 | | Allegations of bad faith, betrayal of republicanism and secret IRB plots (Michael Collins's association with the IRB, who accepted the new state's legitimacy, irked rivals Éamon de Valera and Cathal Brugha) plunged the new Irish state into civil war (1922-1923). | | | Anti-Treaty republicans continued to use the name IRA.They launched unsuccessfull armed campaigns in England in the 1940s and Northern Ireland in the 1950s aimed at achieving a United Ireland. | | | Physical force Irish republicanism has usually been marked by a number of features: |

| | [Marxism] Irish Republicanism and Postmodern Pluralism Article |
| | The sectarian nature of the northern state (and the role Britain played supporting it) defined a republican politics in which the desire for equal and collective access to economic and social opportunities, along with opposition to state strategies of militarisation, marginalisation and exclusion were articulated through the signs, symbols and discourses of the ‘republican tradition’. | | | The interaction of these processes with modern republicanism has, in turn, been dependent upon the changing material circumstances of the ‘republican constituency’, the discursive character of republicanism as an ideological form and the political practice of Sinn Fein as a ‘party of community’. | | | Similarly, Frank Burton suggested that Irish republicanism emerged as the dynamic mobilisation of a ‘catholic social consciousness’ within nationalist working class areas of the north in the 1970s (Burton, 1978). |

| | Yet that republicanism, which appeared in Ireland now as the very name of personal and national liberty, was a direct descendant of the republicanism that had confronted the Gaelic-Catholic Irish as a merciless, would-be genocidal force of unrestrained butchery in the 1640s and 1650s. | | | This republicanism was new in its attitude to Catholics, for whom it demanded full religious and civil equality. | | | This was a Catholic republicanism that still had living roots in the United Irishmen. |

| | Many Republicans are locked up in Northern Ireland and, in 1957, when the leader of political Republicanism, De Valera, comes back to power after three years in opposition, internment is reintroduced in the 26 Counties. | | | Real Irish Republicanism is a democratic creed [see, for example, the Fenian Manifesto in WL57]: this was the narrowest Irish chauvinism, not Irish Republicanism. | | | In 26 County schools and in the official ideology of the state, Irish Nationalism and Catholicism are taught as virtually facets of one religion - the cause of Ireland is the cause of Catholicism and the cause of Catholicism is the cause of Ireland.* |

| | The central tenets of Irish republicanism can be described as independence, democracy, and socialism - these are the same objectives the republican movement fought for not only over the last thirty odd years but throughout the last two centuries. | | | In this context Irish republicans made a responsible decision to seek out new avenues and forms of struggle and called a ceasefire in the interests of preventing further needless bloodshed. | | | 'Trading under false pretences' to me is solely applicable to those republicans who walked away from the movement and attempted to claim the mantle of Irish republicanism illigitmately. |

| | It is clear that the Irish parties are no longer reluctant to use the term "republicanism" in political discourses. | | | S»amus Brennan, the Minister with responsibility for overseeing the 1798 Commemorations, went further arguing that republicanism "is always and only about creating a society free of in-built constraints to the achievement of the full potential of all its citizens". | | | Instead, republicanism is to be solely concerned with responsiveness to the contemporary needs and interests of citizens. |

| | James II in his political testament warned his son of the Republicans in the North by which he meant the Ulster Scots Presbyterians, and, in Jacobite histories, those described as the Loyalists were the Catholic gentry of Ireland. | | | One of the most extraordinary about-turns in Irish history was how in the space of a few months at the start of the Restoration, most Republicans and Commonwealth men suddenly became ardent Royalists in order to preserve and legitimise their confiscations and seizures. | | | The constitution was a fine amalgam of liberal democracy, Republicanism and Catholic social philosophy. |

| | Often the Irish eclipses the republican in the movement, but he manages to strike the right balance, although there could be more exposition about what republicanism is. | | | Some will disagree with his assumption that Irish Republicanism is ipso facto left-wing, … His stance on the EU and neutrality is 'traditional' and lacks recent intellectual engagement. | | | He presents an eloquent case not only against revisionists within the left, but for a renewed commitment by republicans to the values of social and economic justice and political and cultural equality. |

| | New book by Alan Woods on Irish Republicanism |
| | Irish Republicanism is in crisis and not for the first time. | | | With the emergence of the Civil Rights struggle the Republican left was in the ascendancy but with the outbreak of violence the Free Staters with guns and money split the Republican movement and backed the emergent anti-communist Provisional Republican movement. | | | The subsequent decision by the Official Republican movement to back the concept of the reform of the six-county state led to Seamus Costello and other comrades walking away to form a party based around the most advanced ideas of republican socialism. |

| | The Irish Republican Socialist Movement is thus well placed and has the necessary credibility to renew the republican and socialist projects in Ireland, and ensure that the cause of Ireland and the cause of Labour remain organically tied. | | | Their republicanism is also profoundly inclusive, substituting the common name of Irish man and woman to the Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter denominations. | | | This aspect of republicanism is very relevant today, when one thinks about the recent nationality referendum in the south and the upsurge of racism. |

| | Specifically, the republican party known as Sinn Féin was unquestionably bourgeois in nature. | | | Irish republicanism just prior to the 1916 Easter Rising consisted of a bourgeois movement of professionals and intellectuals that blended romantic notions of Gaelic Ireland with traditional rhetoric opposing British rule. | | | The war with Germany had ended on 11 November 1918, and on 25 November the British Parliament was dissolved, with a general election to be held on 14 December. |

| | One way that the Republican and Republican Socialist movements were able to revive the mass movement and rebuild morale was to focus on the struggle in the prisons. | | | The Irish Republican Socialist Committee of North America is the only organization sanctioned by the I.R.S.P. to represent the interests of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement in Canada and the U.S.. | | | In the 1918 parliamentary elections the Irish republican political party, Sinn Féin ("Ourselves Alone") ran a slate on a platform to abstain from the British Parliament, and instead form a provisional Irish parliament. |

| | Alexander Billet: Irish Republicanism at the Crossroads |
| | The Sinn Fein president is coming under increasing pressure to separate from the Irish Republican Army after the killing of Robert McCartney, a Catholic father of two from Derry, which involved senior members of the IRA. | | | Any time there was opposition from the republican side, they were ignored. | | | The discrimination against Catholics can only be seen as a divide and rule strategy, and republicanism, because it seeks to improve Catholics second-class status, presents a threat to that order. |
