Emma Dabiri Instagram – Honestly cannot believe I’m going to be in conversation with Bernadette Devlin McAliskey this Friday 🤯 for a night of Black Irish revolutionary music, history song !
Here’s a clip of Bernadette in action in 1971. It’s from Firing Line on “The Irish Problem” including this piece cos of the odious patronising position of the conservative Roger Evans, listening to him literally made my blood boil is an important reminder of the attitude of the imperialist to the colonised.
It’s also interesting because unlike todays discourse, even he recognises the parallels between conservatives liberals, and that the distinction lies instead between both of them leftists.
Todays discourse on the other hand, consistently conflates the aims objectives of liberals leftists, when they are very very different propositions.
Whether this obfuscation is intentional or not, it serves very well the purpose of obscuring the liberatory vision of leftist politics, confusing them instead with the status quo conserving priorities of liberals, and hoodwinking the people into believing there is no real alternative to the current shit show !
Anyway Friday night is gonna be 💥
