We, At Least, Are Not Loyal Men:

The Irish Republic Must Be Made A Word To Conjure With - A Rallying Point For The Disaffected, A Haven For The Oppressed, A Point Of Departure For The Socialist, Enthusiastic In The Cause Of Human Freedom.

We Believe In Constitutional Action In Normal Times; We Believe In Revolutionary Action In Exceptional Times.

If You Remove The English Army To-morrow And Hoist The Green Flag Over Dublin Castle, Unless You Set About The Organisation Of The Socialist Republic Your Efforts Would Be In Vain.

Don't Be 'practical' In Politics. To Be Practical In That Sense Means That You Have Schooled Yourself To Think Along The Lines, And In The Grooves That Those Who Rob You Would Desire You To Think.

State Ownership And Control Is Not Necessarily Socialism - If It Were, Then The Army, The Navy, The Police, The Judges, The Gaolers, The Informers, And The Hangmen, All Would All Be Socialist Functionaries, As They Are State Officials - But The Ownership By The State Of All The Land And Materials For Labour, Combined With The Co-operative Control By The Workers Of Such Land And Materials, Would Be Socialism.
