An interesting anarchist account of radicalism in the 1970s via the Irish Republican Marxist History Project Alans not currently a member of WSM but was involved from our founding 30 years to a couple of years back, we look forward to seeing more of these interviews. This is the story of Alan MacSimoin a long-time Anarchist activist and founder member of the Workers Solidarity Movement. MacSimoin joined as a young man the Official Republican Movement (Sinn Fein) . Within a short time he was involved with the Irish Anti Apartheid Movement’s boycott of South African goods in Ireland. He was also active with the Irish Anti Nuclear Movement that stopped the building of five nuclear power stations around the coast of Ireland in the 1970s. Alan was central in the Murray Defence Committee in 1976-77 to stop the state execution of Anarchists Noel and Marie Murray for the killing of a member of the police.
