Sorry but as the song says, an English boss a bastard and an Irish one even worse...so fuck your anti english racism. This is about resisting economic oppression from whoever, All Irish Americans arm against NYPD and others who "clear" protestors or be known as 'plastic paddys' from this day. Or havn't you got the balls Connolly had?
The problem with the English is they think their better then everyone else. They forgot what the US done for them in world war 2 and they like taking all the credit. I believe all people should be free to live as they please without oppression. I've spent most of my life fighting against oppression & I have the scars to prove it. When it comes to oppressors I'm a professional, and the English are oppressors. Get out of Ireland you English bastards.
Paddys are 99% tell the yankee cops to stop or they betray Ireland...and their children will pay for the sins of their fathers. Those kiddy fiddling priests need someone to amuse them so they'd better be ready.
I'm with Connolly, to opose me is to support Thatcher....Shgit you lost
drop the sectarianism he stood against, fight, occupy or side with the tory bosses angainst the people. Some posters have already chosen an English boss over a free ireland by being sectarian Hope you like it traitor.
I'm an old freedom fighter and I hate oppressors that's exactly what England is. If it wasn't for the US the English would have been speaking German today. The English are a bunch of bast...d and are always tough when they have you out numbered.
@manhawk40 We listened to this song in World History class they other day while we learned about your guys' hardships under the english flag which was similar to our struggle in some sort of way. But Thank You for giving the U.S. credit for the needed intervention of the European Front; most Europeans don't understand that we lost a lot of good men to fighting in the same conditions.
@something9313 You realise that Connolly wasn't a Stalinist, don't you? His line was syndicalist/councilist one, not a statist one like that of Stalin et al. He belonged to a tradition which included stern critics of the Soviet Union (even in it's Leninist, pre-Stalinist phase) like Luxembourg, Pannekoek and Pankhurst. Seriously, do some research before you go flapping your lips about this.
@something9313 And of course you make no mention of the support of the Nationalists for the genocidal maniac Adolf Hitler, who many republicans helped despite his murder of the sisters of St Catherine in Poland. The 1916 rising was in itself undemocratic, Approximately 1,000 people out of a population of how many? Hardly a majority even in a Phillipines election, 16 men deciding the fate of a nation.... where was the womens voice?
Connolly is one of my heroes...its good to have a communist icon who never turned into a tyrant like the Bolsheviks or Castro. Someone who stayed loyal to the people until his death.
Yes maybe, but this was led by a Scotsman! But that wasn't Connolly's point, his fight, (& the real fight) was against the priviledged class, the aristocracy, not the working class "English", who lived no better than us?
If you respect Connolly, you'll refrain from the idiotic "brit-bashing" that James never used! He worked with them in Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow! He was a true Socialist, he bore no hatred towards "ordinary English", nor should we! "Connolly was there..."
That is all true Soulboy, but I'd like to correct one point Connolly was Irishman. Born in scotland yes...but had Irish Parents and saw himself as an Irishman so much that he gave his life for the Irish nation. He had his allegiance to Ireland before Scotland.
GB10, if having Irish parentage is the criterion, then half of Liverpool, Glasgow & North London are Irish LOL!
I wouldn't belittle the Great Man arguing this detail. I only wanted to point out that too many of our own seem to think that Nationalism = Simply Hating the English! Connolly would be ashamed reading some of the crap spouted here in HIS name! Probably by folk who never read a word he wrote, or know of the work he did as a Union Leader? He was a leader of all working men!
I see your point, my understanding of your comment was that you were trying to belittle Connolly's images of Irish martyr and make out he wasn't even Irish.
I now see what you were trying to say it is true Republican's have no hate aimed at the British, more the British Government and 'old Empire mind-set'
Could anybody tell me where the Rebel Heart can be watched or downloaded on web? Thats because I live in Russia and as far as I know this film can not be bought in my country and even isnt translated to Russian language...

Nicaragua got rid of Somoza.

Iraq got rid of Saddam Hussein with our help.
Now all Ireland has to do is get rid of the English.
