I met John Molyneux twice at his home in Dublin and at Marxism in Berlin in 2016, an encounter I will never forget since we had a chat about Easter 1916, the Irish revolution, republicanism and its limitations and degenerations, and the dialectics between leadership and base of a movement.. he raised the remarkable point, which really impressed me and helped me understanding the relation between revolutionary socialists and radical republicans in Ireland, when he told me he had repeatedly debates with Eamonn McCann about the character of that movement and he experienced RSF members being radical at the forefront together with comrades from PBP and others at common working class rallies, he called those more reliable and serious than working class members of liberal bourgeois sections of the party spectrum and clearly envisioned united front tactics instead of sidelining them. John certainly understood to bring people together in practical terms for a common struggle. You will be missed comrade!
