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?

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 […]

From the Fields of Ireland to the Hills of Palestine: A History Bearing Witness to Injustice

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 […]
