A doctor and solicitor and barrister is paid as is a teacher and professor. You do not get a book or newspaper for free. So if you want the opinion of a well-travelled and worldly wise man,Mr Zuckerberg, don't come to me to leverage your multi-billion business syndicate. Your business is based on the expropriation of educated thinkers. If you don't pay,one and all,you don't get. The party's over.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What we can learn from Stalin. Stalinism?
We can copy the examples of labour camps, preventive detention and long sentences for social and political parasites,of those who,after a fair and equal airing of their views,are not prepared to fall into line with everyone else. That is those who resist HUMAN PROGRESS and national defence needs,in keeping with the demands of the time. We count the typical Orange Order type and the big farmer and the Sinn Fein small businessman and the urban criminal as those requiring re-education.
Let us bear in mind other anti-social elements of foreign provenance such as the philistine printmaker and the Indian psychiatrists and doctors of German and Protestant extraction,those hocus-pocus merchants of doom. ( I have had the misfortune to meet more than my fair share of those wreckers).

Russia in its time,Lenin's doppelganger,a spy?

Viel ubertragen! Stalin's repression, Russia in its time,2
Reading the original pamphlets of Stalinism reveals what Bruno Ricci called 'bureaucratic collectivism' (La bureaucratisation du monde,1935,Paris).
In his explications,Stalin talked little about The Great Terror.
Clearly he saw the laws of science as fixed and immutable and political economy as a science. In his view while the laws of Marxist political economy were immutable, he regarded the Soviet Union as, essentially, law-governed.
The contemporary critic who Ricci admired was Trotsky,the minority movement leader. Trotsky wrote in The Revolution Betrayed in 1936 of the Soviet Union being "a degenerated workers' state" . Trotsky believed that the Soviet Union was in need,not of a social revolution but a political revolution.

The Irish republican critics of the Soviet Union?
Republican ex-prisoners and those being detained for whatever reason,are very wide of the mark as regards many vital issues relating to the 1930's. They see society only through the distorting prism of other ex-prisoners and those around them. Ex-prisoners attract too many spies,paid informants and false witnesses to get even the basics of normative relations in the former socialist societies right. They have to rely on untrustworthy advisers who are in a invidious situation with the British government.

A 'Fifth Column'. Fifth columnists
What is meant by a fifth columnist is perhaps lost on modern viewers of history peering through the distorting prism of Western historiography.
If as Engels says,there is the economic struggle,the political struggle,the ideological struggle,we can add the Bolshevik innovation,the insurrectionary struggle and Gorbachev's innovation,the moral struggle.
We can say that the capitalist also uses these weapons, accusations of moral insanity having long been directed at Moscow by his Irish coat-tails such as the female politician and the pious hypocrite.
It may seem strange to many students of Directory France and 1930's Russia and 1980's Ireland,but revolutionists such as myself had convinced ourselves that we held the moral high ground.
Nothing of the sort,we were slaves to nationalist and social yearnings and naive idealism. The IRA and head-scratchers were victims of moral myopia who were prey to those out to profit from our misery.

Russian Communism and German Fascism
No matter what way you approach Russia in the period 1922-48 and Germany in 1929-45,both dominant ideologies were outgrowths of death-cults. One was characterised in Dostoyevsky's The Devils and the Hitlerite other is still manifested in the activities of a Sicilian death-cult in the Mafia. The former's manifestations are the IRA in all its guides and carter's are in Irish Army officers,all members of Fine Gael.
The people who vote Sinn Fein or Fine Gael (or for similar parties in any country) are people who want to have someone killed by armed gangs and soldiers.
....in,Russia they are those who vote Communist or Our Home........you'll only learn that from a French Communist or Eco-socialist.... the French socialists are a completely different kettle of fish to any mainstream socialist party and represent the real cutting edge of 'new thinking' these days even if many of their followers are lukewarm about this New Wave of moral and social idealism (and the casual idolatry of the Welfare State).

Open prison camps for groups being subsidised by the Departments of Communities and Health in the North and similar government departments in the South. Those groups (and amateur drama societies) were formerly subsidised by European Social Fund monies "to keep rival factions apart".

The Catholic Church is involved in the reactionary occult too,deeply involved.
Be under no illusion about that, church-goers!
Is the money you give those people and church organisations being used for intimidation?
Think!
Time to reduce government social spending on the street cavalcade of police nuisances and other tramps which propels both revolutionist and inflames passive observers to the carnival of reaction.
The ultimate solution?
Give the spoils of imperialist banditry -it is being used to fund intimidation on our streets- to the countries being held to ransom by mass murderers in the West

The contemporary explanation of Stalinism was that it was the "dictatorship of the proletariat".
We have to look not just to Soviet politics but elsewhere for the origins of that bunker mentality. Russia was faced by its enemies to its west and south-west. That fact explained its siege mentality in the 1930's.
It was even in Britain (Seifert,2022) the case that war preparations were underway by 1937.
Russia in the period of the Great Purges went through the annihilation of all protest movements,a grim rerun of its old history under the Tsar from the assassination of Alexander 2.
The Soviet Union under Stalin was losing its old revolutionary cheerfulness (Osip Mandelstam,The Kremlin Mountaineer, 1937).
Stalin in his vast domain being someone who had never completed his secondary education and being without a law degree, had to rely on a vicious brute such as the Prosecutor-General,Vyshinsky,Yezhov and Zhdanov to enforce his totalitarian norms. The result was police terror and military lawlessness. Stalin lashed blindly around in all directions until all dissent was cowed into silence.
His reign of terror was what Lenin said in The Immediate Tasks of the Soviet Government in April 1919 was "the dictatorship of one man" or "one man management". That was something Lenin approved of because he aspired to that dictatorship himself.

Stalin's "mercy for the captive"
I the release of Trotsky from his bond to Russian Communism to go into exile in 1928 and granting of the suffrage to the 'former dispossessed classes' in the new Russian Constitution of 1935,we see a double occlusion,a 'double bluff',worthy of a political mathematician.
That was the forerunner to the main menu,the 'Moscow trials' of 1936-7. The trials required the enlistment of a former Menshevik to chair the tribunals and prosecute the accused.
Those manoeuvres represented together nothing other than the return to 'a measure of stability' so beloved of reform socialists and reactionary jurists everywhere.
In my view it is correct to see in Stalin a brute and a Master Deceiver operating under the influence of demonic powers and empowered by dictatorial forces. CIA agents in our country such as Swift and Kowalski -Sharkey represent a similar demoniac influence in or country both West of the Bann (Kowalski) and East of the Bann (Swift-Martin).

The Bolshevik terrors of 1921-2,1928-32 and 1936-7 cost many thousands of lives but those at the top of the political structure in the socialist superstate knew very little of the workings of the echelon of secret police agencies beneath their thrones. Like all rulers and politicians they were being hoodwinked though some results of light shone through the Mask of Zorro (see "Dizzy with Success",Stalin,1937).
For evidence of the same apparatus of terror operating in our own jurisdiction look to the activities of the 14 Military Intelligence Company of Lisburn Army Barracks.
Furthermore,on this theme of fascist reaction....
In Hitler's Germany,the runaway juggernaut of repression was the cause of the death of millions in Europe. Yet again,those at the top with the exception of Himmler,Goebbels and Eichmann knew very little about many facets of the Nazi Gotterdammerung.
.....
All societies which have experienced comparative economic decline contain the seeds of authoritarianism in the ignorant, cack-handed personages of Donald Trump and Mike Mc Connell.
If the US's descent into chaos spawns tyranny, those dictators cannot be confronted in a nuclear-armed world.
Rather,the Good Fight must be fought by both people of Reason and people of Faith.
US decay must not be allowed to drag that once-prosperous and even-handed society into a caricature of dictatorship. Honest people must speak up against the drift to the Right.The courts must put those who are set on overthrowing democracy behind bars.

Trade union government
Fanciful Bolshevik notions about worker management ignore one important fact. A worker with his back to the wall only confounds his leader with his innocent guile and terrorises even members of his immediate circle. We say,he will denounce his manager to anybody.
Why?
Because a worker's interest is in doing as little as possible and even killing his overseer.( Read the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament).
Lenin,the role model for Stalin,suffocated all opposition and called for a relentless war against bureaucrats. He wanted a Taylor system of time-and-motion labour power management.
We say of Stalinists and right-wing economic reformers both that they are bullies who will stop at nothing to inflict harm and injury on others. They are no better than the mad leaders of Britain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Learners in politics,keep to the centre ground be it liberal humanist or social democratic or centrist and,repeat after me,"Banish misfortune!"

72 000 prisoners,our times
We look to that noble son of Palestine for answers to the drugs problem and drugs gangs,the President of El Salvador.
There the government has regained control of civil society by locking up members of drugs gangs on suspicion of gang membership and the annual toll of 3 000-4 000 drugs-related murders have been brought to a dramatic end.
Our society as with all modern societies faces an elemental problem with drugs which can only be solved by political authority being brought to bear on those who take life so easily and bring ruin everywhere.
In El Salvador,the FMLN has passed into history. All national liberation movements must and Sinn Fein must too.
Civility and equality have returned and a synthesis of authority and equality has been achieved and the main threat to life and society, the members of drugs gangs,imprisoned.
The President of El Salvador enjoys huge popularity.
Let us LEARN.

That's right, Ms. Hargey,rush in head first. Gambling legislation
The issue in question,Sunday gambling?
The law to legalise Sunday gambling will leave many gambling addicts with empty plates and empty bellies and pirouette the drugs problem out of control. Every sentient person knows that some chronic gamblers sell drugs to fund their addiction and cover their losses.
Is anyone in our Northern Minister of Communities party,Sinn Fein,in control or what has become of answerability to the public and moral responsibility in the Northern Assembly? Likewise,why does a syncretic consensus dictate that grocery stores can sell alcohol and public houses open on Good Friday?
I,the author, have put this article on a blog directed at working people and trade unionists,but why?
As every working class and marginalised person knows,drugs are a burning issue of our time as is gambling.
As a former republican militant who faced death many times and,apart from Sean L. never once heard the word " Thanks", I must say that after forty years old friends must part,this time for the last time.

The big picture? Gambling and drugs?
There is irrefutable evidence in America that drugs-dealing and gambling are inextricably linked and that the Italian mafia are the main culprit. Both they and the Mexican police and Army operate drug distribution in restaurant chains throughout the Western world.
Some of the big wholesalers and main funders are giving money to politicians and churchmen to get them out of trouble with the courts and honest policemen.
Finance?
Some banks in smaller countries are profitting from the trade in human misery as are the Dutch, Chinese,Belgians, Danske Bank, Afghans,Iranians,Moroccans, Japanese and Bengalis....

The republican penny-pinchers?
How can shysters harp on about flagrant misuse of public funds when the wind blowing through the bushes to an ever growing tempo not whisper,"Something is amiss in the state of Denmark".
Death and taxes are related to the same phenomenon.
What is the best way to combat the drugs mafia?
The international agreement on corporate taxation which France and America initiated. This is finally the agreement whose necessity I pointed to in 2009 in written proposals submitted to Sean Lynch in his office. Corporate taxation forces the small players out of the market and compresses wrongdoers into syndicates.

Nationalism? The Stormont Assembly?
One thing you can be sure of is that there is no good in a nationalist no matter who he is. The people who vote for those corrupt and morally reprehensible people never amount to very much.
When you see the bestial murderers who are their American admirers, people gan fuil gan fiu ('people without political leanings and merit or value of any significance'), you realise that nationalist politicians are more dangerous than just political nuisance.
Social democracy replaces shambolic alliances of opposites crafted by British military intelligence and the American government.
Nationalism is one sign of universal mental distress in a country or state.That is why its camp followers have no intelligent adherents and must crawl through the streets looking for information and take comfort in the bitter retort or sarcastic and highly derogatory remark.

Hatred of democracy and elections on the part of the police...the problem elucidated in this post, that being a society with ineffectual governance in Northern Ireland...
Recent experience of our unbalanced political society in the North of Ireland shows that it is only women who are in any way animated by politics.
Vote for at least some of these ungrateful fools but never a woman. If you do,the police will hand republicans, nationalists and democrats over to the custody of doctors. The police know instinctively that they must humiliate and degrade every sentient Catholic and sensible graduate. Lawyers and Northern politicians never interfere with what Labour and Tories call national security and the agenda for Sinn Fein is set by the British Government. Tony Blair did not accept a single section of the UN Declaration on Human Rights. That resulted in the mess created by politicians for judges and legal professionals to unravel.
Biblical hagiography? A solution to the problems of governance and providential assistance?
Pope Francis's favourite Saint is Mary,Untier of Knots,and I think that in ten years time,it will be time for the untying of knots in our bent and twisted ('cam is casta') dead-end GFA society.

At this Christmas time it does well to remember that money gets you things in shops. Most gamblers have no respect for either money or man because they are crypto-Marxists or semi-criminals.
Because all chronic gamblers are at heart escapists and chronic liars,it is almost impossible to get them to face up to their problems and the same goes for alcoholics or any other sort of addict.
Getting treatment for a gambling addiction is almost impossible. Unlike other addictions, gambling is a secret yearning which conceals serious problems of personal adjustment and lack of charitable purpose and belief in anything of a causative and moral nature.
Therefore we say of a drunken woman such as Deirdre Hargey or Caoimhe Archibald,the devil has you by the tail.
The devil?
Yes,the mafia, super exploiters such as Bet365 and the Graham-Eastwood-Jackson syndicate of Jews and Catholics in Belfast and Dublin who use the profits of vice and iniquity to import guns and drugs.
Was not Jesus betrayed by a nationalist to a drunken Roman soldiery who 'cast lots for his cloak' after "hanging him on a cross to die"?
Why, gambling and Sinn Fein?
Because at heart like all nationalists,they are only Johnny-come-latelys and good-time girls out to enrich themselves.
.....
We say to Sinn Fein belles esprites such as Deirdre Harvey,Michelle Gildernew,Michelle O Neill,Bairbre de Bruin,Berniece Swift, Catriona Ruane and Mary Mc Donald and your retinue of male slaves and paramours, "You don't have a sensible idea in your head no more than Margaret Thatcher or Mo Mowlam. Go away and hang yourself."

Ultraleftism. The "scientific socialists"...their Irish counterparts connection to thugs and criminals
With regards to the main protagonists in the advance from ape to man in Western societies,two prominent names stand out. Those names are Marx and Lenin. Also featuring prominently is Marx's literary executor, Friedrich Engels.
There are many leading facts to be discovered about Marx and Engels which iconoclasts reject.
Marx and Engels hijacked the English labour movement in the 1860's. They were left behind by the Germans at the 1875 Unity Conference and Engels rejected the demands which have become the basic tenets of modern socialism in the discussions on the Erfurt Programme of the German Social Democratic Party in 1891.
In the 1840's Marx and Engels hoisted themselves up on the back of the Communist League and created what became a great schism by forcing out the Christians such as Weitling. Weitling's emigration to the US gave rise to a constant cycle of packed meetings, conspiracies, showboating,rigged ballots,political grandstanding,verbal abuse and rhetorical handstands in trade union circles,all the trademarks of their ultraleft sects not political parties of the working class.
.....
Ireland,today
Modern "scientific" socialists talk from ignorance, not knowledge of the economic, political, literary and moral life. These self-styled Communists are hostile to the real labour movement and its working class leaders,adrift on a sea of old ideological garbage.
.....
Britain,today
Trade unionists are usually middle-of-the-road in politics. While bolshy at times,they can be incentivised with higher wages to be more flexible and give way to employers demands for higher productivity.
Ireland,today
The "scientific socialists" attempt to hoist themselves up onto the back of workers and claim the credit for the actions of others. Each and every one of them is at least a backslider and a curmudgeon,the road to no town. The Pbp group are a case in point. Inspired by old books that should be thrown out, this group is moving into the place allotted to it in a slabbering contest in the South.
The rival groups. Populists
In the North Sinn Fein's vote fell from 227 000 in the Assembly elections to 175 000 in the last local elections. Their core vote has been declining since its highpoint in the 2010's.
PBP,Sinn Fein and the people who inspire them such as the Workers Party are the mortal foes of any democratic socialist government. (The opportunists and the populists never give the poor and working man his say in public affairs. They say that rival parties exist by and thrive on media spin. Sinn Fein are often accused of intimidation).
Only a minority of the traditional Irish party of opposition,the republicans, endeavour to help the thinking public with any success. Most of them resort to mob violence when their poverty of ideas is publicised.
.....
Why the marginalisation of ultraleftists?
It is their own doing. The democrats present themselves to the electorate regularly. Those who hope for a class-based revolution go by the name of modern-day Communists. They do not.
The active Communists number 11 throughout the island of Ireland. Barry Murray, Eugene Mc Cartan and Tommy Mc Kearney are irrelevant. In their perorations, they are blowing soap bubbles out of their backsides. In Ireland these Stalinists (or Communists) have always been irrelevant apart from to trade union officials.
The eccentricities of the Communists everywhere do not matter to anyone who is possessed of even a modicum of common decency. They go around trying to hook young people and send the disgruntled affiliate into the arms of the jailer when he refuses to supply them with information that they intend to sell to the Gardai.
.....
To bigger questions
What can be rescued from the body of Marxist pedagogy on capitalism?
Marx's studies brilliantly characterised the dawn of the industrial movement.
In his own lifetime, Marx's influence was dimmed by German Social Democrats and English trade unionists. On the anarchist spectrum,his legacy was largely obscured by Bakunin and Kropotkin.
....
Marxism in the rearview mirror? Democratic socialism vs. Marx's political invention? The dictatorship of the proletariat?
History has shown that after much political debate and discussion,a law-governed state is not compatible with the dictatorship of the working class.

The big picture? Moscow literature?
Until the advocates of Marxism and sellers of Marxist literature in Ireland make a fulsome apology to those who they have insulted, threatened and had arrested- I am referring to Colm Bryce,Kevin Weinberg and Dickie Cusick,not forgetting Eugene Mc Cartan and the little Miss Red Riding Hoods of various parties and none-the real socialists,the democratic socialists,cannot mend their fences with these representatives of a past age.
...
Hidden agenda. After the Deluge,1991
In all societies the tiny groups of rebels and revolutionary socialists are front-groups for diplomatic and economic espionage and technical theft. The PBP and CPI micro-groups are front groups for foreign predators such as British Military Intelligence and Chinese interests. These tiny organisations should be put under the strictest scrutiny since they trade information to their foreign sponsors for payment in drugs and guns. The latter they use to fund their activities,a pattern established by socialist republicans.
PBP/MI 6
If people who have entered this country under false pretences such as Kostick- in his case,to conduct financial and technical espionage- do not go back to where they came from,they must be interned. The greatest proportion of these agents of Britain come from the North of England and the Indian subcontinent.

The real working class movement
When we hear Communists and their fellow travellers such as PBP and listen to their collective criticisms of the real working class movement,we say,"Now we see you in your true colours,neither democrats nor socialists, but semi-anarchist and pro-imperialist elements intent on sowing the seeds of economic ruin. You are harbingers of a change which will never come not least because you in your tiny groups styling themselves political parties do not want real change or actual improvements in the lives of those who you purport to speak on behalf of. That change would render you irrelevant to their needs. Address your remarks to your diminishing band of followers and leave me and my friends out of your grandiose schemes. You do not speak for me or anyone who I know."

The Marxist project,1858
Marx in Foundations of Political Economy (see Introduction,Grundrisse,1856-8) set out to write six different works.
In the event he left only Volume 1 of Capital. That book focuses on the materialist conception of history, labour conditions,the origins and spread of industry,the profit motive,money and the accumulation of capital.
But regardless of the political, social and economic phantasmagoria of public life, there are many other dimensions of human life and social existence other than the former social Darwinism and historical materialism.
Many more?
Yes,but a salve for those who seek redemption and salvation in dusty old tomes....
The Old Mole (as he called himself) with his description of capital accumulation and writings which embrace the best working descriptions of political discontent and working class hostility to the rich,not forgetting his dialectical materialism, discovered many of the key aspects of modern social existence and historical development.
Just because he cannot sit on our shoulders to give us political advice today does not mean that his writings are wrong in economic, historical or philosophical terms. However,we must approach them with caution because they are deterministic.
The political legacy of Marxism has greatly diminished. People like myself believe in the legal and constitutional rights of man.The Rights of Man (with apologies to Tom Paine) are something the Germans and Russians might not respect but other countries put them at the centre of their way of life.
.....
An apologia pro vitae eius
Despite their heartless outlooks, practices and ideas some scientific socialists are good-hearted. I am thinking of seasoned old campaigners on the moderate spectrum such as Kieran Allen and Willy Cumming but we cannot get away from the fact that theirs is a callous, inhuman and degrading ideology no better in its workings than slavery.
A relationship of enslavement was precisely what the Russians found themselves in almost immediately after the consolidation of "the dictatorship of the proletariat". With the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly in November 1918 came the autocracy of first Lenin then the rabid dungmongering of Trotsky. That was succeeded by the Stalin Terror.
.....
Some words of advice
If you become entangled in the snares of Communists or the ideology of Stalinism and atheistic Bolshevism, consult a priest for guidance and absolution since it is a grave moral error requiring the Sacraments.
Revolutionary socialists and Communists sow division and hatred. Their enemy is the family and they seek to destroy the family and the church. They bring ruin not just to themselves but to others and to those who vote for them.
My advice is to vote Labour,social democrat or for a democratic candidate who stands for election regularly and at least goes to Mass or a place of worship occasionally.
Revolutionary socialism belongs to what is known as a place of rabid over-the-top shouting and bawling such as a marketplace. There the din of a thousand voices contend,a tower of Babel.
.....
28.4.2024
Amongst the dated concepts of revolutionary socialism is the inevitability of a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Why do we call out this joint aim of the dolemen,petite bourgeois intelligentsia and French and Irish cutthroats?
Because social and working conditions are immeasurably better today in Britain and Ireland than in the nineteenth century. The recidivists fall down in non-engagement with the political process, that being organised elections. True socialists (German socialists) sit on the fence and talk vaguely about trade unions,a topic they have little knowledge of. They claim to see themselves as in solidarity with every Tom,Dick and Harry who ever lifted a spade but have little knowledge of the working life. Nihilistic ideaisation leads to contempt for real politics. These people are part of an endangered species of rarefied old fairy godmother.
Syndicalism and the Irish Communists
The CPI version of syndicalism in the 1930's gave way to the hole and corner reformism of the Irish Labour Party. This labour stew ferments into fringe journalism noone other than Indian fakirs take as coming from the heart.
Bon litterateurs!
....
The heart of the matter is that...
...the business of the Communist Party of Ireland is espionage,not politics. Even the fickle substance of Dick Spring's rhetoric appears potent in contrast to the silly grandstanding and idle nitpicking.
.....
The Communist model for Ireland of the type of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has nothing to commend it. The Communists spend their long hours in public houses gathering titbits to be fed to the Gardai and British Embassy in Dublin.
The financial mainstay of these Stalinist irredentists is payment for informing MI 6 and the British Army about republicans and dissidents. Mc Cartan has been doing so since 1969. Rarely does the truth become clear so practiced are the 'scientific socialists' in covering their tracks. In the case of O Murchu he stooped to murder on behalf of British Military Intelligence in 1974.
The British Army and their friends do not want political engagement by Irish people or civil rights protests or working class democracy. Irish nihilists perpetuate their apolitical views.
....
The current crop of "socialist" vanguardists?
We say to a bast... like Mc Cartan and his Garda handlers and the ex-British Army sergeant majors,"Not even you believe your empty rhetoric. You and the members of your tiny group are threatening and menacing corner-boys whose idea of politics is having someone evicted and sent back to the North,put out of a job or attacked with a cutthroat razor, knuckle-duster or breeze block. You'll die with your tongue hanging out for want of a drink. That is all you were paid for your proletarian exertions on behalf of British Military Intelligence and the dogends of society attracted to you and your affiliates."
As regards the other end of the CPI who claim the mantle of Connolly,democrats say that they are semi-anarchists drawn from the scum of all classes.
The game has moved on past even the Irish trades unions to a society based on the primacy of politics,The Just Society.
Political engagements deliver social security, pensions, education, policing,roads,social supports, public and private housing and regulation.
We say to the tinpot dictators and honorary proletarians,"The German statist model has been superceded and abolished in the West and East respectively."
Trade union government?
Very desirable BUT trade unionists don't give a hoot about the poor. When the levels of absolute poverty reached critical levels under Thatcher,Bush and Blair, real politicians had to step in and regulate the body politic by ironing out social differences.
.....
Trade unions
Always good but the classic totalitarian model of "scientific socialism" was a society largely run by trade unions.
Sane people say that the totalitarian model ignores the poor. It has bitten the dust in every country in the world.
....
Scientific socialists are people with no proper grounding in any field. They are people who do not know who their fathers were. Because of having had no authority figure in early life they have no standards to measure themselves by. They are cast adrift early and usually come a cropper early on in life. Those who were their role models are long dead.
....
1.7.2024
....
9.7.2024
Wherever you find 'scientific' socialists or communists,you find also a client affiliate or focus group for the native police. They cannot live without police approval because it is the police who have the power to curtail their activities and force them to dissolve their group and to hand over their assets to their creditors. Their creditors invariably are many and include the taxman.
....
2.2.2025
So-called Communists have done irreparable harm to the working class cause in Ireland by tying workers interests to the coattails of national democracy.
They do not see that national unity will come and old reactionary influences and out-of-date social formations fade with time.
Every time Communists are given the spotlight and allowed on to a podium and handed the microphone,they go off at a tangent to back groups which are semi-criminal and resort to thuggery, groups which are modelled on the Italian mafia.
Ignore Communists in Ireland,both them and those who they tell you to vote for. Tiny groups of ultra-leftists such as the Communists don't support anything objectively true and socially progressive.

Productivity?The Search for the Holy Grail
Much idle piffle is talked about the Soviet Union. Most of it originates in Germany which carefully monitors the world socialist movement as do all nations in decline or those after a hiatus.
Fools,fools,fools...
Do they understand nothing?
The history of modern economics is littered with the corpses of once powerful empires and thriving nation-states redolent with wealth and well-earned prestige.Gorbachev was the only one who told the truth openly to the CPSU.
Without improvements to productivity the Soviet Union was lost,he told them.
He too fell victim to the winds of change as do all rulers.

Richard the Raver. RTE news broadcasts
Turn on the RTE Politics Programme any night of the week for The Remains of The Day in current affairs to listen to the semi- educated ravings of Richard Boyd Barrett and Fine Gael clucks and old hens.
Despite these merry hens efforts at selective euthanasia,abortionism has been banished from the Dail with every forthright abortionist losing his or her seat. Richie hangs on like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke on the Dun Laoghaire seafront.
Perhaps "a proper psychiatric investigation and examination " would be in order for Richie and this news series producer.
