Godfrey Cremer discusses our attitude towards modern day internationalism, with reference to the experience of the Spanish civil war. Anti-imperialism in all its forms is more likely to be labelled 'terrorism' than freedom fighting, as it was by Fascism and the 'democratic' imperialists in Spain. But we must not be drawn down this path. We must learn the lessons of the intervening years (1936 - 2012)

  • @1988theLAW I have learned not to get drawn into pathetic arguments with the bourgeois elements on youtube, so good day to you sir!

  • @1988theLAW @1988theLAW At one time, James Connolly was also a member of the British Army, who then went on to become one of the greatest Marxist revolutionary leaders of all time. Conditions back then were strife for a lot of the Irish population who were living in slums with no food on their tables. Joining the Brit Army back then was the only option for many, to keep themselves and their families from dying of starvation.

  • @dropkicknicos The irish supported hitler, whose fascist imperialism was far more oppressive and "evil" than the british, the irish are not saints nor are they martyrs for the world, they are nationalists, they expressly targeted civilians and are therefore terrorists.

    the IRA at its height contained 15,000 men, were as hundreds of thousands fought for ireland in the 1st WW on Britains side only to have their cause betrayed by 1,000 men (the easter "uprising").

  • @dropkicknicos Do not forget that up until the late 1920's 70% of the British army was Irish, and that was at the height of imperial Britain's power, more Irish fought for the empire than they ever did against it.

    The Irish fought for nationalism not internationalism.

  • Don't forget the Irish fight against imperialism who have been fighting against imperialism now, for generations!

  • Was that Wasun at the end song?
