International
From Gaza to Sao Paulo
In recent years, the government of São Paulo, led by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, has spent over 37 million Brazilian Reais on contracts with Israeli military companies. These include Israel Weapons Industries, Meprolight, and Cellebrite, known for their weapons and surveillance technologies. These tools, often described as “combat-tested,” are now […]
US Escalates Imperial Aggression Against Venezuela
In recent weeks, the United States has sharply escalated its attempts to throttle the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela.

These forces have attacked fishing […]
UCD’s Dirty War Against UCD Encampment: Silence is Violence
The ‘Break the Chains of Academic Zionism’ encampment at University College Dublin is heading into its third week.

[…]
International Solidarity Visit with the Lebanese and Palestinian People: Beirut, September 2025
Leaving Ireland to be with the communist parties of the world in Beirut brought mixed feelings of huge pride and not a little trepidation. Would we be stopped, harassed, or deported on our journey? Would the Occupation decide to annihilate the comrades? I thought of Donnelly and the brigaders, the obstacles […]
The Communist Party as the Vanguard – Lenin’s Lessons for Today
Over the first seven articles in this series, we demonstrated how public ownership, democratic planning, and socialist economics offer a compelling alternative to the chaos, inequality, and destruction of capitalism. But economic theory—no matter how coherent—remains inert without the political power to implement it. Equally, political power without a class-based economic programme devolves […]
GHF: Weaponising Humanitarian Aid as a Colonial Tool in Gaza
Since February 2025, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has presented itself as a relief initiative to ease hunger and suffering in Gaza, promising food, water, medicine, and shelter while blocking aid from reaching Hamas. Yet, this condition revealed its deeper purpose: aid transformed into a political weapon to reshape Palestinian […]
USA AND RUSSIAN FEDERATION ALASKA SUMMIT
The Alaska Summit between the USA and the Russian Federation carried historic weight. It was not just another diplomatic meeting; it symbolised the irreversible declaration that the Zionist-dominated Western unipolar world is finished. The central issue was the Ukrainian conflict, under the motto of “pursuing peace”. On the table sat […]
From the Fields of Ireland to the Hills of Palestine: A History Bearing Witness to Injustice
In past centuries, Ireland endured one of the harshest colonial experiences in European history. During the British era, Irish farmers saw their lands confiscated and were forcibly displaced from their farms to make way for Protestant settlers from England and Scotland. This policy—known as the Plantation Policy—entailed the large-scale seizure […]
No MAS: A View on Bolivia’s Elections from the Highest City in the World
Last month’s spectacular collapse of Bolivia’s Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) has felled one of the last bastions of Latin America’s “Pink Tide”, dealing a devastating blow to the country’s indigenous, peasant, and working classes. Now, Bolivians must choose between two right-wing candidates in the country’s first-ever runoff elections, while progressive […]
Guerrilla Warfare and Death by a Thousand Cuts
The guerrilla fighters of the Palestinian Resistance have taken the various doctrines on guerrilla warfare to a whole new level in their two years of fighting the genocidal, Zionist, Israeli army. After two years, in areas that the Israelis claim to have “pacified” and turned into rubble, the guerrillas are still inflicting major […]

We need to break free from a declining EU imperial bloc
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 […]
Strengthening Ties Between Irish and Chinese Marxists
The Communist Party of Ireland (CPI) recently welcomed a visiting delegation from the Institute of Marxism at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) to Dublin for a series of bilateral engagements and discussions.

Who makes the rules and why?
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 […]
