"The Dublin insurgents, Connolly included, were opposed to over seven centuries of British domination, not to the havoc capitalism had created across the globe."

- Austen Morgan,
James Connolly: A Political Biography

Some Brilliant books on this site. I'll probably be picking up a few. I recommended to them to put up James Connolly's collected works (as well as others) so hopefully they put that on the site as they have Pearse's (as the only place selling Connolly's collected works is some shitlib place).

"The I.R.S.P. was founded in Dublin by a few working men while the writer had succeeded in interesting in his proposition that the two currents of revolutionary thought in Ireland, the socialist and the national, were not antagonistic but complementary, and that the Irish socialist was in reality the best patriot, but in order to convince the Irish people of that fact he must first learn to look inward upon Ireland for his justification, rest his arguments upon the facts of Irish history, and be a champion against the subjection of Ireland and all that it implies. That the Irish question was at bottom an economic question, and that the economic struggle must first be able to function nationally before it could function internationally, and as socialists were opposed to all oppression, so should they ever be foremost in the daily battle against all its manifestations, social and political."
