Connolly's history and his socialism

What did James Connolly contribute to politics in Ireland? A powerful myth, knitting together socialism and pre-1652 Gaelic-Irish society, defining socialism as the revival on a higher level of ancient Gaelic common property. Part of that myth was the idea that militant nationalism led to socialism and so was a way, perhaps, to reach the Protestant workers of north-east Ireland.
