Over 30 years of anarchist writing from Ireland listed under hundreds of topics
A statement issued in 1988 after internal disagreements within the WSM had led to its partial collapse. Those whom remained and rebuilt the organisation in the following years offered this analysis of what had been acheived and what had gone wrong.
WE ARE BACK. It is almost a year since the last issue of Workers Solidarity and you want to know what happened. Ireland has little or no anarchist tradition so rather than just learning from those who went before us we had to make a fair few mistakes while we were developing our politics and building the Workers Solidarity Movement. The biggest mistake we made was putting too much emphasis on day-to-day activities at the expense of achieving a deeper and clearer understanding of the anarchist idea; it's libertarian values as well as its socialist goal.
Articles from the three issues of Workers Solidarity published from the Summer of 1988 to the Spring of 1989. In this period it was a 20A4 page magazine in format. This is a selection of the articles, once we scan the remaining ones we will add them to the site.
