Pictured is the crucifix gifted to INLA Hunger Striker Patsy O'Hara by Pope John Paul II, in response to Thatcher lobbying the Catholic Church to undermine the Hunger Strikers. This is now in the Irish Republican Socialist Movement Museum, Derry City.
On this day in 2008 Christopher ‘Crip’ McWillams passed away, a dedicated Republican Socialist and defender of working-class Catholics and Nationalists.

I had a great weekend representing the IRSP in Athens at an Anti-Imperialist Conference Attended by comrades from around the world. “Death to fascism, freedom to the people!” 🚩🇮🇪
I wonder is this a historic first, that Free Derry wall has had a flag erected at it which also hangs from the various government, military and intelligence agency buildings which perpetrate(d/s) the oppression which gave rise to the wall’s very existence?
You wish. Whoever did this is a right-wing pro-imperialist Ustasha, and such are a minority in our country. Serbs cannot wait to see Britain torn to pieces by the peoples it colonized. Long live united Ireland! 🇷🇸🇮🇪

Communism in Ireland has its own unique character. Clowns to the right and yuppies to 'the left' (gender and race fetishists) are misrepresenting it with americanised politicking.
Communists in Ireland died on Hunger Strike and on active service, it is the ideology of patriots.
Another great Anti-Imperialist Symposium in the Exarcheia area of Athens, which I attended and addressed on behalf of the IRSP, discussing relevant matters with comrades from around the world. Bás do NATO, bás don fhaisisteachas, saoirse do na daoine! 🇮🇪🚩
PSNI Interfering with the Democratic Process in West Belfast.
Over the weekend, members of Dan Murphy’s Election team in West Belfast have came under significant harrasment from the PSNI in West Belfast.

Antifascists and Communists in Donbas who have been fighting a life-and-death struggle against NATO-backed Nazis in Ukraine for 8 years are having their credentials questioned by ‘leftists’ in Ireland whose idea of radicalism is blocking landlords’ phone lines and dodging showers
A catholic priest has thrown red paint at a Russian Embassy. This is hypocritical as he had no concern for the victims of Ukrainian Neo Nazis. But it as an improvement I suppose on throwing women into forced labour, children into homes and babies into septic tanks.
@DonaldCourter
They’ll have to ban most of the Communist organisations from the region affected then who support demilirarisation and denazification… including Putin’s biggest political opponents the CPRF…
@irspireland
@redoctoberirp
-Ukrainian Neo-Nazis overthrow a democratically elected government and murder civilians they perceive as opponents. Antifascists and threatened ethnic groups resist the new regime and are backed by Russia…
-People with no grasp of reality: “OMG you support this 😱”
I don’t know if they should have wasted their time, but it is good to see the Communist Party of the Russian Federation demolishing the nonsense coming from the Greek KKE and the western pro-imperialist, pro-Nazi ‘left’.
IFAI activists were in the north inner city of Dublin tonight with posters bearing slogans against NATO. The only country which has ever attacked Ireland and continues to occupy Ireland is a NATO member! NATO is our enemy

..and my DMs on any platform are always open in confidence to anyone wanting a genuine discussion, regardless of their current/past allegiances. We need to fight back against degenerate yuppie scum who are denigrating the name of Republican Socialism.
@BASEDIrishRebel
I saw that. Death penalty material.
But I’m not sure if it counts as according to the libs-disguised-as-lefties, the attacker actually identifies as a white French woman.
@Corco_90
A1. They will do nothing substantive anyway. Allowing street violence is a part of their efforts to make the inner city uninhabitable for its current residents. “Now they drive them from the city, to make way for all the yuppies”.
Before Russia’s Special Operation against the Ukronazis, Irish establishment routinely highlighted Nazi control in Ukraine. They then denied it. They are now calling for the cancelling of events marking the defeat of the Nazis with pressure from ‘the Ukrainian community’
Irish Unity is a done deal. Brexit has expedited the process. Irish and international Capitalists are putting the footings in place to ensure this ‘new Ireland’ will suit them to the detriment of the Working Class. Only token ‘working-class’ voices are to be ‘given a say’.

This isn’t an irp publication, I think the tweet means that those who published this also published the Ta Power document, which is a bit of a contradiction. The idea that there will be working-class unity between Protestants and Catholics before partition ends is fantasy.
An elderly Ukrainian man who was shot in Mariupol by Ukrainian forces in 2014 while celebrating the defeat of the Nazis. They will never do this again- denazification.
NATO is the armed wing of the most aggressive brand of international capitalism, breaking down borders to exploit countries. Its growth is a threat to any prospect of human freedom. Any impediment to it must be welcomed.
@anfiancaillte
@ilchinealach
The attempts in the 70s & thereafter to undermine armed struggle using Marxist jargon (coming from those who could neither understand nor apply it in practice) can be undermined by reading any of Marx or Engels’ pieces on Ireland. Both were active supporters of the Fenians.
After being alerted to videos of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russians in the groin, burning swastikas into women and stabbing civilians, the Irish Trade Union Movement is calling on the Ukrainian government to ensure the soldiers are given therapeutical and emotional support.
@BASEDIrishRebel
An extensive breakdown of idpol's rise within socialism is needed. But it's detrimental and alien to the ideology. By accident or design it is alienating the working class. Genuine Republican Socialists need to stand by the idea, and put a nail in the coffin of this perversion.
Note: Any latter-day ‘left-wing’ party in Ireland whose key members were hiding in pubs, cafes, libraries or such whilst loyalist/fascist death squads hunted civilians in the north are never going to stand up to the vultures behind the housing market or international capitalism.
Oh no, Iran engaging in military operations in a separate and sovereign country. Wait ‘til the ‘no war but class war’ fantasists hear about this... ‘Neither Zionism nor Khameini’ posts incoming 🤦♂️.
