Back issue: Out of the ashes
Not such a big surprise after all, eh?
One paper, one message, the harnessing of republicanism in thirty two counties behind our independence and socialist struggle, and our statement, at long last, that we the oppressed people of Belfast, Derry and Ballymun, of Wexford, Cork, Limerick and Galway, that we the nationally dispossessed, the country rebels of Crossmaglen and Tyrone, the poor, the unemployed and the underpaid are in the business of achieving power and establishing a real democracy.
Fianna Fail, the ``republican'' jokers, take fright. Our deadly seriousness should annoy you from now on.
The aims of 1916, the struggle of Pearse, Connolly, Markievicz and Mellows, which Fianna Fail sold out, the stories of our mothers, fathers and uncles about the 30s, 40s and 50s, the thinking of the living Marie Comerford and Nora-Connolly O'Brien, which all coincide with our recent experiences of hardship and oppression, and the ashes of `69, inspire us to republican revolution.
