Irish workers, north and south, cannot afford a passive strategy which would allow others to decide our fate. We need to bring forward demands and develop strategies that put working class interests to the fore. We need to build for unity, independence, and socialism through working class unity and effort.

“We cannot conceive of a free Ireland with a subject working class.”

– James Connolly
