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
but im saying name doesnt necessarily matter
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
^^^
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
Thats pretty leftist
he made mistakes
Also, before modernist terms, the Nazi Party was considered a leftist party
State-Capitalism, despite its name, is very anti-capitalist
Because of their economic beliefs
what economic beliefs?
they didn't have consistent economic beliefs
State owned industry, workers rights
etc...
industry was not state-owned
