Towards A Socialist Republic, is a new site, which aims to put forward clear arguments in favour of smashing the capitalist system and the establishment of an Irish Socialist Republic!
The team behind this site are active socialist republicans, who feel the need to create a space for debate and discussion of issues of relevance to socialists and republicans, both in Ireland and Internationally.
We also aim to use this site to promote socialist republicanism amongst the Irish Working Class and to re-popularise the writings of great Irish socialist republicans such as James Fintan Lalor, James Connolly, Liam Mellows and Seamus Costello. The writings of these heroic socialist republican activists can provide important advice and teachings for those struggling for socialism today.
As we begin this project, capitalism is in its deepest crisis of our era. It is becoming abundantly clear to many millions across the globe that capitalism is not working. Different solutions are being put forward that aim to end the crisis. It is our opinion ‘that from socialism alone, can the salvation of mankind come’. Capitalism cannot be reformed- it must be overthrown.
We believe, as did James Connolly, that ‘Only the Irish working class remain as the incorruptible inheritors of the fight for Freedom In Ireland ‘.
We assert that the class struggle and the struggle for national liberation are one and the same. There can be no parliamentary road to socialism. In the fight to establish an Irish Socialist Republic, domestic capitalism and British and European imperialism must be overthrown by a mass movement for socialism. We are aware that this is no easy task. Our explioters will not give up their power without a fight. However we believe the conditions of the latest capitalist crisis are very favourable for a re-popularisation of Irish Socialist Republicanism!
We believe that by using the writings of Marx, Lenin, Connolly and Costello as a guide, and applying their teachings to the conditions of Ireland in the 21st century, the Irish Working Class has a roadmap to victory!
This site will offer comment on current affairs from an unashamedly socialist republican position. We will put forward the Irish case for socialism, and assess the current social, cultural, economic, and political conditions of today’s Ireland.
To broaden the debate, we also invite articles and comments from other socialists and republicans and will share interesting articles from our international comrades that may be of interest to the struggle in Ireland.
If you are interested in submitting an article for consideration for this site, please email towardsasocialistrepublic@gmail.com
‘Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend’
Forward to the socialist republic!
