James Connolly did believe in world socialism, but that does not mean that he didn't knowingly and willfully go to his death as a soldier for Ireland. He led the Irish Citizen Army and signed the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. He fought for not only the political independence of Ireland, but for its economic liberty as well, to establish an Irish Socialist Republic. Socialism/Communism has never gone wrong because it has never been enacted, It requires democracy, something pretenders lack.

Shitty song. James Connolly laid his life not down for a country, but for the socialist world revolution and the cause of the working class.
This song tries to establish a romanticised nationalist image of this dedicated marxist revolutionary.

Well, I agree Communism in practice can turn out to be even worse than Capitalism.
Though it has to be sad that negative propaganda has been made as well. For instance, people would say Stalin is responsible for 20 million deaths. However they would count the number of deaths caused by the German invasion with it and blame it all on Stalin. That's like saying Roosevelt is responsible for 40 million deaths because he fought the Axis-powers.

Are you serious so the church excommunicated men who were executed? Sinn Fein/IRA has never begged forgiveness. Michael Collins wouldnt have had much chance to decommission anyway as a fellow Irishman murdered him. A reat thank you to The one man that made the first step to at least get 26 counties independent. Obviously there were men like you around then. FRom the way you write I think you should be waving the Rainbow colored flag not the tricolour

Well damien(I dont know why you use the number 1 in your screen name 666 would be appropriate) shall I arrrange for my messages to be in braille as you are obviously blind as well as stupid. I have told you before I am not an orange man, my family are from Meath and Kerry. As a non protestant I cannot join the orange order(not that I want to). If U check you will find that what I said is true. also that the first person to be killed by the rebels in the Easter rising was an inocent 15 year old
