Let us be clear: there is no ceasefire in Gaza or Palestine. The reality is that despite a genocidal campaign, the Zionist military and its imperialist backers have failed to militarily defeat the guerrilla resistance or break the will of the Palestinian people. Up to 200,000 tons of largely American […]
Imagine the sheer number of protests that have erupted across the globe since the genocide in occupied Palestine began on October 7th, 2023. Here in Ireland, we have witnessed an unprecedented wave of civil disobedience in virtually every village, town, and city—a pattern replicated worldwide. We have been inundated with condemnatory statements […]
Twenty-first-century imperialism can no longer rely on classic colonialism to transfer surplus from the Global South to the Global North. Instead, neoliberalism offshores production to low-wage countries, manufacturing commodities at lower costs by pushing wages below subsistence levels. This model requires sustained poverty in the Global South as a fundamental precondition for […]
Comrades and friends, On behalf of the Robert Emmet 1916 Society, it is an honour to stand in Manchester to commemorate three bold Fenians—William Allen, Michael Larkin, and Michael O’Brien—whose courage continues to fuel our unfinished struggle. We are not spectators of history, but participants in a living revolution. Empire […]
The olive harvest in Palestine is more than an agricultural event; it is a centuries-old national ritual, a living testament to the deep, material connection between the Palestinian people and their land. Yet, in 2025, this season of sustenance and solidarity was transformed into one of terror and confrontation, revealing […]
The 15th World Socialist Forum (3-4 November, Beijing, Chinese Academy of History) and the Zhejiang University International Academic Forum (7 November, Hangzhou, Zhejiang University Library) hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) are important platforms for academics, social scientists, Marxists, and activists to exchange ideas. They are particularly […]
For another year, the COP (Conference of the Parties) climate summit has proven to be an exercise in the most cynical of language games. The evasive jargon of COP remains an accurate reflection of the power relations in the world’s energy market, and a testament to its universal disregard for […]
The misery of academia in Ireland today reflects the deep subordination of intellectual life to the intertwined forces of Zionism, capital, and militarised research. The Irish university has become an instrument of Zionist-dominated imperialist, geopolitical, and corporate power. Ireland’s universities now operate under the neoliberal laws of profit, where the language of […]
Capitalist liberal democracy—that is, the tolerance for alternative ideas and debate under capitalism—is tolerated only so long as those ideas do not gain sufficient traction to pose a material threat to the system itself. The suppression of support for Palestine and opposition to genocide across Europe is a prime example. […]
The Guardian recently reported that International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva admitted the rapid rise of non-bank lending “keeps me awake every so often at night” (“Head of IMF says risks in private credit market keep her awake at night”, The Guardian, 16 October 2025). The Financial Times […]
The olive harvest season in Palestine begins in mid-October. The following is a report from a single day as an international volunteer assisting farmers in the West Bank. Names and locations are omitted to protect Palestinians, volunteers, and the author from Israeli regime reprisal. We rise again today at 5:30 […]
A month ago, the police assault on Kitty O’Brien, an Irish activist attending a pro-Palestine demonstration in Berlin, made the news nationally and internationally. It was another reminder of the repression and violence the German state employs against Palestine solidarity. Often racialised and steeped in Islamophobia, the German anti-Palestine drive […]
The current dispute between the US and China relating to the supply of microchips has more profound implications than a one-off spat over trade. It points to a fundamental change in the global economic system, as the realisation is dawning on Washington and Brussels that the People’s Republic is inexorably […]
The 3rd International Meeting of the Theoretical Publications of Leftist Parties and Movements (15–17 October) and the 1st Festival Granma Rebelde (17–19 October) constituted an important programme leading to the Cuban National Culture Day on 20 October this year. Organised in a period of extreme difficulty for the people of […]
The German auto industry is burning out. Next Wednesday, the production lines at Volkswagen will stand idle. According to information from Bild, production of the VW Golf at the Wolfsburg plant will be suspended. The production break will then be gradually extended to other models and to other locations. The […]
Thirty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, East Germans still earn roughly 21 percent less than their western counterparts. According to figures from the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB), full-time employees in the east make on average €13,400 less per year. Symbolically, that means from 16 October until […]
