On this day in 1916, Irish Republican and socialist revolutionary James Connolly was executed by Britain after the violent crushing of the Easter Rising. He went a step further than many Irish Republicans in not only calling for independence from British domination, but also freedom from ‘capitalism, landlords, and financiers’, realising that real independence could only be achieved if Ireland was free from the control of the British Empire’s capitalist class. He used his position as a trade union leader to use strikes and industrial action as a pathway to a workers’ republic, using the Irish Citizen Army, formed to protect the picket lines and demonstrations of the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union, as part of the armed struggle against Britain. Following the failed Easter Rising of 1916 which he helped command, and the brutal crackdown to put down the uprising, James Connolly was executed by Britain, along with six other signatories of Proclamation of the Irish Republic. The sacrifice of the Irish martyrs, executed or massacred by British forces would not be in vain, inspiring the Irish masses to participate in the struggle against British rule for Irish independence.

@thechosenberg I believe it was Marx. Very rare case of him being wrong.

@Remigrate_UK @AlcOfAlbion @0Calamity Go on, why?

@V0NJONI @AlcOfAlbion @0Calamity Surely if someone is living in the UK that’d be LESS of a reason to wave one’s ethnic flag

Can you even begin to imagine what would happen if a bunch of Turks turned up at Dover and did this?

@UTDPressure @Ihatevenkys @BladeoftheS What do you mean?

@V0NJONI @Ihatevenkys @BladeoftheS If you can’t see where this is heading then you’re doomed mate 🤣

Hilarious video that shows none of the Reform voters know any of Reform's policies.

@Ihatevenkys @BladeoftheS Aye maybe so, but then what? We just continue to make these Politics Joe-style videos, sneering at the stupidity and never addressing the conditions that create that ignorance?

@BladeoftheS Dumb as fence posts.

@BladeoftheS A lot more depressing than it is hilarious

@LondonLabour My respect for the Greens has skyrocketed. Thanks for sharing, losers 😄

Let's meet the Green candidates @ZackPolanski thinks are fit to represent London 🧵

@JamTarts @OFX I would take a fat, bald, David Martindale-lookalike Hun then out him to the Gorgie end, incurring their wrath.

@AlcOfAlbion @0Calamity Good man 😂

@V0NJONI @0Calamity I agree. I’m going to Marmaris next month and I can assure you I’ll have far better things to do there than marching around waving flags 😂

@AlcOfAlbion @0Calamity They’re likely living in the UK and aren’t spending their holiday marching about like subservient gimps, though. Bit of a difference 😄

@0Calamity This is in the UK. Have you been to Germany? You'll see Turkish flags everywhere.

@nathan23242 @bonnie72379 @dons_report 😂😂😂

@bonnie72379 @dons_report Being jealous because he’s earned it through working hard unlike you who probably claims benefits and spends it all away on shite. Why should he not have these items if he’s worked hard for it if you were in his shoes are you not gonna spend your money 🤡

Elect a WOKE independence majority tomorrow!! Scotland welcomes everyone except the English. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚

@sandasna @taurusqueen420

@taurusqueen420 Imagine being this privileged. If you were born in Nepal you don’t have time for mental health, you work or die. In North Korea you go out to look for bugs to eat because the state keep all the food for elites, you don’t worry about your mental health because you are starving.

so i’ve never worked all my life (i’m nearly 25) due to my mental health being so severe but i’ve just applied for my first lil job🙏🏼

@Red_Flags_Press I fucking love seeing this advert. Keep up the hilarious work, lads 👍

100s of damning and revealing quotes from celebrated socialsits. That's the foundation of our new book, Socialism Says, currently available for $9.99 (50% off) with free shipping and bonus papers. Chapter 3 explores socialism's disdain for our liberal rights.

@Jake_Ventham @PolitlcsUK Imagine sticking up for the exploitative, parasitic super rich. That’s the ‘friends of the working class’ Reform attitude right there. You’re never gonna be one of them. Stop being a bootlicker.

@PolitlcsUK Do the Super rich not also pay the price ?

🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski has called for the Government to temporarily ban private jet travel amid potential jet fuel shortages "While ordinary people pay the price, the super rich are simply getting in their private jets at will – wasting huge amounts of jet fuel"

@twitfacetime @Davidha07744884 @jbceltic7604 Again, it’s almost as if capitalism isn’t working for 99.999999% of the world’s population. Small business owners like yourself included. But believing in the societal benefits of socialism makes me a fantasist? Okay doke. Enjoy your Sunday and don’t work too hard 😄

A multi millionaire coffee shop owner not wanting to pay human fucking beings 15 fucking bangers an hour, vote Reform ya bunch of silly bastards. Unreal.

@twitfacetime @Davidha07744884 @jbceltic7604 But that exists within capitalism. ‘Benevolent capitalism’ is still capitalism and you obviously have faith in that, and good luck to you. But if people have a genuine stake in a healthy society run for them, I’d argue that’s one of the many incentives of a socialist society.

@twitfacetime @Davidha07744884 @jbceltic7604 It’s almost as if capitalism doesn’t work.

@twitfacetime @Davidha07744884 @jbceltic7604 Exactly. Where is the incentive? Organisations should be incentivised to prioritise human life. Businesses don’t need to make profit, humans do need to live. I’m not interested in parasitic business people being incentivised to exploit.

@twitfacetime @Davidha07744884 @jbceltic7604 You surely know what I’m talking about, cmon now.
