Posted by WorldbyStorm in History, Irish History, The Left.trackback
As promised last week here’s a reboot of the discussion on the meaning and legacy of the ‘soviets’ that manifested themselves during the War of Independence. It’s been an good discussion to date with many interesting points put forward discussed, disputed and and defended by everyone involved.
Just to recap, this discussion revolves around a number of issues, the nature of the ‘soviets’, their extent, the issue of revolutionary potential, the relationship between the labour and republican movements, the cleavages with republicanism and within labour, the nature of leadership of the labour movement, issues as regards land agitation and so on.

Unless I’m doing osmehting wrong, the link for “the discussion on the meaning and legacy of the ‘soviets’” leads to a discussion about Presidential candidates.
No, you’re right but you have to scroll down through the comments on that post.
