This is an interview I did with Tommy McKearney back in 2009. The British introduced internment in the north of Ireland in August 1971, the same day Tommy received his high school A-level results. He joined the Irish Republican Army, later becoming OC of the East Tyrone Brigade of the IRA. Captured, he served 16 years in prison, including being on the blanket protest, the dirty protest and the 1980 hunger strike. After his release in 1993, he became a prominent critic of the Provos shift to bourgeois nationalism. Tommy himself became a socialist writer and a key figure in the class struggle-oriented new Independent Workers Union. https://theirishrevolution.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/2009-interview-with-tommy-mckearney/ _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
