If only we had 10 men like Fidel Castro in Ireland, we would be free from colonial rule in the morning.
Paying Lip Service to Decency
Paying Lip Service to Decency Superficial democracy, Specious freedoms, Packaged in materialism And wrapped in choking ribbons Of accumulating debt; Presented to a gullible populace Blinded by sinister concessions To the worst excesses Of the Human Condition. A.D.
Linkin Park – Hands Held High (Rock Ballad Of Working Class Revolution)
This is a fine rock ballad of revolution that speaks strongly of the inherent corruption that exists within the Capitalist-led society of the United States of America. The US can produce art such as this. It can create beautiful literature and myriad intellectuals that few can equal. Yet it can’t, and has rarely ever, been […]
Bodyrockers – I Like The Way
Even Rebels like to occasionally throw shapes…
Richard Thompson – Beeswing
The lyrics are poetry. The melody is art. The performance is gold.
Planxty – Only Our Rivers Run Free
This is a standard that is regularly heard in Irish pubs the length and breadth of the land, with good reason.
GAA in Moral State of Decline
Much commentary upon the GAA has, of late, focused upon the unfortunate approach of many players and supporters towards the more unsavoury incidents that occur during and after games.

Irish Republic? Where?
Recently, as I was listening to the news segment on Today FM – an Irish Free State radio station owned by a rampant Capitalist – I noted a report upon the proposal that all Irish citizens are to be given the right to vote in Irish Presidential elections. This franchise is to be extended to […]
Status Report – Anti-Capitalist Poem
This piece of verse from resident poet, A.D. is formed in the Extract Poetry style. In this method, the verse is shaped to seem as if it is an excerpt taken from a larger piece of writing. The ellipsis is often used at the beginning, middle or end. Status Report … and the meek will […]
The Free Market Without Food – Anti-Capitalist Poem
The Free Market Without Food The Capitalist’s plump paws pinched his purse tightly as he looked at me, forlorn. I’m well-fed but hollow, he said, But I can’t stop what I am.
