Description
Excerpt from What Sinn Fein Stands For: The Irish Republican Movement; Its History, Aims and Ideals, Examined as to Their Significance to the World
My suggestions as to a detailed plan for a non-parliamentary constitution will seem to some far-fetched, and I have candidly stated that I have given speculation free rein. But not without reason. After all, an author who should in 1912 have written of a Europe in which Poland was a power and the German Empire a memory, would have been thought a fanatic or a fool. Yet, we have lived to see such a Europe brought about in a few short years. In 1912, Irish Republicans were laughed at as cranks in an attic To-day they have given England the gravest of her problems. History no longer trudges slowly. So, perhaps, the social ideals which I have described in my long social chapter may be brought to realisation sooner than the sceptic may anticipate.
