Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away from the green and lovely lanes of killeshandra
The IRA in the 1920s were not socialist btw
Yeah
mmm, parts of it were
The IRA and their variants 1969-onwards are
doesn't matter baby
we still support them
Connolly was very socialist
No he was not
Hahahaha
umm, yes he fucking was
"As a Socialist I am prepared to do all one man can do to achieve for our motherland her rightful heritage – independence; but if you ask me to abate one jot or tittle of the claims of social justice, in order to conciliate the privileged classes, then I must decline."
He was very authoritarian
In his later years, not as socialist
really makes you think
>founded by james conolly
He fought along side non-socialists in the Easter Rising though
The Socialist who would destroy, root and branch, the whole brutally materialistic system of civilisation, which like the English language we have adopted as our own, is, I hold, a far more deadly foe to English rule and tutelage, than the superficial thinker who imagines it possible to reconcile Irish freedom with those insidious but disastrous forms of economic subjection – landlord tyranny, capitalist fraud and unclean usury; baneful fruits of the Norman Conquest, the unholy trinity, of which Strongbow and Diarmuid MacMurchadha – Norman thief and Irish traitor – were the fitting precursors and apostles.
If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain.
there is absolutely no fucking doubt he was a socialist
Look at Fianna Fáil
The word socialist has been used very liberally before the cold war
yes, not all of the IRA was socialist, but Connolly was definitely a socialist
think of NatSoc and Ba'athist "Arab Socialism"
