Capitalist states inject their currency into the economy & then elevate the most exploitative entities as they accumulate the money units: ruthless bosses, landlords, climate destroying & tax evading corporations etc. Productive labour is punished while parasitic capital blooms.

Every great movement striving to advance conditions for the majority is required to break the law because the law is written by & for the ruling class minority whose power & privilege is based on our suppression. They then label this arrangement as "democracy".
#FreePalestine
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

The loans were required because the gov bailed out the banks & so bankrupted the country. Our € membership meant it was possible to go bankrupt unlike sat the UK which issues its own currency. Ordinary people were shafted by developers, banks, gov and the EU.
The Government is planning to repay €8 billion in loans received during the financial crisis ahead of schedule

If the Gov wanted the UNIFIL mission in Lebabon to continue they would put the matter to the UN General assembly, bypassing the security council & in defiance of the US. Of course opposing the genocidal, sex predator in the Whitehouse or any US President is a heresy in Gov's mind
The Minister for Defence has described her journey to the Irish camp in South Lebanon and said almost every village has been obliterated by Israel's bombing campaign and said it was as if an earthquake struck.

Any genuine "peace enforcement" mission in the region would locate itself in northern Israel/Palestine & Golan to prevent the IDF from mass murdering more Lebanese civilians. Instead McEntee wants our troops to take on Hezbollah on Israel's behalf.A grotesque & lethal proposition
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee.

Minister McEntee has confirmed that the gov are removing the #TripleLock in order to illegally participate in a mission/civil war in Lebanon with potentially significant loss of military personnel.
In that context President Connolly cannot in good conscience sign the Bill.
Solidarity Dub West retweeted
If Irish troops are instructed to intervene in a Lebanese civil war in an effort to disarm Hezbollah on behalf of the genocidal Zionist butchers they should refuse to go.
Let the craven war mongers in suits go and fight their own bloody battles.

War mongering insanity. The Minister is proposing that Irish troops participate in a mission without UN mandate (& therefore illegal) to disarm Hezbollah and so intervene in a Lebanese civil war on behalf of the Zionist state which is perpetrating a genocide.

Capitalism hinges on the deception that money is a scarce & precious resource when in fact it's a limitless instrument of the state.
The true foundation of all economies is labour & so only the working class can democratically plan & manage a civilized global economic system.
The BBC will never regularly - if at all - feature post-Keynesian or MMT economists. Neoliberal capitalism is the latest incarnation of a 4,400 year old private debt-servicing system, currently struggling for high-return investment opportunities as mass production is automated. Should the creditor class fail to maintain the myth that money is finite and must be borrowed as interest-bearing loans from wealthy private lenders the system will collapse.

Shameless propagandist. Communities must organise against the datacentre pandemic. Vast secretive behemoths generating colossal profits by consuming our energy, water & construction capacity all of which are needed to address the housing crisis, itself engineered to profit a few.
The head of Ireland's data centre lobby has claimed the sector is falling victim to “conspiracy theories" and “disinformation" originating in American politics.
He also likened local opponents of data centres in their communities to Brexiteers.

If there's a credible threat to the state from a "hostile foreign power" then why is the court concealing who the foreign actor is in a matter of grave public interest?
A civil servant accused of leaking sensitive Irish government information to a hostile foreign power has been sent forward for trial to the non-jury Special Criminal Court

Having complied with a live streamed genocide for 3yrs, your political establishment now have a perpetual credibility problem Barry. Nobody believes that a ruling class which is so welded to Western capitalism & imperialism won't send our young working people to their bloody wars
👉 No other country in the world gives Trump 🇺🇸, Putin 🇷🇺 and Xi 🇨🇳 a veto over their own foreign policy.
The Irish 'Triple Lock' is the opposite of national sovereignty.
The world has drastically changed. Irish military neutrality remains steadfast but must adapt.
.@sinnfeinireland seem to want Irish soldiers confined to their barracks. No young person wants to join such an army.
Irish peacekeepers have a proud record around the world and are now needed more than ever.
I welcome today's reform by the Irish parliament 🇮🇪.

In the context of the mass movement in France it should be understood that the state is first & foremost an instrument of great violence which demands that any protest against itself is entirely peaceful, ordered & ineffectual.
"Do as I say, not as I do...."
-The ruling class
Incredible. Don’t forget on 17th of October, 1961 France killed hundreds (exact number is unknown) of Algerians dressed in their best clothing protesting in the most ‘civilized’ way in Paris. Their bodies were thrown in the river. In addition, 12,000 Algerians were detained by police. This was during the Algerian war of independence.

US corporations are buying up our homes, doctors, electricity & many other life essentials.
This is the case because our political establishment fundamentally represents the interests of domestic & international capital at the expense of the wellbeing of the great majority.
Ireland’s biggest private landlord is set to be bought out by US investment firm Barings -what happens then will be a live test case of the impact of Ireland’s new rent rules.

We've been conditioned to think of this as normal but it's absurd that our primary healthcare is delivered (or not) by a network of private businesses which are now being sold to external speculators. A rational model would see every community served by a public health centre.
On no planet can this be good for Irish patients -

Dreadful from the union leaders. A "breakthrough" announced late on Friday (when most workers are travelling home) which amounts to nothing more than talks about talks with the upcoming strike, the worker's primary bargaining chip taken off the table.
With friends like these...
Public sector unions have suspended next Wednesday's planned strike action following discussions with the Government

Every week I'm contacted by families in or facing homelessness. There's a desperate need to bring the gov to heel for the wrecking ball they've taken to society on behalf of vulture funds & developers etc Let's hope the public sector strikes are also the start of a housing revolt

The UK, EU & US are all descending into deepening authoritarianism in support of the Zionist genocide of Palestine. Why? Because capitalism/ imperialism routinely genocide the populations standing in the way of their accumulation.
Civilization is incompatible with the status quo.
Solidarity Dub West retweeted
The Taoiseach is trying to recover ground with the US imperialists having felt compelled to pretend to oppose the genocide of Palestine in his UN speech a couple of weeks ago.
Welcoming this rabble of malignant Zionist propagandists is true to form for our craven government.
Today, the J7 Task Force met with Irish Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD and Secretary General of @dfatirl Joe Hackett to sound the alarm about rising antisemitism in Ireland and to urge immediate action to protect the country's Jewish community.
We've seen in our own countries how an increasingly hostile environment for Jews can lead to deadly violence, as we witnessed in Bondi, Manchester, Boulder and Washington D.C. The demonization of Israel generates and fuels the surge in antisemitism in Ireland and beyond.
We warned the Taiseaoch and the Secretery General that the conditions for an antisemitic terrorist attack are sadly all too evident in Ireland, and Ireland cannot afford to wait for a tragedy before acting.
