Included with this post is a documentary from Al Jazeera about recent social protests in Morocco. The story reminded me of a visit I paid to that country, as a tourist, many years ago. It was in the city of Agadir where I chose to stay, and from there I travelled around the locality in […]
I am of the opinion that the lyrics of this song should be part of every school’s curriculum. The words are profound and true, unlike a lot of the shite that is pumped into the heads of the young across the globe. Lennon was a working class prophet.
Whilst some countries, and more specifically their governments, are investing huge sums of tax-payer’s money in developing more effective ways of killing people, the Cubans are developing new ways to combat illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. One state creates the MOAB, whilst another designs medicines and provides doctors for the good of the international community. One […]
In this video, we can see what happens when you try to reason with those who are unreasonable. When left-wing groups, be they in Colombia or Ireland or anywhere else for that matter, have attempted to move society forward by calling ceasefires and laying down their arms, they are eventually weakened and marginalized by the […]
Hats off to the person in the following cartoon who had to sing their way through this list of the nations of the world (with the exception of Israel which is a colonial state and NOT a nation). It does give us a blatant truth in that Capitalism has, and will, always fail. It operates […]
The content of the following report, from teleSur, is extremely worrying. The suggestion is that planned military exercises conducted ostensibly to counter drugs gangs in Amazonia, are really a pretext for the establishment of permanent US military bases in the region.

So the question is, are the writings of Marx relevant to our modern world?
Here we have a novel form of protest against a corrupt and immoral Brazilian government. The people have created a beer to highlight the political imposition that is US Establishment installed puppet, Temer. I’ll have two glasses of that please.
Yet another excellent article from teleSur, highlighting the injustice of the capitalist system.
Conditions in India are appalling for many of the citizens. Inequality is standard practice. Corruption and discrimination are endemic. Although the world’s second most populous nation, India’s government does much less to assist its people than their neighbour China, which has a larger population. It will take radical change to improve the living conditions for […]
President Maduro is surely justified in making whatever changes to the Venezuelan constitution are necessary in order to give greater control to the people, and provide greater protections for them. Many constitutions, and I include Ireland here, are antiquated and out of touch with modern societies. Whilst no one should throw the baby out with […]
The following article from the Latin American media centre, teleSur, is very informative regarding the recent right-wing violence in Venezuela, and the subsequent decision by the socialist government of Venezuela to leave the Organisation of American States (OAS). The OAS is controlled by the US, and favours right-wing governments of the Americas, at the expense […]
