Socialism and Nationalism

Irish Socialistics, having learned from history that all noncommunistic crusades result in compromise, refuse to lose any resemblance with nations like France or Germany who only partially comprehend the problem of liberty. In this treatise James Connolly, the founder of the Irish Socialist Republican Party, talks about an Irish Republic which would control popular power and would disenthrall class antagonisms. He says that the establishment of Socialism insists upon the transition of the resources of production from private owners to a public majority who is accountable to the entire community. When this societal journey is complete, Ireland will be recognized by other more established nations and asked to join in trade agreements, diplomatic bargains, and formal social contracts which will further Irish progress.
