John Molyneux has sadly passed…

One of the foremost Marxist theorists of the last 50 years..

I met John many times in the early 2000s when he would come to Ireland to speak at events…

He moved here around 2010 and became a driving figure in the Irish left…

For the last few years I only knew him through Facebook…He was always very supportive of anything that was going on up here….

There’s far too many proper tributes from folk who knew him well for me to add anything new.

So I’ll simply say that he was a very gentle giant of progressive thought and theory….

He died after leaving an anti war meeting…

Like an old cowboy he went out with his boots on…
