maybe so but for Connolly his nationalism always took on the form of anti-imperialism and didn't hold back to attack the bourgeois that professed republicans. i'm sure your well aware of the quote were Connolly argues the formation of an independent Irish state would be in vain unless a socialist society was set about being built

@gman1888 I would actually say larkin was more syndicalist then socialist. That said since i wrote that i've reapraised connolly. A great socialist but unfortunately also a nationalist.
