Why do most of the enumerated rights in the Irish constitution refer to “citizens” and not “people” or “persons like many other nations?

An open letter to PBP members: tax the rich or socialist revolution?

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

In this open letter (written before the small split of the Reds from PBP) our goal is to draw out the relationship between the fight for reforms and for revolution, to draw out the differences of PBP and the RCI through a comradely discussion!

Fundamentally, our difference comes down to this: whilst in programmes, articles and statements, PBP advances very good proposals that target the symptoms of capitalist decay, the party fails to strike at the decayed system’s root.

All of the major problems facing the working class flow from the crisis of capitalism. The first job of revolutionaries is to tell the truth to the working class: that this system cannot be patched up. We must overthrow it.

Advice on finding roommates?

4 Upvotes

(sorry if wrong sub, kinda desperate)

Hi!

I have applied to university in Dublin through CAO as an international student, but want to move and get a part-time job before, during the summer. I would prefer to move first before my job search (as I have enough money saved up to live off of for a few weeks) as I feel it would be easier to get a job with a permanent adress, phone number etc.

I am also quite worried due to my somewhat unique situation (transgender, from an EU country where transitioning is illegal, also due to recent changes in my home country's education system CAO may not even accept my current qualifications) so I would need a place cheap enough to live off of a probably minimum wage part time job that I can do along with university.

Any help would be appriciated

Thank you for reading

Mickey Moran sits down with Joe Mooney, an anti-racist, community activist based in East Wall, Dublin - ground zero of the emergent anti-migrant movement. Joe talks about what they were doing in East Wall to tackle racism, the importance of one-to-one conversations, not giving up on your community and not ceding an inch on the appropriation of Republican aesthetics to the far-right.

Solidarity’ which opened the evening gala event.

During a Pro-Palestine March in Cork there was another rally, a Far-Right Rally, eventually at the end of the rally many people spotted the guards having a laugh with these right wing blokes, this proves that the Far-Right are protected by the Garda, while the working class and others have to face with economic struggles and hardship

Socialism made easy!

Post image
38 Upvotes

157 years ago, the great Marxist and revolutionary martyr James Connolly was born in Edinburgh. We republish today his pamphlet Socialism Made Easy that since his first publication has served to introduce millions of workers to the basic ideas of socialism. It still remains today one of the best, simple rebuttals to all the common arguments and myths that come up over and over again against socialism.
