éirígí was not formed as a result of the endorsement of the PSNI/RUC. Its existence predates that decision.

éirígí is also very clear in its rejection of the GFA. See its position paper on imperialism. It explicitly rejects the GFA

éirígí’s position re: the future of republicanism is addressed in its position paper ‘Rebuilding the Republican Movement’.

I am sure you will find answers to the questions you pose contained therein. Whether the are to your liking is another matter.

Brian also mentions ideological and tactical separation in a throwaway manner without divulging to the rest of us what exactly these are.

One difference that i can think of is that the IRSP has always rejected the GFA as a blueprint for Irish National self determination and socialism and didn’t adopt this stance after an inevitable decision by PSF to support and endorse the PSNI/RUC.

There are real moves being made by the IRSP and 32CSM as well as the Republican Network for Unity to come together and find commonlaity of purpose that allows us to by pass “ideological and strategic differences” to coopoerate on single issues to greater effect.

Eirigi have consistently been invited to take part in the Republican Forum to debate commonalities and differences but have as yet to take part citing the ideology strategy line.
