First of all, I would like to thank all those who have expressed their support and solidarity with Project Lambda. I am delighted to see that support has come from all over the political spectrum and across party lines.
However, there has been some unfounded criticism of Project Lambda, based on preconceptions or based on the preliminary information provided so far. I intend to address these criticisms now.
The "Project Lambda is communist" criticism
>>>> Project Lambda is NOT communist. <<<<
No part of the project will use commune companies, nor is the objective to destroy capitalism.
In fact, Project Lambda is designed to place the Irish Republic on a much more firm military and economic footing with the power of the state balancing the interests of workers and company owners.
The "Personal Freedom" criticism
Project Lambda only restricts the freedom of people to operate in the Irish domestic marketplace, which has degenerated into a destructive rat race that benefits no one. In return for trading this freedom, company owners gain state support for exports, which have a much larger potential profit margin.
Total freedom leads to the abuse of freedom, we must insure that our prosperity and success as a country is not sacrificed so that every man and his dog can have a failing business!
The "bureaucracy" criticism
This criticism also includes the "taxation to force compliance" argument.
Project Lambda will not require a large management staff, nor will it require massive amounts of gold to be spent on companies. Companies' owners that cooperate will receive massive state backing, companies that don't will be eliminated by combination of state companies' market pressure and taxation pressures.
The rat race over the tiny Irish market is at an end.
Why support Project Lambda?
The system that has served us until this point is failing.
The benefits to be had from cooperating for the good of the Republic are immense.
A strong pact between workers, companies and the State is absolutely necessary.
We must become the new Sparta!
"The cause of labour is the cause of Ireland, the cause of Ireland is the cause of labour." - James Connolly
Project Lambda has been developed by the Labour Party.
If you support our initiative, but feel that you would like to stay with your own party, we respect that.
On the other hand, if you like how we do things:
Join the Labour Party!

I'm dissapointed..... when you said there would be further articles I was expecting a more detailed analysis or outline of the plan.
Instead..... well.... we've got a pretty good idea of what you're NOT 🙂
Sean, again, more articles to come.
The best way to run an army. The only way to win when you're small.
Labour ABÚ, @Sean I certainly don't speak on behalf of Brian but would you not rather clear any uncertaintiesthat people may have on the idea itself before going deaper into the details?
btw I loved this line "The benefits to be had from cooperating for the good of the Republic are immense."
I seem to remember parisanship being an important aspect of your politics and you speaking out against this very view you know promote not so long ago BB 😉
Whey to pick apart the articles Sean more power too ya 😉
I look forward to you next article Brain some very interesting ideas having previously worked in a Commune myself in the eUK I can say without a shadow of a doubt they do work with proper management.
^ A wise man, who has experience in communes talking about communes.
That is what we need as opposed to people shouting about how they CANNOT work, without every having any experience with them or understanding of how they work.
He just posted that there WON'T be communes!
"No part of the project will use commune companies"
and didn't 299 of the 300 die in that film?!
Oh dear 😛
Sweet buddy!
The point is one Spartan warrior was worth 10 of any other. The fact that 1 out of 300 lived against a force of quarter a million says it all.

This is Ireland, Sparta is in Greece. Your all confused ;P
lol Sweet yeh man, and Germany is in Poland!
Every citizen SHOULD be a Soldier of the Republic.
When ye finally get that sorted, ye'll be on the pig's back.
Til then, best of luck.
Sean:
@Gol😛
I remembered that the government already has a set of companies, so Project Lambda is actually cheaper than I first anticipated.
Besides, we need to have gold for contingency reasons as well.
@Food Production Figures:
Food is actually the easiest thing to make, there is more than enough productivity to feed the active population.
@Companies & Cooperation:
Sean, we'll be doing the selecting of companies, not the other way around. If companies whom we select cooperate, there are many benefits to be had. There is no contradiction between selection and cooperation. A nice play on words though.
@Staff:
This is a military plan as much as an economic plan, it will be done via existing military logistics systems where possible.
@Partisanship:
Rivalry between political parties is good when there is something to work with, but where absolutely major reforms are needed to save the country, then a little unity goes a long way.
I may be new here, but I can't see how deliberately restricting competition can be a good idea (even if it is a game). Encouraging a state monopoly is hardly going to keep costs lower than a plan where the state simply encourages co-operation, but those private companies which are capable of selling at a lower price have a share in the market. Perhaps i don't really understand the plan or game mechanics thus far, but thought I'd mention my concerns. However, if you can really persuade me that it is in the best interest of the Irish economy, good luck to you!
