"Davis was the first public man in modern Ireland to realise that the Nation must be rebuilt upon the Gael. Neither Grattan nor Wolfe Tone... realised as Davis did that while it is impossible to undo the Plantations, it is essential to undo the Conquest."

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say they'll blame racism.

Bingo. Here it is:

>In 2014, the interim report on the Child Law Reporting Project indicated that African families are 20 times more likely to end up in the childcare courts.

>This project seeks to explore African culture in parenting and child-raising, which too often is misunderstood. The objective of this high-level roundtable discussion is to raise awareness about cultural differences in child upbringing and promote positive aspects of the African culture among service providers, frontline services and decision makers.

If only Irish people were more sensitive to African cultural differences...

Climate Action is convenient when it dovetails with the long-term systemic goals of Mercantile Ireland, e.g. the breaking of rural independence, the smashing of ethnic cohesion, the consolidation of wealth, property, industry and power in the hands of giant multinationals. It's less convenient when it means confronting big tech, foreign direct investment, corporate oligarchy and the very nature of modern, smart-device integrated humanity.

It was not a "lack of diversity" that created sectarian division in the north but the very opposite. It was a project of Crown sanctioned social-engineering with the purpose of destroying Gaelic Ulster, much the same as we see today across Ireland. What they call "Diversity" is simply a sectarian war on native homelands. The end result as always will be centuries of entrenched conflict.

"It is hard to believe that any Socialist really thinks that the immigration question is serious enough to justify a Socialist in doing the dirty work of the capitalist class"

- James Connolly

#immigration #socialism

The above quote is in reference to Daniel De Leon of the SLP, who had put all his resources and manpower to work undermining the election campaign of another Socialist candidate, Morris Hillquit of the SPA. Hillquit was targeted because he was openly and repeatedly opposed to immigration on the grounds "that workingmen of backwards races (Chinese, Negroes, etc.) are often imported by capitalists in order to keep down the native workingmen by means of cheap labor".

'In a letter written to Matheson November 8, 1908, Connolly at some length criticized De Leon's activities in the current election campaign...

...he answered Matheson's questions about Hillquit's candidacy for the Socialist Party: "You ask me about the probable effect of Dan's campaign upon Hillquit...Dan's whole campaign was directed at Hillquit. I am informed that he scarcely ever referred to the capitalist candidate."

The SLP vote fell off in the 1908 election. "How could it be otherwise when the very few men they did have were withdrawn from the work of attacking capitalism to work on knifing Hillquit. Let Hillquit be what he may, and I do not know him at all, he was at least the representative of Socialism fighting capitalism."

...Connolly, who had suffered unfair political blows at the hands of De Leon, now was moved to deal one of his own: "The belief is slowly forming in my mind that Dan has fooled me all along and that he really is purposely doing the work of the capitalist class".'

(James Connolly and the United States: The Road to the 1916 Irish Rebellion, pg. 102-103)

This is not to suggest that Connolly was a racist or that he held any animosity to immigrants on a personal level. However, it does highlight that even while in America, where much of the labour force was made up of immigrants who Connolly fought to help, he understood that the greater cause of Socialism/Anti-Capitalism was more important than denying that in immediate practical terms immigration harms the native working class, as Hillquit pointed out. His view was the priority should have been with supporting an anti-immigration socialist rather than fighting against him, essentially dying on the hill of solidarity with the international proletariat before admitting distinction or accepting division.

They're currently using a Citizens' Assembly in an attempt to roll out the introduction of a directly-elected mayor for Dublin.

This article tells you why that should concern you.👇🏻
