"I've been accused of standing on a picket and if I could do it all over again tomorrow I'll be with them, because they're the real people of Ireland." Well said Richard O'Donoghue and extra points for referring to Timmy Dooley as "Timmy Dolittle" in the Dáil 😂

Disgusting!

I have noticed a considerable uptick from communists and socialists attempting entryism recently. Some attempts are more subtle than others but I am choosing to highlight this one as it is a more blatant example of the practice. The move here was to use a quote from Connolly, and then set up a false binary where nationalism without socialism is unfinished or incomplete, leaving the nationalist with two options, either accept socialism as a condition of his own nationalism, or be cast as a lesser heir to the tradition. This trick only works if you accept their framing that nationalism and socialism are just two parallel political ideologies of equal rank that need each other to be whole. They aren’t. Nationalism isn’t a competing economic doctrine. It’s the frame inside which economic questions get answered. It asks one question before all others, does this serve the Irish nation and her people? Every policy, every economic tool, every tradition stands or falls by that test. Socialism, distributism, protectionism, free enterprise, etc., all of them are instruments. The nation is not. It is the entity that should be served by those instruments. Socialism by contrast is internationalist by design. They preach about “workers of the world” while ignoring the workers of Ireland. The moment you put political or economic ideology above the national question instead of below it, you’ve inverted the whole order and the nation becomes something that is negotiable. Which is the entire point of the entryism. The goal is to get nationalists to treat their nationhood as one half of a synthesis or ideology rather than the supreme governing principle around which the state should be ordered. The Irish nationalist tradition is far older, far broader and far deeper than just one wing of 1916. It runs through Pearse, Griffith, the Gaelic League, and the ordinary Irish people of our towns and parishes. Connolly is one voice in that tradition, not the apex of it. That tradition certainly doesn’t belong to the modern Irish left who have spent decades operating as foot soldiers who serve the interests of global capital, walking in lockstep with corporations on every major social issue. They gleefully advocated for the importation of a replacement workforce that undercut the wages of Irish workers because those people are “workers of the world” according to their beliefs. They objected to the calls to ring-fence property ownership for Irish people in the midst of a housing crisis. They smeared anyone who said our tax money should be spent exclusively on our own people as racist. They take funding from the very interests they pretend to oppose, read from the script those interests write, and then call anyone who objects to this arrangement a fascist. The left has no right to lecture Irish people on labour while backing every policy that crushed the Irish worker they claim to care so much about. A new nationalist movement is being built in this country, and it is being built without individuals like this and their subversive ideology. It will have its own answers on labour, on land, on family, on industry, drawn from our own tradition and judged by one standard only, does it serve the Irish nation and her people? Connolly will have his place in it. So will Pearse, Griffith, Clarke, and every single member of our patriot dead who spent their lives putting the interests of the Irish people before themselves. There is no place in it for people who bastardise their legacy while serving any ideology or interests that undermine the Irish people. The nation comes first. Everything else is downstream.

Very concerning!

Maybe we should have more fuel protests 🤷
