With all respect to brother Connolly, would "us" include women? Africans, native Americans, all colonialism's victims?
What was taken from Ireland mostly was Irish working people used as slave lab...
@nprofile1q... Good question. I don't know Connolly's history well enough to answer that. However, he was a cofounder of the IWW, and that union was very much a fighter for the rights of all workers, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or national origin.
