Class, Ecology and the bin tax
In 2003 in Dublin over 20 people were jailed for resisting the imposition of the bin tax in Dublin. There were some who saw the bin tax struggle as being an example where the ‘environmental agenda’ is counterpoised to the ‘working class’ agenda. I don’t and I think the few environmentalists who have supported the ruling class line in this have done great damage to the environmental cause. The bin tax pure and simple was about imposing the neo-liberal agenda, what some people call ‘globalisation’. A core part of this agenda is to transfer the costs of running society from the rich and corporations to workers and the poor.
