Donal Trump remains as unpredictable as ever and never more so than with his latest pronouncement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

A new fashion dominates polite progressive politics: denouncing the billionaire. The political and media establishment now routinely laments rising inequality, yet their critique never dares to name the system that produces it. Their solution—their rallying cry—is as bold as a wet leaf: “tax the billionaires.” At first glance, the demand […]
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 […]
Ireland’s projected budget surpluses for 2025 and 2026—€10.2 billion and €5.1 billion—havesparked renewed calls from the political and media establishment for deeper militaryintegration with Europe. The Financial Times, in a recent piece labelling Ireland “the weaklink in EU defence,” claims that because Ireland hosts Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big […]
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 […]
Hardly a week passes without a new attack upon the neutrality of this state—a policy supported by the majority of the people of Ireland. It is not just an attack upon neutrality, but against the Irish people themselves. At the end of October 2025, a former senior NATO commander, Rear […]
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).

More than half a century ago, on 9 October 1967, the rifle of the Argentine revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara fell silent in the Bolivian mountains. Yet the echo of his words has remained alive across the Global South, from the Andes to the refugee camps of Gaza. Today, 58 years […]
In recent weeks, the United States has sharply escalated its attempts to throttle the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. Under the pretext of fighting drugs, the US has deployed thousands of troops, warships, a nuclear submarine, and F-35 fighter jets off the Caribbean coast of Venezuela. These forces have attacked fishing […]
Progress is never linear, consistent, smooth or at a fixed rate. Class consciousness, and its militant organisation, in the west is at a low-ebb right now, however, anti-imperialist struggle is renewed in many parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. New global alliances and formations, although not always socialist, are […]
The Communist Party of Ireland has pointed out on numerous occasions over the decades since this state joined the EEC/EU that there would be a constant erosion of neutrality and of sacrificing the limited political and economic independence secured by the Irish capitalist class. We also warned against the over […]
The “rules-based international order”—how often have we heard that phrase? It’s regularly used on the news, in newspapers, and on current affairs programmes. It even appears in government policy papers. Its constant repetition has conferred a legitimacy it does not deserve. There is a vague perception that the “rules” in […]
Eighty years ago this month, on the 6th and 9th August 1945, the United States detonated atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 250,000 people – mostly civilians. Armed with such a devastating weapon, Washington held a decisive global military advantage. However, this ended four years […]
Capitalism’s inherent logic—profit above all—drives us toward global collapse. Wars, climate breakdown, and ecological destruction are not accidents but symptoms of an economic system that demands endless growth on a finite planet, and endless destruction to sustain its growth. We are witnessing the deaththrow’s of a system in decay – […]
The Zionist entity is losing in kinetic, propaganda and cyber warfare. Following 7th October 2023, the Israeli state expanded its war machine across the region with devastating intensity. Yemen, invoking the 1951 UN Genocide Convention, declared war on Israel. In response, the United States, Britain, and Israel bombed Yemen in […]
