This website is honoring the activities of past revolutionaries on whose shoulders we stand in the fight against the capitalist monster. They are inspiration for us all in our daily activities against this monster who will devour us all if we don't finally slay it. 
“The Irish working class must emancipate itself, and in emancipating itself it must, perforce, free its country.” Those were the words of James Connolly, the great Irish socialist.

Connolly was a revolutionary socialist and trade union organiser in Scotland, where he was born of Irish parents, the United States and Ireland. He participated in the great debates of the international socialist movement at the beginning of the last century, standing on its revolutionary wing.
