Thanks Milo! The constructive and comradely tone of this debate is welcomed, as such open discussion is vital for the socialist left as a whole. It is through engaging with differing perspectives and reflecting on practical experience that collective strategies can be refined and understanding deepened.
This continuous debate, exemplified here, is a crucial mechanism for the left to assess, learn, and adapt. It allows examination of where public practice aligns with stated principles and where further clarity is needed. Openly discussing these strategic and tactical questions enables all socialist formations to collectively draw lessons from unfolding political developments, refine their understanding of working-class consciousness, and strengthen the overall movement for a socialist Ireland. This dialogue is indispensable for building an effective and united left.
PS Can I suggest the SP links to the replies from their initial article?
This assessment of the debate misses the reply by Eddie McCabe to Scully and Flood:
