Open Border fanatics are now saying migrant scab labour is bad
"Who is to blame? What determines the rate of wages? The competition among workers for employment... and owing to this fact the Irish employer is able to take advantage of the helplessness of his poorer fellow-countrymen and compel them to work for less...

In all private employment in Ireland the same state of matters prevails... the employing class in Ireland... take advantage of the crowded state of the labour market and use it to depress the wages of their workers..."


- James Connolly, Patriotism and Labour (1897)
"Obedient mercenaries of capital", the term Karl Marx used to describe immigrant scab labourers who willingly took positions in another country, at the request of capitalist employers, in order to undermine the wages and conditions of that country's native workers.

Despite Marx's overall goal being the eradication of nations and borders, even he understood that while living under capitalism there are certain realities that cannot be ignored or theorized away. The issues of the supply/demand of labour and immigration were, and still are, problems that working class people must contend with.

Contrary to what today's Left advocate (open borders even though it harms the workers), Marx believed it was "a point of honour" that foreign workers must refuse to take jobs in other countries, "to defend the common interests of their class and will not become obedient mercenaries of capital in its struggle against labour."

The Primary School Teachers being pumped into Ireland are cause for concern, probably best home-schooling or finding a non-pozzed school

"The stronger I am in my affection for national tradition, literature, language, and sympathies, the more firmly rooted I am in my opposition to that capitalist class which in its soulless lust for power and gold would bray the nations as in a mortar."

Erin's Hope, James Connolly. 1897

No matter what may be the moral character of the parent, let us at least save the helpless children of our race from physical and mental degeneracy, and save our teachers from the impossible task of forcing education upon a child whose brain is enfeebled by the starvation of its body.

Going to type up a few pieces on socialism in an Irish context, which today is completely misunderstood by both those on the Left (who are Maoist Marxist-Leninists) and those on the Right (not all but some have a knee jerk reaction with the mere mention of the word socialism, probably in part due to Americanizing influence).

Recommended reading would be James Connolly's Labour in Irish History + Reconquest of Ireland. (found here)

If not interested, ignore next couple of type ups.
