	Irish Democrat : Features : James Connolly, Irish socialist
		The Irish Socialist Republican Party was founded in 1896 as an independent national workers' party, in the interests of the Irish working class.
		The party had its roots in the radical democratic republican tradition, for Connolly considered that the fight for socialism in Ireland must be linked to the struggle for national liberation and that the Irish socialist was the continuing force of the revolutionary republican tradition.
		Members of the Supreme Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the radical republican movement from Fenian days, were not averse to an alliance with Connolly and the labour movement.

	Irish Democrat : Connolly Column : Socialism and Irish nationalism
		The reactionary attitude of our political leaders notwithstanding, the great mass of the Irish people know full well that if they had once conquered that political liberty which they struggle for with so much ardour, it would have to be used as a means of social redemption before their well-being would be assured.
		In the same way the Irish Socialist Republican Party seeks the independence of the nation, while refusing to conform to the methods or to employ the arguments of the chauvinist nationalist.
		An Irish Republic would then be the natural depository of popular power; the weapon of popular emancipation, the only power which would show in the full light of day all these class antagonisms and lines of economic demarcation now obscured by the mists of bourgeois patriotism.

		This excellent book on the Irish Socialist Republican Party (ISRP) by Dave Lynch gives an important historical account of one of the first parties that sought to link the struggle for independence with the struggle for socialism through the establishment of an Irish Socialist Republic.
		Therefore socialists rather than spending energy on trying to convince these ‘advanced nationalists’ of socialism should concentrate instead on convincing their audience and support base to move away from nationalism to a strategy of workers struggle from below as the way to win both national liberation and socialism.
		The main focus of the ISRP was getting socialists elected to parliament, therefore they missed the potential of gaining strength from supporting strikes that were going on at the time.

	Socialist Alliance founding conference
		As the great Irish Marxist, James Connolly, was fond of saying nearly a century ago to those who cautioned then that he be moderate, that he be "practical": the working class is not asking for anything beyond what we are entitled to--that is, the earth.
		A mass socialist party would commit itself to direct action: to struggle in the workplaces and on the estates, to demonstrations and mass agitation, defiance of the police and the courts.
		We congratulate all participants of the Socialist Alliance Meeting and we are sure that the platform to the election in December 2001 will be done with the most pure socialist ideal and it will strength the international solidarity between socialist, progressive and democratic Parties and organizations around the world.

	Reply to a letter from the Irish Republicanism Socialist Party
		There was a clear agenda to destroy the Republican Socialist Movement in order to pave the way for the final settlement of the Irish Question by the imposition of the two state solution along so called democratic lines to allow for further penetration by international capital.
		The IRSP response was to run a campaign in the union in support of a member of the Socialist party who was also standing.
		This is a standard rant against socialists, based on the republican militarist assertion that there were two struggles — the real struggle of the armed groups and the lesser struggle of the socialists, political activists and indeed, the whole mass of the Irish working class.

		Our manifesto was noticed favourably in the Socialist press of Germany, France, and America; that it should be ignored by the English Socialists to whom it was addressed was not calculated to the promotion of fraternal feelings between us.
		We are under no delusion as to the composition of the Irish Parliamentary Party, and if the Liberal candidate had been an honest Home Ruler it would have been quite consistent for them to have supported him rather than a Socialist; seeing, however, that he was an Imperialist, their action was somewhat inconsistent.

	What Is Irish Republican Socialism?
		The IRSP rejects a 'stagist' concept of the struggle - that first we must win national liberation and then we can press forward towards socialist objectives - understanding the national liberation struggle is but an aspect of the struggle for socialism.
		The Party also rejects the position that socialism can be achieved in one or both parts of Ireland without reunification, understanding that it is the very fact of partition that has served to divide the Irish working class and mask their actual collective interests as a class.
		The Party also understands that no parliamentary road to socialism exists, and feels no compulsion to participate in all electoral campaigns, but is prepared to use parliamentary politics and hold elective office as a means of carrying out propaganda, and where possible to aid the self-organization of the working class towards winning immediate objectives.
