One of the defenders of Connolly House in Dublin when it was attacked by fascists over three days in 1934. He visited Moscow and was a frequent contributor to the party's newspaper in the 1930s, Irish Workers' Voice - which published this photo of him in 1933.

He was a founder member of the Workers Party of Ireland in 1927; member of the Secretariat of the Revolutionary Workers Group in 1932; and founder member of the Communist Party of Ireland in 1933.

The character count here forbids a deeper analysis (which is what is needed when we get into abstractions such as these) so I'll leave it at that, but essentially, the operational logic of capitalism demands the privatisation of what is a collective resource: money, and its operational procedure,

The underlying logic in a capitalist system is to allocate collective resources for the continued valorization of capital - and not for the nuture, growth and sustainability of those societies. It does this through violence on a global scale.

I'll go more into it this evening but a concept that's worth considering is that money is a claim on resources and labour. It is the conduit by which collective societal energy is moved around and allocated to certain activities (and not others).

It is not a "marketplace of ideas." You cannot use a neoliberal process to design progressive responses. This is about understanding economic class relations. It is about power, policy and the carnival of reaction.

But the top part is tough. It is work. It takes time, energy, and a certain committed stubbornness.

They shape institutions, policy, politics, culture, and society in general - in ways that are not going to be expressed by the Irish Times or the CSO or by Ireland's standing army of middle class public "intellectuals."

Those abstractions are class relations - and those relations have deep institutional forms.

Not all class relations are the same - they vary in nuance, impetus, and institutional expression from state to state.

The mutated colonial forms in Ireland have a deep-rooted energy and existence.

So a radical political economy is needed to ensure that when it comes to the formulation of objectives, strategy and tactics, a clearer picture as possible in order to ensure that the strategy meets the objectives of radical and progressive change.

But here's the rub. The theoretical apparatus they use to analyse those abstractions - in the main - is designed to justify the already-existing social relations, or to facilitate the ongoing capitalist extraction of value and resources that is the organisational objective of those abstractions.
