The IRSP Statement: My Take

I have previously written about the dissident republican movement being a sleeping giant in this fight against globalism, after all, nearly all of the fight against globalism was carried out by them through the latter half of the last century. Most of the the anti-establishment movement in Ireland was once driven by and led by these guys. Only in recent times with the NPC left being captured by corporate interests have we seen the counter culture shift to the right. Parties like The Irish Freedom Party have offered an anti-EU option at the polls with strong positions surrounding Free Speech, Re-introduction of Economic freedom and full retreat from the EU imperial system as a whole, something that any Irishman who paid attention to our history would advocate for. I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of these guys and they are pretty much libertarians and conservatives pushing together for Irish independence. Herman Kelly, their leader, advocates for Ireland to repeat Brexit here. To an Irish man, Brexit was merely one empire refusing to be swallowed by another but it is unquestionably one of the greatest feats of political secession in modern history. Secession from the federal EU, being in the common interest of any Irishman who despises the EU and opposes its migration policies, should provide the perspective needed to take a look at the latest IRSP statement with an open mind.

Most of the people who read my articles have a shared criticism of socialism and communism that lends itself to free market capitalist thought, however you are all also advocates against the international finance capital system which has placed all of us under the economic jackboot and stripped us of the same prosperity that generations before us enjoyed. Most of you are activists and campaigners who fight for the downtrodden and against the elites for years. The prevailing thought process in us as Irish people is to allow a man to profit from the back of his own labour, to own private property and accumulate and bequeath wealth. The IRSP advocate for a socialist Ireland that would challenge those ideas or at a minimum lean on them. Fundamentally I disagree with what their end game would be if they every came into power. I would gladly watch them tear down the vulture funds, the absentee landlords etc but I would not stand over the incursion on the individual. I presume you are pretty much with me on those points thus far so I will now crack open this can of worms now that I have set the tone.

The IRSP have been for a long time, one of a handful of socialist groups in Ireland that resisted Globalist incursion. The woke spring that occurred in 2015 seemed to carry away with it, generic socialists and mainstream republicans like Provisional Sinn Fein. At some point around that time the EU draft pickers acquired their services in order to push the Sustainable Development Policies of the UN. This is pushed through the EU voting block system where all of the parties here in Ireland are merely underlings of these huge undemocratic collective groups. Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein are part of the EPP, ALDE and The Left respectively. These dictate National policy inline with EU demands in Ireland including the demands for mass migration. In return for this betrayal of our sovereignty these TD’s are offered MEP roles within the EU to the tune of upwards of €9000 euros a month. The IRSP have refused to be courted by this EU system and therefore have remained entirely independent from its influence. During the the last year and a half of intense resistance to the plantation by mainly traditional nationalists, the voter-base of left wing parties have started to attend our rallies and protests. The IRSP have noticed this and have released indications from time to time that they are against open borders, the volume of people coming in and also that they oppose wealthy landlords and hoteliers being payed far too generously for providing this accommodation. The nature of the their own politics too has had an effect on them as they are cut from the same cloth as James Connolly, a man who strongly advocated against the mass importation of labour. James Connolly was absolutely an ally of the international proletariat but he believed that people should handle their own business, inside the confines of their own nation. He was conscious of the replacement of the Irish men with Brit-Huns so it would be completely acceptable to state that he would be against our replacement in general. It seems that a raging debate has been ongoing in the North around such things and the IRSP have finally announced their position. Also they have followed up with an event announced for the Falls Road, Belfast which seems to be described as a debate/discussion around the issue of immigration. We must first read the statement to see where it puts the IRSP on the issue:

The Statement

Now, if you are some jumped up reactionary fool, barking through the garden gate anything that passes, you will be up in arms at some of the ideas contained within this statement. Some of the sentiments expressed will not land well on your political taste buds, or may hurt your feelings. Get over it and read between the lines. There a few key points I want to address that matter far more than the rest. To start, the opening page of the document states that it is an “obvious demand” that working class should decide matters of immigration in their own interests. I have to say that I was angry reading this at first because I felt that it was in no way, any different than what I have been saying for years. I felt that it was my own stance with a lick of red paint. An effort to maintain political relevancy you could say, but the rest of document placed this statement into context and I agree with it in a general sense, but not without critique. The position that the working class should decide on matters of immigration is correct as the immigrants coming here are broke and low skilled, therefore the Irish working class will be the ones competing against them for a livelihood, services and for a roof over our heads. I agree however I am disappointed at how long it has taken to get to this.

This is something that the IRSP need to get to grips with and quickly, the working class waited years for them and others like them to stand up and be counted on this issue. We stood up ourselves out of necessity. We did so and got called racists, Nazis and scum. We have watched town after town get swamped by the dirt of the world, swarms of degenerates straight from the prison systems of the third world and into our neighbourhoods under the cover of darkness. The rapes started happening and we were told to shut up. The murder of Aisling Murphy happened and the media covered up the full story, the details only emerging after the culprit unexpectedly pleaded not guilty in court. Two Gay men were murdered and beheaded in Sligo and then the children were stabbed. After months of our warnings, of close calls and narrow escapes occurred, finally it happened. This was the proof needed to show that no matter how hard you wave a Palestinian flag, Islam will still be hostile towards our people and will carry out terrorist attacks against our children. This situation is now no longer a matter of speculative political theory. We are not at the planning stage here, we are at a stage of mass civil unrest. We have entire towns abandoning their comfort and ignorance to stand watch outside these buildings. We are no longer afraid.

This issue of public opinion is addressed in the statement. The statement correctly identifies “fake opposition” calling everybody racists and Nazi’s in order to protect the capitalist nest egg policy. This is a major development as we now have hardened republicans calling out the Paul Murphy’s of the world for what they are, frauds. This has to be welcomed and I for one appreciate that stance. They do however take the shine off it by going on to say that there are Fascists and racists who are solely blaming foreigners for the problem, and that these people never call out or oppose the vulture funds or the landlords. I presume they are talking about the “IrelandisFull” protestors so I will treat that remark as if it was aimed at us and respond accordingly. We have been the ONLY people targeting the landlords and vultures, including Mel Sutcliffe who has family connections to republicanism that are etched in stone. Sutcliffe has had the issue of his profiteering by plantation brought to his door on multiple occasions as part of a mass campaign, as too have many other slumlords and money men. You see the “far right” in Ireland is made up of people who subscribe to Irish Nationalism, which traditionally is republican and replete with socialist thought sure, but also too there is a strong tradition of conservatism and libertarianism which can not be taken away or diminished. It is here that I will remind the reader that it was the combination of all these things that made this nation, not one of them above the other. They all put Ireland first.

A key issue that this statement highlights is that there are people in this country who regard any form of dissent outside of pure socialist theory as fascism. This stance must change and change fast as Ireland does not have the time or the patience to wait for complicated or convoluted political theory to suddenly become honest, unravel itself and save the day. The vast majority of us do not subscribe to any of these theories but rather a general sense of right and wrong and we use the the ideas of our patriot dead to drive us. Independence, sovereignty and constitutional republicanism. It is also true that a large portion of us come from a place of institutionalised ignorance. We have been separated from our past and pride in ourselves through mass formation psychosis, designed to prevent us from desiring national freedom. We are told now that we are privileged because we are white. What kind of socialism is that? It isn’t, it is Darwinist imperialism. Any move towards patriotic thought, left or right, is deemed to be fascism. Wanting to leave the EU is fascism. Wanting the demographics of your country to remain predominantly Irish is fascism. Writing “Irish Lives Matter” on a wall in defense of the 13,000 homeless natives, our women and our children is fascism. Do you see now why people don’t even flinch when these terms are used to describe them? and rightfully so. If that is fascism, guilty as charged, do you understand? do you see the danger in that? Do you see how actual Fascism could sprout?

The statement also attempts to deal with the issue of free will but falls just short of perfection. The IRSP state that the free movement of people involves the free will of the people, and that factors such as war and poverty take away this free will as they are forcibly displaced. They accurately identify the drivers of this displacement, the capitalists, are also the ones profiting from this mass movement of people and that it is wrong for this class of society to wield this power. I wholeheartedly agree but what they fail to so say is that the mass movement of people threatens our way of life, our culture, our beliefs and traditions. Furthermore, the same group of people, the capitalists, also contain within its ranks a subset of bastards called Eugenicists. These are people who believe they can rid society of its social ills through genetics and selective breeding. This plantation that we are being subjected to amounts to a global selective breeding program, stripping the free will of the natives of any country to maintain their tribal integrity should they so wish. We know this to be true as it is the working class areas being planted. I, nor anyone else that I am aware of in the “far right”, subscribes to a hierarchy of races, therefore the shouts of racism when we address this aspect of migration are misplaced. On top of this, the value of an Irish persons life has been diminished severely on this island. Foreign men, fleeing war, are gaining access to accommodation within hours of arrival while the Irish languish on housing lists for years, destroying them mentally as their hatred for their government and these invaders builds. What kind of man flees his own nation only to displace another man in his? there are 4000 Irish children homeless. It is insufferable, and this statement is a positive step towards solving this.

In general the statement is a general reaffirming of age old socialist positions however the IRSP does make concessions about the nature of how this plantation is being handled. They repeatedly address the “scale” and the “numbers” coming in. They correctly address the effects this has on us socially, identifying resources as an issue. This is a country mile away from the rest of the left when it comes to honesty and common sense. This particular addition to the statement is why I am supportive of it more so than the rest. The moment you address scale and resources ( supply and demand ) you are sucking diesel and palatable to the masses. This modern culture war we have imported from the US seems to vanish, at least for me it does, when you fire the advanced notions in the bin and get straight to problem solving. This statement is riddled with points of contention, but it is clear this is just as a reminder of who these people are and what they stand for. Pushing all of that to the side you uncover a huge line in the sand from republicans who if I am being honest, have a cardinal responsibility to defend this country, not just from capitalist but from invader. It now finally looks like this responsibility has been accepted and actioned on and to be honest, I fully support it.

Following this statement, the IRSP have announced a public meeting in the Costello House, Falls Road Belfast, Friday 8th March 2024. Attend if you can.
