They Are Killing the Dogs, They Are Killing the Cats: The Calculating Cruelty of Colonial Deflection
An Irish socialist perspective on ICE, weaponised innocence, & the pedigree of exclusion.
Critical Analysis
Why the Bourgeois Press Still Smears Us
The bourgeois press does not defend democracy or the national interests, it defends property. Its moral outrage is selective. When power drops bombs, it calls it “defence”. When the powerless resist, it calls it “terrorism”. When elites break laws, it calls them “reforms”. When ordinary people rise up, it calls them “riots”.
Social Conservatives Should Embrace Anti-Imperialism
The first-order consequences of imperial wars, most evidently the mass displacement of peoples, have direct effects on Europe’s material conditions, including migration pressures that people debate about yet too rarely trace back to their structural causes.
Murder is a Sin, to Migrate is Not
This universal mission still has meaning in the 21st century, a century of unparalleled greed. This is a century of capitalist turmoil and naked imperialism, a century of ever increasing inequality. The goal of Vatican II remains.
We Don’t Need The Plebs: How the Left Left the Working Class Behind
From the moment Two Jags Prescott declared, “We’re all middle-class now”, people like Gerry simply ceased to exist in the eyes of progressive and left-of-centre hacks. For a while, this cost progressive politics nothing: people like Gerry didn’t engage anyway. Until they did: with votes for Brexit, with a cruel witch hunt of Trans people, with wildfire riots on the streets of Stockport.
The Fall of the Woke Left
Woke left ideology begins when the movement stops centering the worker in their socialist activism.

The Demise of the Old Guard
I leave this article with concrete suggestions as to what the Irish Left should laser-focus on in its messaging if it wishes to recapture the imagination of the people. The text here is exact. Wording is the most important in the production of propaganda.
What Rosa Gets Wrong About Socialist Feminism
Rosa posted over 500 Instagram posts in 2025, 0 of them were about childcare, 0 about medical misogyny, 0 about domestic labour inequality, 0 about the specific struggles faced by housewives. In this article Saoirse Éireann exposes Rosa’s failings on class.
The Dirtbag Manifesto
In my previous article, I defined the traits of the “woke left” that the establishment left has used to insulate leftism to just a core group of their guys. These traits have been applied sometimes in sincerity but also as malicious tools to silence the radical left. In this response to Mia Craven’s “post mortem on the dirtbag left” I wish to establish some scientific basis in defence of Molnárfi’s call that we should all be dirtbag leftists.
What makes something woke left?
In this piece Saoirse Éireann seeks to answer the question raised by J.D. Troy as to “what makes something woke left” setting out the three main characteristics of “the woke left” and how they apply to Ireland.
