Communists crack the whip

It is getting to the point where "1916 societies" now have to reprimand their own members. Not only does their communist ideology have nothing to offer the plain people of Ireland, it is increasingly irrelevant to the concerns of rank and file republicans. Instead of graciously accepting this and allowing their members some leeway, and maybe even take the opportunity to reflect, they do what communists like to do; crack the whip.

A useless ideology married with a jealously authoritarian approach - a recipe for success I am sure.

Meanwhile the plain people of Ireland will go on, in search of leadership.
