James Connolly: Ireland's greatest revolutionary
The Easter Rising was isolated and defeated. Though the rebels succeeded
in taking over key locations in Dublin and declaring an Irish Republic,
the rebellion was suppressed after six days of fighting. Its leaders,
including Connolly, were captured, put on trial and executed.
But Connolly was correct in thinking that the crisis of the war could be
channeled into revolt. In 1917, 10,000 workers rallied in Dublin to show
their support for the Russian Revolution, and that year marked the
beginning of a radical upsurge in Ireland that lasted until 1923.
James Connolly was an exceptional working-class fighter and
anti-imperialist and his ideas and actions continue to be a source of
inspiration today.
