Aontacht Media sat down with Dr. Michael Rectenwald, Libertarian Party (Mises Caucus) member and founder of the Anti-Zionist American Political Action Committee (AZAPAC), a lobby group which seeks to remove Israel’s influence in United States politics. AZAPAC endorses and funds anti-Zionist political candidates, irrespective of whether they run on a Democratic or Republican ticket.
National culture emerges historically and is not something that is an unalterable permanent feature of any particular group. But nor is it arbitrary and open to instant change.
The crux of this is the need for not ten, hundred or even a thousand, but thousands and thousands of students to commit themselves to the strike, having understood that unless this happens, the pro-Palestine movement will disintegrate. There is no alternative. Once again: there remains one way to move the dial, and the dial must be moved, so will we move the dial?
A specter is haunting orthodox Marxism – the post-Marxist specter of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe.

Their concerns ignored for months and months, the eruption of a riot triggers media frenzy, focusing on the unsavoury elements: rage- and hate-fuelled racist agitators.
A few weeks ago, the Community Action Tenants’ Union (CATU) issued a call for an all-Ireland national housing demonstration on July 5th. A few days later, a bloc of soft-left, social-democratic Dáil parties consisting of Sinn Féin, Labour, the Social Democrats, and People Before Profit called for housing demonstrations under the Raise The Roof (RTR) campaign, a campaign connected to many Irish trade unions which has sat dormant for many years.

Those keeping track of British politics as of late are likely familiar with the emergence of Your Party. For those not familiar with it, it is, in essence, a grassroots organisation spearheaded by MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn, along with a few others in Parliament or otherwise.
