Books I've read in 2026: a thread!

@Shizz617209 Yeah if we’re talking about the 70s onward you’re right, all the major orgs called themselves socialist. By “big tent” I mean that in practice a wide variety of views existed amongst individual Republicans, and that this was always the case

[The Inkling @StanRogers83]

@KingKanawha1863 John O’Leary was a separatist in favor of monarchy, though I don’t know which royal line he wanted to restore/instate

[The Inkling @StanRogers83]

@Shizz617209 The IRSP and Officials were more clear cut in their socialism; though the Provisionals were eclectic and their views changed over time

[The Inkling @StanRogers83]

@Shizz617209 The social and economic program of the Provisional movement pre-1982, Éire Nua, fashioned itself as a native Irish socialism and did not advocate abolishing private property. Overall left leaning in tenor, but not socialism in the classical sense

[The Inkling @StanRogers83]

@paddy_nasrallah 100% agree

[The Inkling @StanRogers83]

Seeing the worst takes imaginable on here about the IRA from unlettered American RWers. Irish Republicanism was not “always Marxist”, its policies changed depending on the decade and iteration; but even in its most left wing and right wing periods, it was/is a big tent.

Reform is now the party of workers.

Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK.

We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

Absolutely sickened by the scenes in North Belfast. Solidarity from traditional Irish Republicans in the USA.

“The land of Hope and Betsy Gray
Of Orr, McCracken and Munro
The land where Mitchel sleeps today
To foreign thieves shall never go.”

@unitas_spiritus Beiser is the goat, I have his book on the German Historicists in my to-read pile

I had a similar reaction upon reading Magnifica Humanitas in full. The possibility that AI might be qualitatively different from other technologies and thus a greater threat to the integral person needs to be brought to the fore.

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

Fantastic essay by Catholic philosopher Anton Barba-Kay, criticizing pope's AI encyclical. ABK says pope does not recognize the fundamental threat AI poses to the human person, mistakenly thinking it to be a technology like any other. https://t.co/O59C4AsqmG
