Ireland
-
Alan Woods’ “Ireland: Republicanism and Revolution” examines Irish republicanism through a Marxist lens, arguing that its historical struggles intertwine with class dynamics rather than merely national identity. Woods emphasizes the need for working-class politics in any reunification efforts, critiquing past compromises that stabilized capitalist order while grappling with the complex nature of republicanism’s varied traditions.

James Connolly (1868–1916) was a key figure in the Irish socialist movement, blending Marxism with Irish republicanism. Born into poverty, he became a labor leader and strategist. His leadership in the 1916 Easter Rising marked his martyrdom, inspiring future movements for justice and linking national liberation with social transformation.
