I’ve always been fascinated by the Limerick Soviet, not by its failures or successes but by the energy and spirit in which it unfolded. Struggle, defiance, audacity and comradery demonstrated by ordinary citizens, united by a fierce civic pride. New print out next week.

#OTD 1919 14,000 workers in Limerick begin a General Strike Against British Militarism, that evolves into the Limerick Soviet. They're protesting against having to show a Military Pass on their way to & from work. For 2 weeks, workers’ reps control every aspect of city life 1/

#OtD 14 Apr 1919 in Limerick, Ireland, a general strike was declared in protest against the declaration by the British military of a ‘Special Militarised Zone' in the area. The general strike saw the creation of the short-lived Limerick Soviet.
