Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Is remembering the list the long long list of Libertarians those who preached practised and promoted Libertarian, non Authoritarian and Anarchistic solutions to the Russian people's problems.
understanding where the Russian Revolution failed, thus is is learning that the long long list of Dead revolutionaries was a list of Dead Anarchists.
And that the Leninists and their succesors the Stalinists killed them, and with them the hope of Liberty.

Spailpin fanach
is a poem of the 18th century Irish Gaelic canon, it is anonymous and deals with the plight of migrant and dispossessed workers.
Go deo deo aris ni raghad go Caiseal,
Ag diol no ag reic mo shlainte,
Na ar mhargadh na saoire im shui cois balla,
Im scaoinse ar leataoibh sraide,
Bodairi na tire at tiochta ar a gcapaill,
Da fhiafrai an bhfuilim hiralta,
O! teanam chun siuil, ta an cursa fada,
Seo ar siul an Spailpin Fanach,
These lines might be translated as:
Never, never again will I go to Cashel,
Selling myself to the hired out,
Nor to the hiring fair, seated by the wall,
Or lounging on the side of the street.
The churls of the countryside coming on their horses,
Asking if I am hired;
O let us get going the road is long,
And off goes the Spailpin Fanach.
the poet continues to tell of France...
Ach ni fheicfear corran im laimh chun bainte,
Suiste na feac beag ramhainne,
Ach colours na Frainc os cionn mo leabthan,
Agus pice agam chun saite.
Never more will be seen a hook in my hand of reaping,
A flail or a small-handled spade,
But the colours of France above my bed,
And a pike for fighting.

iosaf, do you think the spalpin was mistaken putting on the colours of France? Wasn't Robspierre a murderer too ?And Saint Juste ,what about him ? Hadn't any dream of liberty been already crushed by the time the spalpin was sharpening his scythe.

you said:
We take the extra house from the rich man that he doesn't need and we give it to the poor.
I had a house.
You came you called me comrade,
you said:
We open the doors of the ballet so everyone can go.
I lived too far away.
You came you called me comrade,
you said:
You have two chickens, we take one chicken to give it the poor. I starved. And you comrade, you didn't know anything about chickens.
Re: "the flag of France over my bed..."...The poet mentions the "bodairi na tire..." = "The churls of the country"...this refs to the English landowners or their agents who rode by looking down arrogantly from their saddles on the poor peasanrs seeking work...The ref to France infers that he wanted to join the enemy armies fighting against England- indirectly striking a blow against those occupying his country like locusts, battening on the common people.
Re: Ref to Hiring Fairs "in Limerick"....This can't be correct because the 'Caiseal' (ie: Cashel) the poet refs to is in County Tipperary.
