The Socialist Party is opposed to the visits to Ireland by Queen Elizabeth and Barack Obama. €25 million will be spent wining, dining and protecting the Queen and Obama in a vain attempt to try to rebuild Ireland’s damaged reputation. The reputation of the Irish state was of course destroyed by the actions of the Irish capitalist class whose greed, corruption and unquestioning faith in the market has bankrupted the country.
Whilst the media and the politicians fawn over the Queen and Obama they are choosing to ignore that they are “leaders” and the highest representatives of countries who are currently actively engaged in three imperialist wars.
For ‘capitalists and landlord classes’, read ‘media and politicians’. For ‘exalt’ read ‘fawn’. Otherwise, good to go.
