International statement 21/11/23
The NEC of the Irish Communist Party has released an analytical statement on the Israeli invasion of Gaza as it continues in order to summarise some of the slogans that must be promoted in our lines of work.
Do not be censored: raise your voice for palestine
Adam Murray writes on the struggle against censorship as pro-Palestinian voices grow louder and harder to silence.
One Man’s friend
A new article in Unity takes a closer look at the subjectivity of the appellation “terrorist” and how double standards are deeply engrained in Imperialist narratives.
Yes, we want change, but what sort of change?
Eoin Ó Murchú writes on the pressing need for Irish communists to seize the narrative of change in Ireland.
On the Escalation of Conflict Between Occupied Palestine and Apartheid Israel
Statement by the National Executive Committee of the Irish Communist Party on the Escalation of Conflict Between Occupied Palestine and Apartheid Israel.
Political Inaction Democracy in action
John Malloy writes for Unity on the new possibilities opened up by industrial action in the North, with stagnation beginning to fray from the pressure of working class demands.
Is the PUL ready to engage in a debate about Irish Unity?
Eoin Ó Murchu poses several trenchant questions on the role of the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist community in the debate for Irish Unity. An argument for local democracy may find a ready audience, and Ó Murchu argues this will pose a challenge to those who would see the European Commission ascendant in a United Ireland.
PSNI in Disarray
Lynda Walker writes on the failure of the PSNI to address its legacy of collusion, further antagonising sectarian division in society and community distrust.
The Anti-Fascist fight at home
Adam Murray writes of the re-emergence of the Irish far-right as the bourgeois state fails to keep it confined to its usual cesspits. Shameless use of Nazi imagery by the far-right in Belfast is a call to action for anti-fascists.
Shifting the Burden
Frank Keoghan shines a light on the significant loss of Irish fishing quotas as a result of Brexit. The EU’s cynical sacrifice of Ireland’s fishing sector as a bargaining chip could have serious consequences for biodiversity, livelihoods and the diversity of domestic production in Ireland, as the resulting losses are made up at the expense of underdeveloped nations.
