problem with these so-called dissidents is that in place of 'a strategy rooted in objective reality' they have ideology: in place of ambition they have obstinacy- making them unable to distinguish tactic from cherished principle. All they offer is simple and bloody solutions to complex problems.

Revolutionaries cannot be frightened by change: fear of change is not revolutionary.
