Another line from the same Ardfheis: "members well understand their standing among the oppressed peoples of the Third World, to which we belong, and among their own people."

Obviously Ireland and the Free State is nowhere near as impoverished now as it was in the 1970s. But the amount of revisionism going around from "nationalists" about when the republican movement was supposedly based, purely inward looking and fascist is getting ridiculous

"Ireland is in the front line of the resistance of the Third World, with all the responsabilities that go with that role of glory".
Ruairí Ó Brádaigh at the 1977 Sinn Féin Ardfheis.

“These boys used a stone and they hit me on the head on my way back from work all dressed in my nursing uniform.
“What was the response when I shared my story online? It was ‘Ireland is tired of immigrants, you should go back home.’ Nobody cares what you do, even though they know I’m a nurse. There is no safety for us, that is the truth."
A Nigerian nurse who has worked in Belfast for five years has said the latest scenes of racist violence has made her want to leave Northern Ireland.

The obfuscation going on about who is responsible for the racist pogrom in Belfast is staggering, driven either by those who are trying to hide Britain's role in facilitating these fascist gangs, or people terrified of being called "sectarian" for pointing out the obvious.

Who set up the Loyalist Communities Council which includes the UVF, UDA and Red Hand Commando? Labour ghoul Jonathan Powell, formerly Tony Blair's chief of staff.

Finn McRedmond continues to be the most pig ignorant Irish commentator going. The coherent right wing force exists, it's called Loyalism. It is in fact the most coherent fascist force in Europe with 12,500 confirmed members of associated paramilitary groups

In Belfast, like in the Republic, a housing crisis has met increased immigration and created a tinderbox. In England, the Boriswave, asylum hotels, the X accounts chronicling every instance of urban decay, have tumbled into one throbbing ball of energy. When Nigel Farage said last year that no one realised how close the country was to civil disobedience “on a vast scale”, perhaps he was right, though, it is important to say, we are not there yet. Rioting is now regular, but it is not – yet – widespread. More than anywhere, Northern Ireland should have a readymade rhetorical framework to describe ethnic conflict, though its establishment was quick to try to deflect the crisis elsewhere. “The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by the English, right-wing politicians to further their own end” said one centrist Northern Irish MP; “This has nothing to do with community” said Michelle O’Neill, the First Minister. Meanwhile, the burning cars of the previous night’s pogrom continued to smoulder. Ireland – North and South – is unique in its absence of a coherent political force on the right to channel all this energy at the ballot box. Sinn Fein has long departed from its republican, working-class roots – embracing the liberalism of its political rivals in the Republic, at least. Without anyone to ventriloquise the rage, protesters on the island will keep searching for political expression they can’t find in the mainstream – for now, in stochastic, sporadic episodes of pitchfork wielding on the streets. But one thing is clear – moments of extreme violence, like the attempted beheading in North Belfast on Monday night or the Southport stabbings – are having a flattening effect. England is not just transforming into a flag-wielding, rioting nation; but Northern Ireland looks like England in its own ways too; a burnt-out bus in Dublin looks remarkably like a burnt-out bus in Belfast. For the first time in its existence, Northern Ireland may be parsable to an England that has long found it alien, weird and foreign. By @finn_mcredmond newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

No to racist pogroms!
Comrades on the ground are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.
All $ to transport, emergency accommodation and urgent supplies for families.

High profile dissident says republicans will be ‘mobilising’ to ‘defend’ homes targeted in disorder belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

@SeamusMor19 You pretend to oppose Loyalists while agreeing with everything they do bar openly waving the union jack. An absolute gift to the Brits and their occupation
English
A fella in a Catholic area had his face carved up by an African in the street and while loyalists lash out against immigrants, the response from republicans like yourself is to rally behind the British government’s immigration policy. Concerning
If this is the template for what happens in the north from here on out, then I’m sorry to say that ten years from now, there will still be loyalist areas, but there won’t be any Catholic or nationalist areas that have not been thoroughly diluted. I am begging you not to be shortsighted.

Loyalist scum committing yet another pogrom while "Irish patriots" cheer on from the side lines. Degenerates one and all

@TomAyeAye You're a rat who wants the Brit planters to do what you're too afraid to do in your nazi fantasies.

Fascist scumlike Nolan in the south fantasise about having even half the mobilising power of Loyalism, so they have to pretend this isn't yet another settler rampage
