Focusing on economic independence, James Connolly's work presents a revolutionary strategy for workers to reclaim industries from the ruling class. He argues that the subjugation of Ireland stems from the oppressed's financial dependence on their oppressors. By merging the concerns of the Irish Nation with the working class, Connolly envisions a policy fostering cooperation that can ignite self-determination. This synergy aims to inspire a renewed sense of freedom, optimism, and purpose among the Irish people.
