The truth about Paul Murphy is this: That if there were, ever, a fully socialist Ireland, he would denounce it as not socialist enough.
When it comes to environmental disasters, who do you generally imagine is responsible? We generally tend to think of an evil rightwing industrial capitalist with a top hat and monocle. Some lad who looks like the Monopoly man, laughing maniacally and twirling his moustache as his money machine pumps toxic fumes into the upper atmosphere. […]
As the Irish Left roar and shout about the travesty that is the cost of living crisis, never forget that they, with the government, advocated for policies which directly contributed to it. @Ben_Scallan comments.
It’s no secret that Ireland, like many countries, is experiencing a serious cost of living crisis, fueled by inflation and a European energy crunch. Average families are facing a projected €1,300 increase in energy costs this year alone, and according to the CSO, inflation in Ireland rose 3.7% last year – the sharpest rise since […]
Landlords in Ireland are fleeing the market in record numbers. Here is a secret: They are not fleeing the market because there is too little regulation.
Honestly, why has nobody thought of a solution to high rents that was this simple before?
Watch the whole video here, so you can be sure that we’re not being unfair to Aodhán O’Riordáin, Labour TD, and, apparently, staunch opponent of owning your own home: During today's debate @AodhanORiordain raised the issue of changing the way we view housing and put a bigger emphasis on creating diverse communities creating a better […]
It is not surprising that cultural and political theorists like influential Slovenian philosopher, Salvoj Žizek, are already mapping out the societal changes they believe, or hope, will follow the socio-economic devastation of successive lockdowns. It is clear that governments all over the world have bought time at a cost unprecedented in peacetime. There will be […]
One of these days, my friends, Ireland will find itself facing a problem to which Paul Murphy’s answer will not be “seize all private property”. But it is not this day. Here he is, popping up on RTE’s Drive Time radio programme to advocate….. seizing hotels and turning them into Government prison camps quarantine facilities […]
This is so stupid that it’s going to be hard to get 700 words in, explaining exactly how stupid it is. But we’ll give it a go: A former TD says a derogation should be made for essential protests during the pandemic. It comes amid plans for protests demanding more be done to tackle violence […]
This is not an article about cannibalism, but something which has led to cannibalism – socialism. Socialism is popular today among young college going students and people in their 30s and 40s. This is confirmed by survey after survey in the USA which reveals a decline in support for capitalism. Support for individual policies that […]
For years, Bernie Sanders’ critics have accused him and his campaign of political radicalism and holding fringe, far-Left positions. His opponents often claim that he is a crypto-socialist (if not full-blown communist) who wants to smuggle dangerous and extreme ideas into the White House under a moderate guise. Sanders, of course, vigorously denies these allegations. […]
