The electronic Starry Plough: The Enationalism of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement (IRSM)
First Monday, 2001Co-Authors: Michael DartnellAbstract:This paper takes the case of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement (IRSM) as the point of departure to discuss how insurgent political Movement use Web communications. From mirror sites in Ireland and North America, IRSM supporters regularly use Web technology to relay the group message to a global audience at http://www.irsm.org/irsm.html. The resulting direct media contact gives the IRSM unprecedented access to global civil society. By referring to the IRSM Web site, the types of messages transmitted, the forms of transmission (text, video, audio, e-mail or other), and target audiences (national, global, political elites, media), this paper outlines some of the issues and challenges posed by Web-based anti-government media. The Internet and the Web do not constitute a threat to state power as some analysts suggest but at the same time they significantly alter political communication. The IRSM is a case of "enationalism", that is, the representation of a place as home to a specific group of people. Unlike traditional nationalism, enationalism is not tied to physical space or territory, but to representation of a network of relations based on a common language, historical experience, religion and/or culture. It is about both memory and future projection of a place as the home for a given group. In this light, new media will likely co-exist with other forms of political communication for some time.

A Third Kind of Marxism: Colin McKay, Socialist Political Economy and the Great Depression
Studies in Political Economy, 1998Co-Authors: Ian MckayAbstract:The Canadian Socialist Movement has a more varied intellectual history than many contemporary Socialists believe. Although it is often presented in caricatured, stereotypical terms as a series of epic battles between good and evil (the "democratic left" against the "totalitarian Communists;" the "true Marxists" against the "revisionists;" the "revolutionaries" against the "reformers," etc.), the history of the Canadian Socialist Movement would be much more interesting and useful if these dichotomies were retired (or, at the very least, used more cautiously and critically).

three represents and the third road in the contemporary era seek common ground while putting aside differences in the Socialist Movement in the contemporary era
Journal of Dalian University, 2005Co-Authors: Jiang ZhongcaiAbstract:Since the breakup of “the Second International”, the international Socialist Movement has been divided into two chief groups of Scientific Socialism and Democratic Socialism. “Three Represents” represents socialism with Chinese characteristics that is the modern form of the former while the modern form of the latter represented by “the Third Road”. It really matters for them to emancipate the mind, seek truth from the facts and advance with the times so that they can forget all about their past unpleasantness, learn about each other's pattern and see common ground while putting aside differences, for it is related to the future of the world Socialist Movement, and what's more, to the future of human beings. In order to seek common ground while putting aside differences, “the big common ground” of “socialism” must be sought while “the big difference” of “Democracy” and “Dictatorship” must be put aside.

NARRATIVES OF DECLINE IN THE DUTCH NATIONAL Socialist Movement, 1931–1945
The Historical Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Nathaniël KunkelerAbstract:AbstractGeneric fascism scholarship, which has turned strongly towards cultural political history in recent years, has focused heavily on themes of rebirth in fascist culture, but rebirth's counterpart of decline remains under-researched. After emphasizing the existence of several distinct and even mutually exclusive ideological strands in the NSB, this article shows how ideological difference was marked by narratives of decline. But they were equally used to generate a coherent political message about the contemporary state of the Netherlands. Central to their functionality as a unifying tool was party newspaper Volk en Vaderland, which served to promote a patriotic, news-focused, and peculiarly Dutch narrative of decline that overarched ideological difference. Yet more than just tying ends together, one narrative in particular served as a crucial ideological constant in the Movement, namely the Leider Anton Mussert's narrative of decline since the early modern Golden Age of the Dutch Republic, which tied traditional liberal patriotic themes into fascist discourse. Where other historians have emphasized Mussert's lack of moral and ideological leadership, the article impresses how narratives of decline functioned as moral support, and rallied NSB loyalists throughout the German occupation of the Netherlands, until Mussert's own death.
