Ultraleftism. Ridiculous claims made by Russian Marxists,German peaceniks,Irish Republicans and Indian doctors.

Those in Ireland who have traditionally taken succour from the movement for national self-determination and economic independence and who have an association with Sinn Fein would sell their souls for a pint of beer. That is how they are paid for their ultraleftist hashing about nothing in particular. Those 'brave souls and proud internationalists' are Irish Unity stalwarts. They are to be found in every nationalist public house and hostelry in Ireland holding up the rafters.

They have other confreres in various places whose public ruminations run through the establishment media like a thick rope choking the life out of the struggling semblances of democracy which appeared over forty years ago.

Let us examine their didactic formulations.

The bizarre nonsense talked by these Marxists in a divided and troubled world- was it ever any different we must ask ourselves- compares well with the even more bizarre rubbish spouted by German peaceniks and Irish Republicans that everyone is wrong apart from them but that all workers are equal in potential and ability.

We are all equal in the eyes of the law at preliminary level but,contrary to Marx's deterministic philosophising,we are not equal in labour productivity (see Capital Volume One). That contention is an old English fable. Again,puzzle not if there is Marx's Universal Equivalent in money or equality in the value of the labour power of each worker because there is rarely in the former instance and never in the latter instance. Disregard also the claims of the eventual alignment of international comparative rates of profitability and national relative rates of capital accumulation.

As for the Indian medical bookworms,have they read nothing written since 1948? 

An ingrained characteristic of Indian doctors' training is the unshakeable belief in Lysenko's socio-biogenetics. That is,that social factors can modify the human gene. Can they not simply accept that conscious feelings  pass fleetingly through  the human mind?

Anything else has the standing of a monstrous CPSU invention.

No universal biogenetic determinism rather emotional reflexes,thoughts and emotions are but ships in the night!

Take note,good gentlemen. In 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union endorsed Lysenko's "theory",a deterministic anachronism originally conjured up by Lamarck in Germany in the 1860's. Biogenetics is the hallmark of two countries taking the police route to the resolution of internal political stresses a in a framework of international tension.

Socio-biogenetics? The real source was Bastian in the 1850's. He is a touchstone for our own hole-and-corner reformers such as Bryce and Barrett.

....

On the social Darwinian thesis,international tensions and national disputes are never finally resolved by force. Those problems are resolved with singular purpose by everyone concerned with treaties and ballots,not bullets and the same goes for problems created by drugs,anti-social neighbours and those who 'want to keep on the right side' with us.

It is in Indian political pedagogy that we find Marxism in its truest form,the dictatorship of the proletariat. Indians endeavour to live in a state where noone has any rights,a police dictatorship. They bring this perverse characteristic with them wherever they go.

Theirs,the Indians that is,is what Marx called bellum omnium contra omnes,the chaos theory and it is couched in what a seven-year-old would call higgledy-piggledy writing or as an adult would call it,political nonsuch.

We say of imported Indian freaks of nature,"You're talking through your hat and people who agree with you such as Colm Gildernew and Sean Lynch are police stooges who are openly dealing in contraband tobacco. That has cost four members of the Mc Elroy-Elliott family their lives in the last two years. That is, if the local clerical screed and nationalist press is to be believed,which it is not since the clergy in association with families and nationalist headmen are 'disappearing' people into nursing homes."

......

What is an ultra-leftist or political extremist?

Someone who does not vote and openly advocates abstention in an election and leaving a trade union based on fee-paying membership. 

There is one qualification to the general rule to abstention from voting. Where a profound shift or democratic revolution is underway or people are slipping into a death necrosis, all bets are off and abstention is the only viable and sane choice.

"Extremist politicians try to ride a person to his death like a small farmer bringing his donkey to mart. The nationalists learned their tactics from leftists,not the other way around."

Vote in Unite the Union's election for General Secretary for Sharon Graham not a mouthpiece and cipher for those long past their sell-by date...

 Vote for a person,the only person who can keep our union together and stand up to employers,Sharon Graham,not a Cockney wide-boy. She is a tough negotiator and has said "Unite will not be a branch of the Labour Party".

Unity is strength! There is power in a union (like the marriage relationship of man and woman)not in a multi-millionaire lawyer and a windbag and decentraliser who is in an invidious relationship at one remove from liberals like Blair and privatisers of public utilities into bogus self-employment. Brown tried to do that with refuse collection, disposal and recycling.

Better together 😜

18.8.2021

It is clear if craftworker and semi-skilled and general worker and docker are to remain United under the Unite umbrella as One Big Voice for Labour with hand,mind and body we must not pursue what the great labour leaders like Connolly,Marx,Keir Hardie and Tillet called "sectional interests" or what Russians and Germans call "sectarian interests" located only in a time and place and devoid of any general interest.

Forward with Labour!

Internationalism

The key to reviving the labour movement lies not alone in the most advanced societies but rather also in the periphery of Africa and Asia.

The revival of trade unionism in Britain

 In terms of reunionising the building trade in England,the future lies in exposing bogus self-employment and blacklisting building trade gangsters, Irish agency employers and their London Irish Club friends and their colleçtive connections to the Police National Computer and the MI5 harem.

As a wayward, indecisive, dissolute law student, my opinion on Thatcher's labour proposals were sought by my tutor of labour law. I,in my proposals,had the good sense to turn the screws on beer-swilling miners, rabble-rousers and indolent people such as Billy Hull of the Loyalist Workers Council and sectarian bigots in tiny leftwing groups and sole traders not paying tax such as loyalists and Provos. I asked for receipts for goods and services purchased, making myself very unpopular in the process. My innovation?. I suggested that the Electoral Reform Society supervise union and Labour Party elections and private concerns pay for their own security during disputes with trade unions and communities.

However,it is clear that labour organisation is now too tightly regulated by the Department of Finance and Health sub-committee at Stormont.

The response to employer inflexibility and growing sectarian dissent and political unrest,not to mention environmental degradation and NHS waste,is to vote for labour candidates with a proven track record who are real fighters,not ciphers for police and army. Most political parties believe in a constant cycle of personal attrition and internecine conflict in Northern Ireland.

Does that explain my rather conservative, mainstream proposals,often rewarded by success but by neither money nor reputation nor acclaim particularly as regards my fateful ventures outside my native country to find employment.

The closed shop and secondary action? Burning issues of our times.

My approach in the final year(s) of my legal studies to questioning as to 'bright-spark' opinions on labour law reforms was that it was a case of 'all.or nothing' as regards  union recognition and  a closed shop (the US system). This brings undercover police and plainclothes soldiers into the unions since they monitor workplace representation with a view to isolating some people. The closed shop is an anachronism unless we want detectives in our soup.The American system is not for Britain.

The question of solidarity action is fraught with difficulties. This practice has the potential to lead to lawlessness and crime unless it is undertaken in-house in a big industrial combine,effective monopoly or highly-focussed  multinational whose legal status is that of a trust or benevolently-owned organisation or state business with no pretensions. By a state business I mean the NHS.

The focus of trade unions in the building trade,industry and trades or crafts ince 1952 in England should have been bogus self- employment,the isolation of anyone who was an industrious shop steward and the discounting of the employee's net income against the employer's tax liability and national insurance contributions.This is the great historical iniquity which the Shrewsbury pickets tried to put right. They couldn't find their way to their political target and were harassed by police.

But I digress,can not the trade union movement distance itself from those who have nothing of relevance to say such as Ken Livingstone and are past their best. Can we not endeavour to politically roll back the tide of bogus sell-offs, privatisations and fraudulent public housing sales. Unions should invest more money in the real well-being of workers particularly in the North of Ireland,by funding political representation.

While barristers and politicians in the 1980's talked a lot of nonsense about the obvious judicial eccentricities of one Lord Denning,it must be remembered that in the AUEW Case (1974/1978) he firmly established the doctrine of the culprit or culprits in RESTRAINT OF TRADE cases having to compensate their hapless victim(s) for loss of earnings. He unwittingly allowed victims of police,academic and medical blacklistting to claim compensation for loss of earnings. Only a mischief-maker such as David Hopley Q.C. or other half-schooled legal novice would claim otherwise.

How have the police denied employment to active trade unionists and choked the life-blood out of organised labour?

It is through the Police National Computer and police tracking the location of labour activists through the DHSS centralised social security records system.

The police and MI5 have throttled industry and political debate and consigned British industry and democracy to the scrapheap. The police thoroughly deserved their fate in Northern Ireland between 1971 and 2011.

Solidarity action

Flying pickets and secondary action?

 Definitely! The throttling of Dutch industry in 1948, US and Australian decay after 1968, the end of the aggiornamento in 1972, Britain's industrial decline after 1978, Germany's industrial decline after 1981,France's decline after 1992 and Ireland's real-time industrial decay after 2001 all point towards the unhappy conclusion that when there is intolerance to labour organisation and the democratic process from right-wing extremists such as the police and where there are legal restrictions and police blacklistting,a country very soon hits the rocks. In terms of looking to Communists and self-styled socialists for leadership,they are about as welcome in labour circles as a whore at a wedding. It is only the working people who produce the wealth of society that can rescue a society. They produce the wealth,not spoofers on the margins of the trade union movement or the police or the political spokesmen of big business.

Witchcraft.Mary Lou Mc Donald's noisy rhetoric and the end of Eoghan Harris's vain diatribes against the Irish Labour Party ..

 Congratulations,Ivana, begin the great work of socialist construction and the weeding out of bogus opposites from the Dublin Gardai and dealing with whingeing farmers and other louts who don't know which side their bread is buttered on..namely Jokin' Joe's side and you will make a great future Minister of Justice...

...Proof if proof were needed that Bullshit never beats brains as the lazy,witless,useless Cork Fine Gael brawler who I met on a campsite in Munich in 1981 couldn't realise.... likewise, Dr. Noel Browne and similar uncaring fools who watched The Patriot Game (and liked it) could not see...

As a good Belfast woman said about Pat Kenny and RTE current affairs ..."There's an awful lot of shite on the radio" before she moved back to Belfast from Dublin,well away from certifiable idiots like Pat Kenny, Richard Boyd Barrett and similar mouthpieces who are existing on public doles and reporting back to paedophiles such as Jack Dromey...

Why does every media broadcast North and South bring the ranting and raving of dangerous people and vulgar-minded harridans with designs on power. South of the Border consult Pat Dunne's Facebook page for insights into fascist elements in the South. He speaks as a public representative doing his best.

In the North of Ireland consult Councillor Donal O Cofaigh's Facebook page for the legitimate opposition to the mafia antics and loose-tongued gangsterism of  professional spoofers and their band of scrawny-necked henchmen and willing executioners.

Most Nationalist politicians are  BLACKLEGS who wouldn't work in a fit, superannuated corner-boys,reckless and dangerous drivers who are never tolerated by respectable people or those who work for a living or their families. Politicians of all Irish political parties are simply a front for a network of private businessmen such as Sean Quinn. Their 'dedicated activists ' are,in fact, cutthroats and paramilitary gangsters who extort money and intimidate witnesses. They ignore working people and the wrecks of men left behind by employers' murderous activities. Many major parties are a chimera,a purely media creation and a front for private interests such as building firms, property development companies and wealthy financiers.

Bourgeois socialism? Petite bourgeois socialism?

Not only pure poison but dangerous, unschooled nonsense.

Vote for an honest man or woman,not "a dunghill flower" who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and owes nothing to merit,a placeseeker and meme in the Dublin street scenes and an associate of the CIA/ADT's identikit Dowdall twins. The waterboarding twins, that is, of Saint Teresa's Gardens/Kildare/Cabra Road notoriety.

The only half-decent parties in the South are Sinn Fein outside Dublin, Labour and Fianna Fail. They endeavour to help and respond to emergencies. The only good Fine Gaeler is one who has been drowned in a boghole . No half-decent or half-right-in-the-head politician or political party would have anything to do with  drunken Dublin 4 types such as Mary Mc Donald. There are far more level-headed and fair-minded people in Finglas and Coolock who only feature in the media as "law-breakers" never the good,honest,decent, hard-working people who give left-wing spoofers such as Eaman Mc Cann a wide berth because they learned years ago,over thirty three in fact,that he was a dud who believed in keeping  "divisive" policies out of public debate by refusing to give a journalist's card to myself. A drunken,cocaine-fuelled loudmouth like his contemporaries in the music business.

Just say when an imposter comes to your door looking for votes,"Are you half the man you say you are,since I notice that you people seek my endorsement for your  activities in the past,not my vote or approval for your current activities which are increasingly bizarre and contradictory. You bear no resemblance in your political statements and policies to anything I associate your party with,namely killing people who you know nothing about and have never met for money."

As a useless German Social Democrat told me to wrap up my remarks to the foreman,Herr Richter,after I decked the mouthy Bavarian from Rosenheim,

Nationalism

Quit your moaning,Sinn Fein,unless as many of us suspect you are a partitionist party behind all your airy-fairy rhetoric about nothing in particular. Rhetoric is for former slaves and the down-at-heel, in America not here.

Get your act together with Adams's Alliance for Irish Unity which I referred to haughtily in 2002 in Workers' Republic (see glasnosteire. blogspot.com).

The key to solving our problems with British aggression and a neo-colonialist regime in the South is to make the US persuaders for Irish Unity.

I am deeply unhappy with nationalist rhetoric like many others and only a failure to grab the bull by the horns in the North.

Get on with it! A referendum on Irish Unity,right away,at the earliest opportunity. Let us have done with the British and expel 'the enemy within'. No more Dublin 4 rhetoric and guttersnipe speeches such as Adams and the Provos are well-known for....

The only thing any properly-reared Catholic or half-decent sort of broadcaster or voter voter wants to hear from Sinn Fein is,"We don't intend to take any further involvement in public life. Our organisation is considering disbandment and liquidation of our assets to pay our debts to the people we exploited and brutalised."

...

4.2.2024

The harsh yelling tones of this arrogant, irrelevant woman and her coterie of dried-up old crones once again features in news bulletins condemning people who want to retain our national character rather than bastardise it.

I say,"You are not only a drunk but are a vulgar-minded old harridan with it,Ms. O Reilly-Mc Donald".

"We have all heard enough of your overpowering and screeching diatribes. Be quiet,woman.We don't want to hear any more from you until the next election".

Not only do women monopolise Sinn Fein representation,they use marketing tricks learned from the US National Endowment for Democracy to get money,power and control over the productive and capable sex.

These old clothes horses are lost in games of bitching and catcalling.

Not only does a single woman have no power of independent action,she will in this country do everything in her power to stop anyone else helping himself or taking action to preserve life and limb.

I know. Listening to a female relative deterred me from taking the necessary action to save my sister's life from a pack of British Army and FBI/MI 5 wolves led by Patrick Mc Grory and Ms. Berniece Swift.

A politically dangerous and entirely selfish course is being plotted by some in Ireland...

The vultures are gathering over the endowments of the past Russian internationalists to Irish leftists. The relevance of socialism to any situation is that many political and industrial matters can not be amicably resolved. In situations of great suffering of the poor,the strike weapon and revolutionary violence must be brought into play. 

The Irish Leninists and their sympathisers who want to wrap up their tent-I am referring to socialists and revolutionary syndicalists- are in grave error if they hope to leave a lasting legacy of revolutionary change after their departure.

Post-Fall. Marx? Lenin?

The Western world should remember that by applying themselves to the study of revolution and social organisation, Marx and Lenin did a lot of good too. They led great political and economic change though some Jews,West Africans,Irish Catholics and English Catholics might find Marx's writings deeply offensive.

What would be the effects of Communist parties calling it a day? 

Notwithstanding childish blunders and iconoclasm ('otzovism' , God-building, Lenin, 1911-3) that outcome would be a bodyblow to the trade union movement.

Some people complain too much, like myself. Others insisted in the past that revolutionaries brush up their act. By taking that viewpoint,we were and are perhaps engaging in what may have been a short-sighted and dangerous folly. 

My bon mot for the imminent break-up of the Soviet Union was, "Soviet socialism must die so that World Communism can live". Material conditions lay at the root of the democratic revolution and are ever more relevant to contemporary society. By 1989,due to economic crisis Soviet socialism had arrived at its final destination. The political turnaround was grounded in a developmental change in attitudes to property rights. 

.....

Internationalism. National democracy. Lessons for contemporary left-wing parties

The CPSU and its clientele needed to be brought to their senses and brought to realise that national democracy and change comes from within a country,not a tawdry bookshop in socialist occupation in the West offering some basic "flu remedy" leading to social polarisation or relative industrial decline.

In my 'world play' of July-August 1988 (Der Spielplan ,July-August,Dublin) I was taken to have missed the whole point. However,no country bears out better the truths of scientific socialism when set against a rapidly expanding world market,those truths being that "It's money that matters," and that the world market forms property relations.

Socialist unity

Can collective socialist party names in Ireland not be reshaped to one comprehensive party name on the left such as Labour and the sectarian spirit be given over for socialist unity?

That can only occur after the departure of Irish Secret Service agents such as Mc Cartan and every party's retinue of fair weather friends and bon litterateurs. 

Party names and long antiquated titles should be abandoned,the tasks of social democracy and industrial equity renewed and the march of collective progress begin again in a spirit of tolerance, respect and the abandonment of peculiar dogmas.

Playing Devil's Advocate for the Soviet Union 

Some redeeming characteristics of Communists must be mentioned at the risk of encouraging their hangers-on to come at the unsuspecting with cut-throat razors in their hand.

Communists are foes of entrenched interests, the privileged and the rich. They aren't  afraid to "answer their betters back" ("Der Spielplan", July-August 1988). 

When they have strong-willed, well-educated, mentally agile leaders they can confound the forces of populism and confront social backwardness and raise the poor to great heights to mark anyone's card and allow working people to throw brickbats at the housewives' choice of the day. (Women were the main obstacle to change in the 1980's. Margaret Thatcher was their "paragon of virtue").

The differences on the left in Britain

To be an English Labour voter,you only need to understand what a "toff" or snob is. If you vote socialist,you  recognise the difference, the fundamental difference,between rich and poor. A communist or revolutionary socialist believes that the fundamental means by which the capitalist system emerged was the organised,as distinct from the random,use of violence and repression.

World movements

Unlike pedantic nuisances such as middle  class writers,a real revolutionary is prepared to do something about an unhappy social situation.

Enter the clowns

A false dichotomy has been created in Irish Communist circles between Irish Military Intelligence agents and MI5 gangsters,those hoodlums whose only interest is in liquidating the Communist Party of Ireland and embezzling its assets. I am referring to Mc Cartan and O Murchu.

The orders are coming from fascists in the PSNI and Gardai Central Detective Unit in Dublin Castle.

The ultimate 'experts' in creating this false dichotomy are the Federal Bureau of Investigation,a bunch of drug addicts taking their orders from Joe Biden and imperialists who want to extinguish the light of human freedom, scientific knowledge and democratic politics.
