Revolutionary Struggle or RS logo and slogan (Íomhá: Dublin Opinion, via CHTM)
As always the Dublin history and culture blog Come Here To Me presents a fascinating if rarely discussed part of the capital’s political history with a short look at the late 1970s militant group Revolutionary Struggle (RS). Despite the name and unlike many on Ireland’s Far Left during the period (Workers Party, et al) the RS were committed socialist republicans who gained fame within certain circles for their provocative motto, “Nationalise the War!”. The culmination of their existence was probably the shooting of the British entrepreneur Geoffrey Armstrong during a lecture at Trinity College. Several suspected or former members went on to bigger and better things in the areas of politics, law, academia and journalism.
