Easter Rising he didn't fight for a socialist cause
Ba'athism was during the Cold War
sects of Ba'athism were socialist, Natsoc was only in name though
Founded before it
It was more a "get the fuck out, UK" cause
gained power after it though
and their ideology substantially changed
anyways, it doesn't matter, scientific socialists have supported national liberation since Marx and beyond
This irish party never gained power
what matter does this make
I meant Ba'athism
i know
you only have to read up on Marx on the question of Irish liberation
well, which branch of Ba'athism matters, I guess
Look up Patrick Pearse
Historical context gives it the modern significance and nuance.
The whole thring was called Arab Socialism by its members and outsiders
Connolly fought along side Patrick
Just as Conolly called his party Socialist
I'm not saying he wasnt a socialist
yes, they fought together, but Connolly was obviously a socialist in what he wrote and what he supported
you can fight together for a cause and not agree with everything your bedfellows support
When fighting in the Easter rising he didn't fight for a socialist cause
I thought you meant what he fought for, I apologise
he was a republican and a socialist
he fought for an independent Irish Republic, but he wanted it to be socialist as well
similar to other anti-colonial projects, you have a lot of people and groups working together who normally wouldn't
I think the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party also worked together for a bit
^^^
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT
They were originally in the same party
But Mao broke off
Then they worked together during the Second Sino-Japanese war
>you can fight together for a cause and not agree with everything your bedfellows support
Makhno mistake, almost literally the October Revolution.
You guys like Mao?
Revisionist
I thought the fella was a mass murderer
tbh I think China is pretty based atm
mmm, China is state-capitalist, I would say
Mao was good but he could have been much much better
