Today, Eire pursues the path of reconciliation with Great Britain – a place in the imperialist system

We, on the other hand hold no illusions about the English ruling class. Aged Chartist Ernest Jones once
responded to chauvinist calls of his day with ‘The sun never sets, the blood never dries’ – At this day ,
the sun has seemingly set on the Empire, which only has meant its replacement and subordination to
another, but we have to say ‘the blood never dried’

REPUBLICAN PRISONERS IN OCCUPIED IRELAND TODAY

Reporter from Workers World write :

I’d studied Irish history and knew of Bobby Sands’s suffering — he

was the leader of the 1981 Hunger Strike who, along with nine of his comrades,
died so that all political prisoners would live with dignity inside British dungeons
— and the 1973 force feeding of two IRA sisters, Marian and Dolours Price, in
England. So I knew I would have been ill equipped to deal with psychological
torture.
Hence we observe a special case : whom was a partisan who wouldn’t succumb to these British
methods : what we don’t hear of, are the bellowing cries of detained citizens whom the former can
break.

COLLECTIVE AMNESIA IN BRITAIN

According to a poll published by YouGov , 59% of British respondents think the British Empire to
be ‘more something to be proud of’ , as opposed to just 19% thinking such to be ‘more
something to be ashamed of’
Indeed we could further question the wording of the poll given – how much of the 19 among
every 100, think Britain doesn’t pursue the same interests it did thence, for it had been subdued
in the aftermath of the post-war upsurge and rise of the US imperialism which dominates and
unites all.
As players of Irish descent refuses to wear the poppy, the Anglo chauvinist cries are raised
against him, condemning him for refusing to honor

the same criminals whoms’t perpetrated the Bloody Sunday massacre.

Of all times during British rule, whom is to forget the 1845-1852 famine?
Us are made to forget – in history textbooks, in the narratives which run are today – the period
is referred to , euphemistically as a ‘blight’ or simply as a ‘famine’
Mass Graves of Ireland

Famine is a useful word when you do not wish to use words like ‘genocide’ and ‘extermination.
(Frank O’ Connor)
“The Almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English created the Famine…and a million
and a half men, women and children were carefully, prudently and peacefully slain by the English
government.“ (John Mitchel)
In Britain, the “new” Labourites continue with their faux europopulism, protesting hypocritically
that we and our comrades wanting a break with the EU are actually “left populists” in contrast
to xenophobic “right populists” - whilst they, on the other hand, continue to blow sand into the
eyes of British workers – that the organization which works to tighten the ‘security belts’ of
workers in Greece provides them with cordial relations with their brethren across Europe
As our delegate at CYM speaks at the Young Communist League’s 49th Congress in London :-
The free trade union of European states propagated ideas of human rights, peace and
internationalism with one hand – while forming armies, privatising public services and building walls with the other.
This feeds nationalism.
We can build a Europe that works for the people, we can build a home, a world where we
actually look forward to baring children, bringing new life into this world, rather than fear the very prospect of it. I
believe that communities can come to each others aid with no hidden malice of oil, trade or power, that we can
together tackle the issues of the past which have doomed our collective destinies. We ask for your aid now in Ireland
and in the Commonwealth and across the globe.

Irishmen and Irishwomen, the history has to be known- the history of the numerous revolts
waged in the oldest colony of Brittanica, the widespread ignorance
We need to learn not compromise with and integration into the imperialist system, for events of
the Civil War teach us against it ; the events today in Northern Ireland after IRA entered into
“peaceful agreement” with the imperialists - an act which in the words of deceased fraternal
comrade, Kanafani is the ‘conversation between the knife and the neck’

Rationale :

This pamphlet is an appeal to national integrity of the Irish populace, pointing to repeated violations
against such and making vivid the political picture that prevails over the situation. The pamphlet is
meant to be distributed by the Connolly Youth Movement around in Ireland.

The intent behind the use of the repeated Irish flags is to attract attention.
