16 posts held, back to 21 January 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 12 May 2022. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 6 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
"The Labour Movement in Ireland stands for the ownership of all Ireland by all the Irish; it therefore fights against all things calculated to weaken the hold of the Irish upon Ireland, as it fights for all things calculated to strengthen the grasp of the Irish people upon Ireland and all things Irish."

Turns out I was wrong and these guys haven't been reading any Connolly. They just like the brand. They must only be squatting in a hostel which is earmarked to accommodate foreigners because there's a severe shortage of buildings which aren't. >"We proclaim the right of all people in Ireland to housing regardless of their nationality or ethnicity..." This is the government's position. That's why they want to hous…
"The chief enemy of a Celtic revival today is the crushing force of capitalism which irresistibly destroys all national or racial characteristics, and by sheer stress of its economic preponderance reduces a Galway or a Dublin, a Lithuania or a Warsaw to the level of a mere second-hand imitation of Manchester or Glasgow. In the words of Karl Marx, “Capitalism creates a world after its own image,” and the image of Cap…
Ireland needs to import more migrants from outside the EU says Adrian Cummins, CEO of the Restaurants Association of Ireland. Working conditions in the hospitality sector are dire so Cummins wants to bring in more foreigners who will tolerate it. As Alan McQuaid points out here, they're going to need healthcare, housing and crèche facilities or schooling if they bring kids with them among other things. Who gets tha…
"Men like Clarke and Connolly were intensely nationalistic and many think that Connolly was not so much but that's not true, I know that's not true, because he told me so." - Dev
“I am determined that my race shall not go the way of the Aztec and the Indian. I believe in the brotherhood of man, regardless of races, but I do not believe in extending that brotherhood to the point of eliminating myself voluntarily from the struggle for existence and turning over this country to my brothers of other races.” - Ernest Untermann Like Connolly, Untermann was a member of the Socialist Labour Party …
"It is hard to believe that any Socialist really thinks that the immigration question is serious enough to justify a Socialist in doing the dirty work of the capitalist class" - James Connolly #immigration #socialism
Seems like some socialists aren't overly fond of the progressive social projects so important to their blue-haired university allies. Wonder if they'll get over the last hurdle and realise that caring for you own People's needs above those of other's is perfectly natural, or is immigration the hill they are willing to die on? It's not an either/or choice between criticising capitalism or immigration - the real proble…
⬆️⬆️⬆️ Accurate and still as relevant today as it was when he wrote it, if not more so.
"I have long been of opinion that the Socialist movement elsewhere was to a great extent hampered by the presence in its ranks of faddists and cranks, who were in the movement, not for the cause of Socialism, but because they thought they saw in it a means of ventilating their theories on such questions as sex, religion, vaccination, vegetarianism, etc., and I believed that such ideas had or ought to have no place in…
Moment of clarity for party opposed to Irish nationalism.
Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @basedconnolly. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 6 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
