    This is a blinder of an article, prepare for the brick-bats to be thrown our way by the loyal devotees of Connolly.

    Oh, and lest we forget the sort of nonsense he spouted:

    Quote:
    the frontiers of Ireland, the ineffaceable marks of the separate existence of Ireland, are as old as Europe itself, the handiwork of the Almighty, not of politicians. And as the marks of Ireland’s separate nationality were not made by politicians so they cannot be unmade by them.

    It's not a "nation" any more than anywhere else but it is geographically separate as little as that matters.

    Just a reminder, SOYMB blog,also has a post on the "Free" State that could be described as an addendum to the Connolly articlehttp://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-free-state.htmlI particularly like the election poster reproduced on the blog
