Socalist Sunday School #56: James Connolly's Socalism & Nationalism
This week, we will discuss James Connolly's "Socialism and Nationalism." As always, a comrade will summarize the reading before breaking out into discussion groups.
Originally published in 1897, Connolly presciently warned that Ireland would never truly be free from Britain's colonial power unless they could free themselves from the shackles of capitalism.
"If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain."
A founder of the Irish Socialist Republican Party and a lecturer for the Industrial Workers of the World whilst living briefly in Troy, NY, Connolly would be executed for his role leading the Irish Citizens Army during the 1916 Easter Rebellion.
This is a great opportunity to meet your comrades and discuss important ideas, whether you’re new to these conversations or have been involved in them for a long time. Every effort will be made to create a safe, accessible, and comradely space for learning and discussion.
If you attend in person, masking is required (and N95 masks will be provided). We will also have Corsi-Rosenthal air filters running.We look forward to seeing you soon!
