@Nocta Here's a little history: in 1916, left-wing politics was devastated: important #tradeunionists and leftists like #JamesConnolly, #ConstanceMarkievicz, #FrankSheehySeffington, #RichardOCarroll, #PeadarMacken #HelenaMolony and #BillPartridge were killed (Connolly, O'Carroll, Macken, Sheehy Skeffington outright, Patridge as a result of Bright's Disease made worse by imprisonment) or crushed by imprisonment etc like Markievicz and Molony 1/2
