The Break the Academic Chains of Zionism (BACZ) encampment at University College Dublin (UCD) is now the longest-running university encampment in Ireland. It has done more than expose the complicity of Irish academia in the machinery of Zionist settler-colonialism. It has revealed something deeper and far more damning: the profound […]
Across the hills between Nablus, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Hebron, extremist settler groups have grown into organized violent formations that intimidate Palestinians on a daily basis. Comprised mainly of ideologically driven young religious settlers, these groups have become the most dangerous field arm in Israel’s project to assert control over West […]
Donal Trump remains as unpredictable as ever and never more so than with his latest pronouncement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Just when Europe’s leading advocates of endless war were anticipating increased US participation in the conflict on behalf of the Kiev regime, Trump disappointed them. The Whitehouse […]
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 […]
