The Re-Conquest of Ireland by James Connolly
Product Code: TheReConquestCP
Weight: 120.0g
Product Condition: New
The underlying idea of this work is that the Labour Movement of Ireland must set itself the Re-Conquest of Ireland as its final aim, that that re-conquest involves taking possession of the entire country, all its power of wealth-production and all its natural resources, and organising these on a co-operative basis for the good of all. To demonstrate that this and this alone would be a re-conquest, the attempt is made to explain what the Conquest of Ireland was, how it affected the Catholic natives and the Protestant settlers, how the former were subjected and despoiled by open force, and how the latter were despoiled by fraud, and when they protested were also subjected by force, and how out of this common spoliation and subjection there arises to-day the necessity of common action to reverse the Conquest, in order that the present population, descendants alike of the plebeian Conquerors and the Conquered plebeians, may enjoy in common fraternity and good-will that economic security and liberty for which their ancestors fought, or thought they fought.

"Great book that pairs really well with Connolly's other book, Labour in Irish History. Connolly finishes what he started writing in Labour in Irish History here, he puts forth all of his ideas for how Ireland can finally be free from British imperialism an the role that unions will play with the labour force of the proletariat and the farmers" Clover - Thursday 5 August 2021
