Ireland's ruling class is inextricably tied to Western imperialism & capitalism. Behind all the pretty words the government endorses & practically supports the industrial slaughter of the Palestinian people. Murderous hypocrites the lot of them. #GazaGenocide

Still can't quite believe that when a boat carrying people seeking a better life sinks and kills 90, it registers as barely a blip on the news cycle Yet when a yacht carrying billionaires sinks, it's 3-day front page, rolling live ticker news theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Capitalism is structurally & utterly incapable of addressing the #ClimateEmergency because it has a limitless appetite for profit which is fundamentally derived from the exploitation of workers & the environment. Any scientist not explaining this is deceiving us.

Did RTE stop using the slyly loaded phrase "Hamas run health ministry" in their Gaza reports last night & if so what prompted the change?Regardless we won't forget that the notional public broadcaster ran cover for a manifest genocide over 11 long & bloody months. #GazaGenocide‌

The PDs & Renua were both on the extreme right of the economic spectrum & the pair functioned as political bridgeheads for the normalisation of reactionary ideas in society. The #FarRight & fascism are first & foremost a vehicle to protect the privilege of capitalist class.

The Leaving Cert & points race are an intolerable burden on the shoulders of our young. 2nd level education was once the preserve of a privileged minority. It's time to open up 3rd level & apprenticeships etc to all who wish to attend & eliminate the toxic points race.

Being Irish confers no particular virtue. The ugly racism of the #FarRight in Dundrum is the same as that seen in English cities this month. They both reflect the deep crisis of capitalism which must find scapegoats to blame lest the legitimacy of the system be broadly questioned

There will be an election in a couple of months. A vote for the government parties means choosing to make children homeless in Ireland & facilitating the IDF to burn children alive in Palestine. Behind all the pretty words these are the actual domestic & foreign policies.

Residents have been in touch about issues with the Manna Drones that were introduced to Dublin 15 in the past few months. We want to hear from residents with any questions about the drones to put to the management. Please email me at [email protected].

The article assumes that the state is acting on our behalf which isn't the case. As a capitalist state it's operating against the interests of most of the population (the working class) for most of the time. E.g #HousingCrisis has been engineered to enrich capital at our expense

The EU is a hyper capitalist project so it inevitably displays the morbid symptoms of that socioeconomic system including the reactionaries of the #FarRight & ultimately fascism. We urgently need instead a democratic economy which meets the needs of all. Socialism or barbarism.

Elections & "democracy" are just a thin veil over capitalism's innate authoritarianism which is necessary for the will of a minority to be imposed on a majority. The primary purpose of the capitalist state & its coercive apparatus is to ensure this remains the case.

Over the past few months local residents in Dublin 15 have reached out to myself and Cllr. John Burtchaell-Socialist Party & Solidarity about the impact that Drones are having on residents. I have put forward a motion for the management of manna drones to be questioned about the issues residents have.

I joined parents today on an autism protest and asked Jack Chambers would he introduce an #autism package in his #Budget? He said he would ‘talk to colleagues’! Should this not have occurred to him before? Let’s keep the pressure on to resolve the autism, and care crisis.

You won't see it any of their glossy election brochures but our political establishment facilitated religious fundamentalists to torture & rape thousands of children at home & are presently enabling other zealots to murder & maim thousands of children abroad.

I just got this motion passed but it seems #farright cllrs don’t really want more social & affordable housing built, just like to use it to stir racism. Because National Party Cllr Quinlan ABSTAINED. Local people on housing list or priced out of homes should take note. #dubw
