struggle for political rights, embarking on a hunger strike that would
tragically end with their deaths. Gerry Ruddy of the Irish Republican
Socialist Party has sent us an excellent and intimate analysis of those
events, highlighting the need to build a revolutionary movement based
on Marxism and rooted in the working class across all boundaries. Read the article on the Socialist Appeal website.
