Republicanism & Socialism

A New Kind Of Politics

In the final part of his series of articles exploring the republican vision, An Phoblacht's Paul O'Connor examines the relationship of republicanism to socialism.

A few weeks ago, I was browsing the politics section in Waterstones when I overheard a conversation between two fellow-customers.

"Ever read this?" said the lad, picking The Communist Manifesto off a shelf.

"What is it?" asked his girlfriend.

"Karl Marx - his political theories. It shows you what a looper he was."

"Fairly crap, is it?"

"Well," he concluded, "Marx had his ideas - but they were all wrong."
