In the second week of April 2026, heavy vehicle blockades brought the Republic of Ireland to a standstill under the banner of fuel price protests. The Irish left is sharply divided in its response. People Before Profit (PBP) TD Paul Murphy argues that the vast majority of participants have nothing to do with the far right and that the left should not abandon them. But, as the pseudonymous analyst Louth For Ever demonstrates in the article below, the far right did not attempt to intervene in (…)

Nationalism scholar Nadya Krupenkova traces how one such figure --- Alyaksey Dzermant, political scientist and key Eurasianist ideologue --- has assembled a systematic mythology of Belarusian identity designed to legitimise the country's growing subordination to (…)

Widespread protests against fuel price rises have provoked broad debate on the Irish left, between support and calling for the protests to stop because of the disruption to peoples's lives. This is the position of the broad socialist organization People Before Profit. Back the basic demands. Defend the right to protest.
