Unity and Independence

Unity and independence is the goal of Ireland's Sinn Fein. It's not a bad goal for Americans to consider as well.

Unity means everyone gets what they need to live a decent life, not just a privileged few who operate the levers of power through a corrupt, two-party state. Independence means withdrawing support for this corrupt system by refusing to be bribed or threatened with economic or social sanctions.

Taking a principled stand for unity and independence requires commitment and determination rarely found in self-centered societies. Unfortunately, we cannot have social unity without political independence; severing ties with politicians and corporations is the only way to stand on our own.
