On The Shoulders Of Giants

It’s time for the Republican socialists to enter the fray.

Irish Republican Socialist Party, Phoenix Park 1901.

It is no secret that Irelands Nationalist movement, south of the border, is a young movement. Reborn out of necessity, many of its figures, including myself, had no political experience or past membership of an organisation to rely on. We formulated community groups organically and unofficially. Through these decentralised associations of necessity we fought civil rights issues such as lockdowns, medical sovereignty and free speech. Identifying our common creed as anti-globalism and pro sovereignty, Nationalist was the title that stuck. This all happened in and around 2020. Many of us began to ask in the early days, where are the IRA? We expected the dissident rebellious underbelly of Irish Nationalism to appear and provide leadership and experience to fresh surge in Irish patriotism. It was through their absence, your absence, we learned that the world of politics was not as it seemed. Strangely enough we were being called “Fascists” by state funded NGO’s seemingly in an attempt to send these Republican movements we so desperately anticipated meeting after us. Still they were nowhere to be seen, friend or foe, bar one hotel incident in Fermanagh. It wasn’t until the emergence of Malachy Steenson in 2022 on the issue of immigration that we met our first verifiably seasoned Republican willing to put his cap in the ring on behalf of the people. Even though the powers that be and their paid agitators tried to drive a wedge between us, labelling us as far right and Malachy as a “Stickie” communist we threw cold water on the labels and accepted his leadership and experience with open arms. The East Wall Protest was born proving that more so than any attachment to doctrine, it was nationalism, the connection between us as an Irish people that brought us together.

National Liberation includes the preservation of national identity and culture

Immigration is one of those issues that is hot topic but only because the liberal society we live in now has pushed political correctness into hyperdrive. I am not going to tell the full tale of immigration here, I’ve told it a hundred times or more. I just want to state that the level of immigration, the profiteering and use of these people to dilute the labour market shouldn’t have to be explained to any member of society who values their own labour, life and culture. It shouldn’t have to be explained to the parents of children how dangerous and hateful this all is against the native Irish but the one group of society this certainly shouldn’t have to be explained to is the Republican Socialists. It should not have to be explained that cheap foreign labour is a threat to our way of life. It has directly affected mine and many others like me. This is why it absolutely pains me to see all the activism and network building I have been through, meeting all kinds of people from different political persuasions that I have seen nothing from the Republican movement in way of defending the people from uncontrolled capitalist attack on our labour market under the false pretence of anti-racism.

I admit I go further than the socialist argument. I admit that I go into race, the Irish race being a concept found in the DNA of the Irish rebellions over the decades and indeed a concept held dearly by everyone who signed the Proclamation in 1916. Does this make me literally hitler then? As the liberal Antifa astroturfing operation would have all of the Republicans believe? Not even close and you all know it. It makes me a traditionalist inside the context of the ideals that founded this Nation. I have to address you, the Republican movement directly in this article because it is time to draw a line under the Americanised culture war stuff and particularly so in the wake of the revelations surrounding Elon Musks call to open up the US labour market to the Far East. Working class Americans don’t stand a chance in a system where 6% of new jobs go to the native white population. Here at home, Corporate DEI programs have decimated native workers rights over the last five years and now these visa schemes, which ring fence job offers to cheap foreign applicants only, are set to be used to continue the replacement and impoverishment of the Irishman in his own country. As pressure builds against DEI the visa schemes are the new scam that will be pivoted to. Changing from North African to Indian labour will be presented to the Irish public soon enough. In fact it is already in full operation as you will see from the graph below.

I have seen many Republican groups entertain the idea that we, an organic uprising of citizens against a corporatised machine, are somehow a fascistic emergence or front for a deeper, darker group in the shadows. I have seen claims of links to Loyalism etc and the truth is that all of those things are real. Those group’s have attempted to infiltrate and control us. To some measure they achieved single instances of success. Momentary lapses of judgement, allowing individuals to get hold of a microphone at a rally or two or a handful handicaps marching in Belfast with loyalists to get likes and subscribes from Tommy Robinson and the wider Zionist media network for instance. These things a symptoms of what I will call a globalised right wing hive mind which pushes the belief that you share more in common with people from other lands along political lines than you do with your own blood. As a nationalist I and many others reject that notion. We have successfully put those attempts to mar us down. We remain Irish and nationalist. We support the 32 county republic. The vast majority of us are the product of the Republican movement and look up to it. We respect it. That should be enough. And it is.

Nothing could be more out of place in Connolly’s version of a socialist Ireland than a trans Lenin flag.

No Republican movement should be separated from any community level or national issue. Nor should Republican groups be so selective about association that they alienate a fresh generation of Irish people who are willing to get up off the couch and mobilise against the establishment. This puritanism has separated the republicans entirely from the political movements in the south. You should have been involved in the anti-lockdown protests. You should have been involved in the immigration protests from the start. Your absence then and now has been the result of liberal rhetoric, espoused by state funded groups loosely dressed in quasi-socialist bunting. The very mention by these people of the word “racist” or “fascist” sends republicans into a deep sleep. This level of power, the use of mere words to incapacitate an entire tradition of dissident rebellion, has neutered what should have been the leadership of this movement. These liberal activists are mercenaries of stake-holder capitalism and have enjoyed the benefits of keeping republicanism an entity of remembrances only and not one of new horizons, all the while plundering our land and our culture for the EU and globalism. Antifa, a product of European Socialist thought, has completely separated Irish Nationalism from Irish socialism. These European Socialists have pushed every single type of perversion in the name of socialism in complete repugnancy to the socialism born of Ireland. In his writings such as Wages and Other Things (1904), James Connolly wrote:

In the first place, I have long been of opinion that the Socialist movement elsewhere was to a great extent hampered by the presence in its ranks of faddists and cranks, who were in the movement, not for the cause of Socialism, but because they thought they saw in it a means of ventilating their theories on such questions as sex, religion, vaccination, vegetarianism, etc., and I believed that such ideas had or ought to have no place in our programme or in our party. I held that, if under the Socialist Republic individuals desired to have a Freethinker’s propagandist, a Jewish Rabbi, a mesmerist, a Catholic priest, a Salvation captain, a professional clown, or a Protestant divine, they would be perfectly free to maintain them for any of these purposes provided that society was reimbursed for the loss of their labour. In other words, that Socialism was compatible with the greatest intellectual freedom, or even freakishness. And that, therefore, we were as a body concerned only with the question of political and economic freedom for our class. We could not claim to have a mission to emancipate the human mind from all errors, for the simple reason that we were not and are not the repositories of all truth. These simple propositions, as they appear to me, I saw to be neglected by the tendency on the part of the European Socialists as a whole to make their press and platform the stumping ground for every idea that had the distinction of being unconventional or in any manner a protest against established ideas.

It is clear from Connolly’s writings then, what has happened here today in modern Ireland. What has happened is that any Catholic, traditionalist, heterosexual, parent or native that airs a grievance against these absurd times is immediately a proto-fascist and should be silenced. Their tongues cut out and their liberty swept away. Being Irish is now a privilege did you know? How dare we? No. We are are not lie down merchants. In the south we have indeed suffered multiple generations of post-colonial ignorance. We have been dragged out of our freedom and into the EU. We have been softened up and deradicalised. However, people like me are old enough to remember the tail end of the action in the 90’s. I watched it on the telly as a child. I watched as my identity, the Irish man, fought against the bastards. Those outsiders. That stuck with me as did the words my mother spoke. As did the words my grandfather spoke. She loved Bobby Sands, my Grandfather Dan Breen. Socialism or whatever the fuck never even came into it. It was National Identity. That’s were the pride was.

Cheap labour camp/plantation. In what version of socialism is this acceptable?

We see the EU, as do you, as an imperialist entity. We see this empire as a new Britain. Rather than be caught up on the British problem, which still exists in the North, down south we have to fight the immediate threat of the EU. Because the EU is so woke, so globalist, so open borders, we have to diametrically oppose it. We have to be nativist, traditional and xenophobic. We have to be these things because we are being replaced. Wether it is the workforce replacement or the racial demographic replacement nature of this, the Irish man has a right to oppose it. Any thing the Irish man opposes should be supported by the long established tradition of republicanism. It is a cheap cop out to say you will not support racists when you know full well that these are merely people who are not versed in the language and talking points of an entrenched political organisation. This is the vernacular of the common man that you are opposing. When a common Irish man says he doesn’t want foreign bastards in his area, he means he doesn’t want to have to lower his wage expectations or limit his cultural expression for fear of offending these new people. It is also completely obvious that the lions share of these migrants are religious extremist males on a form of Islamic crusade. How can the Irish Republican Socialist movement stand over this?

They are not Irish

They are not Republican

They are not socialist

None of these people coming in, in these numbers ever will be. They will form their own parties and societies within our nation. If we do not fight this there will be a DUP for every denomination should their numbers grow. At least in the context of the above, whatever you think of us, we are Irish, and we are Republican. We want an Irish republic. The socialist stuff is an afterthought and even then the argument is there within socialism to resist this plantation. I personally have remained an advocate for positive movement in the direction of Republican involvement in the new nationalist cause. So far in the last five years, we have created out of thin air a hardened protest movement. We have successfully fought against the business and vulture class of Ireland as they have tried to plant our cities towns and villages. we have done this with no financial backing or control from Irish high society. We have remained largely decentralised, unruly and and almost devoid of any singular shared doctrine other than nationalism. Unlike in nearly all other EU countries, there is no established Right wing populist party here. By established I also mean Zionist backed and establishment approved. We have remained staunchly anti-Zionist and free from Israeli influence. Without your involvement, I fear the following scenario will happen.

We will be approached by the Zionists again, first through media with new unheard of personalities popping up with streamlined professional content. Then through financial backing of a gullible, weak minded politician who marries himself or herself to our cause.

We will not be able to continuously and successfully see off this influence. It is time that you admit we have been amicable and proficient thus far. Seize the opportunity at your feet. You can foment the right wing that suits your cause. You can condone the creation of a party that promotes Irish unity, Irish culture and becomes the vanguard of the anti-mass immigration movement. Rather than seeing a traditionalist movement as a threat to your ideological aims, it would compliment the over all aims of a 32 county republic. If you do not seize the opportunity now, like I mentioned above, there will be a Zionist, new Conservative party established in Ireland. An Irish Tory party which none of us want. No, now is the time for the Republican movement to look at us as a fraternal opportunity and not through an adversarial lens. What would that look like?

Malachy Steenson occupies the space between Republican socialism and the new Nationalist movement

There is one man who exists right now that is a seasoned Republican socialist but also has the full admiration and respect of the Irish nationalist working class. This man is Malachy Steenson. Without any more waste of time or energy, Malachy should be put forward by both yourselves and us as the leader of a party to take Nationalist politics forward down south. Malachy can be relied upon to guide young Irish men into a new era of Republicanism in the south that is not at odds with socialism but also does not compromise on the idea of the Irish people as a race who claim ownership of the island of Ireland. A claim that is as old as time itself. I understand that there are severe splits in the Republican movement. None of that concerns me or the people down south in the slightest. That is your own business. I also understand Malachy has exposure to those splits. I will say it straight. There is no better buachaill to create a stopgap for a Zionism/International Finance Capital right wing in Ireland than Steenson and there is no better vehicle to do this than a Steenson led populist, nationalist party that soaks up the anti-woke sentiment in a legitimate way while blooding in patriots to the Republican cause. Steenson may not be everybody’s cup of tea but he is the guy no matter your gripe. The parties on the right are in disarray but the movement is stronger than ever. It is time to put the right man forward to lead Irelands nationalists through the next five year political cycle and who will also compliment the 32 county movement. Through overlap between Republican socialists and nationalists we can create an all island network of people with a shared culture and heritage who want Ireland to be whole and sovereign again. Fail to do this and lose the south entirely to some British backed Zionist slush fund party while voices like mine are censored and drowned out. A right wing Republican Party is the smartest play. Let’s make it happen.
