Can a national liberation struggle build a workers’ republic, or does it just repaint the fence around capital? This video walks through James Connolly’s test for a “socialist republic,” reads the 1916 Proclamation alongside the Irish Citizen Army constitution and the First Dáil’s Democratic Programme, and sets the Irish debate against Luxemburg, Lenin, Kautsky, and Bukharin. The claim is simple: nationalism only carries socialist content when property, power, and administration are remade in the hands of producers.
