Re-evaluating Syndicalist Opposition to the First World War Abstract It has been argued that support for the First World War by the important French syndicalist organisation, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) has tended to obscure the fact that other national syndicalist organisations remained faithful to their professed workers’ internationalism: on this basis syndicalists beyond France, more than any other ideological persuasion within the organised trade union movement in immediate pre-war and wartime Europe, can be seen to have constituted an authentic movement of opposition to the war in their refusal to subordinate class interests to those of the state, to endorse policies of ‘defencism’ of the ‘national interest’ and to abandon the rhetoric of class conflict. This article, which attempts to contribute to a much neglected comparative historiography of the international syndicalist movement, re-evaluates the syndicalist response across a broad geographical field of canvas (embracing France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Britain and America) to reveal a rather more nuanced, ambiguous and uneven picture.

  • Belfast Anarchist Group and Belfast Libertarian Group
    A History of the Belfast Anarchist Group and Belfast Libertarian Group 1968–1974 Michael Hall ISLAND 117 PAMPHLETS 1 Published October 2019 by Island Publications © Michael Hall 2019 [email protected] http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/islandpublications In October 1968 a small group of mostly young people formed the Belfast Anarchist† Group [BAG], to give a voice to those who believed in radical social change and new forms of participatory democracy. Later, they would also declare themselves totally opposed to the inherent sectarianism and authoritarianism prevalent in both physical force Irish Republicanism and reactionary Ulster Loyalism. Sadly, both those forces were too deeply ingrained in the psyche of the population and the clash between them led inexorably to the appalling conflict we euphemistically call ‘The Troubles’. For a while the BAG struggled against the tide of events but was eventually subsumed. A remnant of the group then formed the Belfast Libertarian Group [BLG] and once again attempted to open up a challenging debate on the unfolding events. However, by 1974, it too had to admit defeat and was disbanded. Nevertheless, it was felt that this brief history was worthwhile recording, even if only to highlight one of the dissenting tendencies within the Left which was present right at the inception of The Troubles. † This is not the place to begin to dispel whatever stereotypical notions the reader might hold about a philosophy which has been so pejoratively presented in the media. Suffice to say that the Anarchism which I find appealing has nothing to do with either bomb-throwers or chaos, but is something highly creative and life-sustaining.

  • 'Jim' Connolly Irish Freedom
    LITTLE RED LI9RE ™ 'Jim' Connolly and Irish Freedom By G. Schiiller TEN CENTS No. 11 PUBLISHING OOMOAJMV HIS W. WACMINGTOM ST. CMICXVOO ILL. LITTLE RED LIBRAR*Y No. 11 'Jim' Connolly and The Irish Rising of 1916 By G. Schiiller PRICE 10 CENTS. Published by DAILY HONKER. PUBLISHING COMPANY* CHICAGO I Introduction. When James Connolly, Marxian socialist and Corn- mander-in-Ghief of the Irish revolutionary army of Easter Week, 1916, was awaiting his doom at the hands of a British firing squad, his last words spoken to his daugh- ter Nora, expressed a fear that his comrades in the so- cialist movement would not understand this action. And few of them did. British socialists in particular, not all of them tho, regarded Connolly's heroic act a;3 a national- ist gesture, not having any relation whatever to the class struggle. That Connolly was a revolutionist of the new type, a man who knew all the weak spots in the imperial- ist structure and also knew how to mobilize all the anti- imperialist forces against the enemy, is proven by Com- rade Schoiller in his excellent article to which those few words are an introduction. James Connolly wajs born of proletarian parents in the northern part of Ireland. He was obliged to go to work for a boss at an early age. In fact, he had to lie albout his age in order to evade the law regarding child laibor. Early in his life he became interested in the so- cialist movement and agitated in Scotland, England and Ireland, before his first visit to the United States for a speaking tour.

Theory is capable of gripping the masses once it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical. To be radical is to grasp the root of the matter. But, for human beings, the root is human beings themselves. Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right (1843-44) 1 James Connolly was one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland.

  • The Seven Members of the Provisional Government James Connolly
    4.0 The seven members of the Provisional Government 4.6 James Connolly James Connolly, Vice-President of the Provisional Government of the Irish Republic. As Commandant General of the Dublin Brigade of the Army of the Irish Republic, he directed the military action. James Connolly (1868-1916) was born at 107 Cowgate, Edinburgh, the son of Irish Catholic emigrants, John Connolly, a carter, and his wife Mary McGinn. The family lived in extreme poverty. James went to work at the age of eleven and joined the British Army at fourteen, serving in Ireland for seven years. Returning to Edinburgh in 1890 he became actively involved in socialist politics. He was self-taught, reading voraciously in history, politics, economics and socialism. He came to Dublin in 1896 where he founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party and published the newspaper The Workers’ Republic. He opposed Home Rule as middle class, capitalist, and unlikely to promote social reform. In 1903 Connolly spent three months in the United States on a lecture tour; the following year he brought his family to live with him in New York, where he was active in Irish nationalist and socialist circles. He was a co- founder of the syndicalist Industrial Workers of the World (‘the Wobblies’) becoming their New York organiser. He also became a national organizer for the Socialist Party of America. In 1907 Connolly founded the Irish Socialist Federation and edited its journal The Harp which he set up in 1908. While in America he wrote some of his best-known works, including 1 Labour in Irish History, which greatly influenced the thinking of Patrick 4.6 James Connolly Pearse, and his famous polemic, Labour, Nationality and Religion, both of which were published in Dublin in 1910.

  • THE INTERNATIONAL Socialist Review
    THE INTERNATIONAL Socialist Review Vol X. FEBRUARY, 1910 No. 8 Fighting to Live By Tom A. Price. ARRASSED by a subsidized police force which drives them from corner to corner at the behest of their em ployers, disputing their right to live and move and exer cise free speech upon the streets once resonant with the peal of Liberty's bell ; lashed by the slave whip of neces sity in the hands of manufacturers who grudge them a paltry dole sufficient to keep body and soul together, three thousand girls in Philadelphia are fighting against tremendous odds for the privileges which, according to the frequent boast of American orators, are elementary — the common heritage of all. It is no longer a question of higher wages, important as that feature of the struggle is and has been from the beginning. It is a question of emancipation from something infinitely worse than hunger, a condition far more distressing than want. Without sympathy save among those of their own order; without resources ; without a knowledge in many cases of our language, much less our laws, these girls have shown a heroism, a devoted self-sacrifice, which should command the admiration of all men. With fear of neither confine ment nor bodily harm in their minds they go forth every day to do picket duty under the very eyes of the police whom they know are against them, not only as a matter of policy but as a matter of absolute necessity. They know that it is not possible for a "cop," wearing the uniform of the great "City of Brotherly Love," to permit them to claim a single right which is theirs under the law which no one violates oftener than the very men who are sworn in to uphold its provisions.
