EP5 - Limerick Soviet 2.0?
Manage episode 232759552 series 2499849
In this season finale we look at the lessons from the Limerick Soviet for today, what can we learn from how unions organised low paid and precarious workers rapidly, how left and socialist ideas became commonplace, but also why the struggle did not produce the revolution dreamt of and lessons for those who want to make change today.
To find out more about the Limerick Soviet check out these books by Dominic Haugh (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Limerick-Soviet-1919-Revolt-Bottom/dp/1916090907/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=limerick+soviet&qid=1557055073&s=gateway&sr=8-1) and Liam Cahill (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Forgotten-Revolution-Centenary-Limerick-Soviet/dp/1912328410/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=limerick+soviet&qid=1557055073&s=gateway&sr=8-2)
