My review of @KaiHeron Milburn and Russell's 'Radical Abundance'.
"part searing critique of the bullshit abundance produced by capital, part strategic argument about how we can get beyond capital, and part outline for putting these ideas into practice."

Catherine Connolly takes office as Ireland’s president today.
Her left-wing insurgent campaign took the Irish political establishment by surprise, winning a record number of votes and proving the Left can still triumph even in a bleak political landscape.jacobin.com/2025/11/connolly…
Pro-Putin, anti-choice protesters on the streets of Dublin today, pretending to be 'Irish patriots'.
Fortunately they were met by a large crowd of anti-imperialist, anti-racist people who remember the words of Connolly:
"Let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner."

Nice to see some developed written debate on the left on this, glad @RuptureMag_ could help kindle this!
However, socialist debates should be honest and comradely, understanding the others point and responding to it - not shifting the goal posts to try save face.

So now they aren't critiquing the actual existing pamphlet that sparked this whole thing, but a vaguer notion of what they they think some statements in the press "let on"?
Selective quoting, paraphrasing 'the purpose' of an article is rather than quoting the article etc?
Glad to see my article sparking a bit of debate, hopefully more tune in to this too!
I don't that it is "probably too late in this election cycle to build a movement that will gain enough seats to be in contention for government without either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael."
Last week we published an opinion piece on ‘The Case for Left Unity in the coming General Election’, and encouraged others to respond with their thoughts.
Today we publish a response from a former Sinn Féin councillor Séighin Ó Ceallaigh.

Most importantly, such an Ard Fheis could end the drift to the right by SF, which has been disastrous.
People are angry, many aren't voting cause they don't trusy anyone. We need a bold, anti-establishment left to mobilise that anger, and present a radical socialist alternative.
