Marxist Winter School #5: The Irish Struggle for Freedom

One hundred years ago, Ireland was in the midst of a revolutionary war for independence from Britain. The Irish struggle for freedom is full of lessons for Marxists today— the tactics of divide and rule of the ruling class, the betrayals of nationalist leaders, the role of individual terrorism, the role of religion, and above all the role of the working class in national liberation struggles. In this episode, Ben Curry, editor of Socialist Appeal UK, discusses the Irish struggle for freedom.
