Hello Chums!
I'm starting the process for my alternate Ireland story: Syndicalist Ireland! I have a start on sources about social revolution in Ireland (the last big shot at that in the timeframe I'm looking at was the IRA-Civil war, in the form of the Anti-Treatyites largely having the support of the leftist factions in general, and before that the 1916 Rising led by James Connolly). Another possible point of diversion is the lock-out of 1913 kicking off an early--and protracted, pre-WWI--Irish war of independence lead by Connolly, Larkin etc. I have a long list of ideas--probably starting my story in 1940, with Syndicalist Ireland being a key ally of the CNT-FAI in Barcelona--allowing them to beat off the fascists and Stalinists.
I'm just wondering how to get there, you know?
Here are my sources so far:
