COMMUNIST PARTY OF IRELAND / PÁIRTÍ CUMANNACH NA hÉIREANN

Partisan · Patriotic · Internationalist
Páirtíneach · Tírghrách · Idirnáisiúnach

The Communist Party of Ireland is an all-Ireland Marxist party founded in 1933. Its aim is to win the support of the majority of the Irish people for ending the capitalist system and for building socialism—a social system in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are publicly owned and utilised for the benefit of the whole people. Páirtí Marxach uile-Éireann a bunaíodh sa bhliain 1933 is ea Páirtí Cumannach na hÉireann. Is é aidhm an pháirtí tacaíocht thromlach mhuintir na hÉireann a bhaint amach do dheireadh a chur leis an gcóras caipitleach agus do thógáil an tsóisialachais—córas sóisialta ina bhfuil na córacha táirgthe, dáileacháin agus malairte i seilbh an phobail agus ina n-úsáidtear iad ar mhaithe leis an bpobal iomlán.

From the current issue:
Austerity: change of words but not of policy
Towards the end of April there was a flurry of media comment, not only in Ireland but throughout the European Union, that there was to be a major rethink or reappraisal of the “austerity” strategy being imposed by the EU and its national allies. In a carefully choreographed series of interviews, the ruling elite were attempting to give the impression to the peoples of Europe that they had come to the conclusion that austerity had gone too far . . .    Continue | Ar aghaidh

Statement on the crisis in Syria
The CPI calls on all democratic forces and peace-lovers to reject all the “humanitarian” pretensions and to rouse themselves to oppose imperialist aggression against Syria.

Ráiteas ar an ngéarchéim sa tSiria
Iarrann an CPI ar fhórsaí uile an daonlathais agus gach a bhfuil grá acu don tsíocháin diúltú do na héilimh “dhaonnachtúla” uile agus iad féin a mhúscailt le cur in aghaidh aon ionsaí impiriúlach ar an tSiria.

Political statement
The National Executive Com­mittee of the CPI in its evalu­ation of the politi­cal and econ­omic situ­ation in the country, north and south, states that what is most clear is that the crisis of the system is deepen­ing and that the contra­dictions within the system are deepen­ing and spreading.

Ráiteas polaitiúil
Ina léir­mheas ar staid pholaitíochta agus eacnamaíochta na tíre, thuaidh agus theas, deir Coiste Feidhmiúcháin Náisiúnta an CPI i ráiteas gurb é an rud is soiléire go bhfuil géar­chéim an chórais ag dul i ndoimhneacht agus go bhfuil na contrárthachtaí sa chóras ag dul i ndoimhneacht agus ag leathadh.

James Connolly Memorial Lecture, 2013
 On Saturday 11 May an overflow meeting in the New Theatre, Dublin, heard the noted American sociologist and activist James Petras deliver the James Connolly Memorial Lecture, 2013, on the theme “21st-century imperialism: Militarism, collaborators, and popular resistance.” ■ The text of the paper is now available in pamphlet form. ■ Comprehensive interview with Prof. Petras by the Connolly Media Group.

Léacht Chuimhneacháin Shéamais Uí Chonaíle, 2013
Dé Sathairn 11 Bealtaine chuala cruinniú thar maoil san Amharclann Nua, Baile Átha Cliath, Léacht Chuimhneacháin Shéamais Uí Chonaíle, 2013, á tabhairt ag James Petras, socheolaí agus gníomhaí canta Meiriceánach, ar an téama “Impiriúlachas an 21ú haois: míleatachas, comhoibrithe, agus frithbheart an phobail.” ■ Tá téacs an pháipéir ar fáil anois i bhfoirm paimfléide. ■ Agallamh cuimsitheach leis an Ollamh Petras ag Grúpa Meán Uí Chonaíle.


Capitalism does not work for the people
Responding to the survey on youth unemployment and emigration by the National Youth Council of Ireland, the CPI stated that it is not just the policies of the current and past Governments that have led to the haemorrhage of emigration of our youth but the economic system itself.

Ní oibríonn an caipitleachas ar mhaithe leis an bpobal
I bhfreagairt ar an suirbhé ar dhífhostaíocht agus imirce i measc na hóige a rinne Comhairle Óige na hÉireann, dúirt an CPI nach é beartas an rialtais reatha agus rialtais san am atá thart is cúis le fuiliú imirce ár n-óige ach an córas eacnamaíoch féin.
