I hear when the premier league winners and FA cup winners play each other in August it’s going to be called the Communist Shield from now on.

mate of mine who's down so many rabbit holes I don't know where he'll next appear was sh*teing on about Ireland being Communist now.... Think it's all just learned behaviour from Americans online. Any Irish issue that comes up on Twitter it's mostly Americans or bots commentating and people taking what they say seriously

There's technically only 2 Communist Parties in Ireland at present. The Communist Party and The Workers Party previously Official Sinn Fein ( Official I.R.A). WP have 1no. CLLR in the Cork and that's it across the whole island. I can't remember the last time the CP contested an election even. At one stage, one man (Sean Garland) "controlled" both party's at the same time. Anyone who tells you anything different hasn't a f**king clue

Spot on. I remember been in the states years ago when the Obama campaign was on and got chatting to a high flying corporate lady who was mid 40s at the time. We were chatting about politics and she said she she was not voting for Obama as he was a socialist and Europe has tried socialism and it failed. This level of ignorance has not crept into Irish life and people who do not have a clue about politics or political Theory using words and they literally do not understand. This thread is a classic case of this. Describing a free market pro enterprise pro big business organisation such as as the EU as communist is laughable. Centre right economic policies are being described as communist. The thing is if they did their homework the thing that they have huge issue with which is identify politics, many of the far left actually have issues with because their view is that the struggle starts with class and not identity. This a battle on the left with regards to social policies. All of this culture war stuff and using labels ignorantly has been imported from the states and like there it’s being used by people who actually do not understand the concepts or words they are using. I expect some to come on here and say that’s condescending but if someone argues 2+2 =5 and you say no it’s not is 4, it’s not condescending it’s just correcting them. Everyone has a right to their opinion but not everyone has a right to their own facts and changing what words and political concepts mean. Ironically Ireland was closer to a communist country back in the 1950s (due to far more state run companies etc and protectionist trade policies ) than now and often many of these lads want to bring Ireland back to the 1950s

Ireland is a member of a de facto federalist group of Liberal Pro-Globalist states...to consider it communist you would need a very strange mindset

I reckon some lads on here should get a copy of Bizmarck to De Gaulle and the Irish equivalent of secondary school history books and do inform themselves a little.
Once they have them read Coakley and Gallaghers book on politics in Ireland is a good place to go to get an overview of politics in this country. Edited by Baldrick - 27 Mar 2024 at 11:41am |

This, in short. There are a handful of commies in the country, and as a rule they don’t participate in elections, or actually make any impact. It’s a bit of an insult to the victims of totalitarian communist rule to consider Ireland communist or the EU communist.

You are making a fool of yourself here. This is basic comprehension. You said you said and I quote. “Part of Hetfields post sounded like communism”
I have simply asked which parts sound like communism.
