A stirring collection of James Connolly's most important speeches and writing.
James Connolly was een vooraanstaand Iers socialistisch leider en marxistisch theoreticus. Ondanks zijn wortels in Edinburgh, Schotland, onderhield hij een diepe band met zijn Ierse erfgoed en speelde hij belangrijke rollen in de Schotse en Amerikaanse politiek. Zijn intellectuele bijdragen vestigden hem als een toonaangevend marxistisch denker van zijn tijd. Connolly's onwrikbare toewijding aan zijn principes leidde uiteindelijk tot zijn executie na de Paasopstand van 1916.

In this influential work, socialist leader James Connolly examines the history of Ireland through a lens of class struggle. He argues that Irish workers must unite across religious and political divisions to overthrow their capitalist oppressors and gain true independence. Connolly's writing remains relevant today as Ireland continues to grapple with issues of inequality and social justice.

Focusing on economic independence, James Connolly's work presents a revolutionary strategy for workers to reclaim industries from the ruling class. He argues that the subjugation of Ireland stems from the oppressed's financial dependence on their oppressors. By merging the concerns of the Irish Nation with the working class, Connolly envisions a policy fostering cooperation that can ignite self-determination. This synergy aims to inspire a renewed sense of freedom, optimism, and purpose among the Irish people.
