Irish Communists call for united Ireland as Brexit looms

IRISH communists have called for the unity of all forces who oppose imperialist domination in fighting for a united Ireland as Brexit looms nearer.

The Communist Party of Ireland (CPI) claimed the rupture with the European Union continues to expose deep fissures within the British ruling class and British social democracy. 

The party warned that Brexit also exposed the subservient relationship of the Irish ruling class towards the EU, allowing the Irish national democratic question to be exploited by both pro and anti-Brexit forces in Britain.
