O’Gorman’s antipathy to nationalism was probably responsible for his failure to formally join the ISRP, though he was helpful and spoke at an ISRP Paris Commune commemoration in 1899. Anarchism, however, had diminished as a political current in Dublin by the mid-1890s, partly owing to the departure of activists such as Michael Gabriel. The 1891 British census indicates that Gabriel had moved back to London by then. Another Dublin-based anarchist and Socialist League member, the Frenchman Auguste Coulon, also surfaced in London, where he was exposed in 1892 as a bomb-maker, advocate of terrorism and agent provocateur for the police.'THATS NOT MY NAMA!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01011387767076466968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829063993856494315.post-58863160800385430342009-07-31T14:28:05.958-07:002009-07-31T14:28:05.958-07:00Comrade great post but as I get server busy every ...Comrade great post but as I get server busy every time I try an access IR.net I presume I'm no longer on.. ah well.. a bit of history for you.. See any WSM parallels the second time as farce.. 'Michael Gabriel, an anarchist, settled in Bayview Avenue off the North Strand, and in June 1885 began to distribute Socialist League leaflets and the group’s newspaper, The Commonweal. Gabriel was a 27-year-old lithographic artist from Middlesex (his father John had also been an artist), and it is likely that he moved to Dublin to work with the socialist Fritz Schumann, who operated a small lithographic print business in the city. Copenhagen-born Schumann (1843–1910) was a talented lithographic artist and designer; christened Claus Friedrich Schümann, he was a trade union and socialist activist in Denmark and England before coming to Ireland, and later was active politically in the United States. Max Nettlau, the prominent anarchist historian, met Schumann in Dublin in 1888 and believed him to be an anarchist, though at that time the demarcation between anarchism and Marxism was not always clear.'<br /><br />http://www.historyireland.com//volumes/volume16/issue2/features/?id=114438 http://www.youtube.com/user/2birdsswimming# some more clips of HarveyTHATS NOT MY NAMA!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01011387767076466968noreply@blogger.com
