Republican Socialism

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The label "Republican Socialist" has been widely used, but the article provides no evidence to support the claim that it is a distinct ideology. A reading of James Connolly et al might provide some underpinning to support an article on the subject, but this disorganised stub contains so little material that it is not worth keeping even as a starting point. I suggest deletion without prejudice to recreation if someone wants to try writing a proper article on the subject.

 * I have no objection to someone writing a decent article on the subject, even a decent stub, so long as it is properly sourced and offers some evidence that the concept of "republican socialism" is as claimed an ideology rather than just a label used by several groups with varying degrees of similarity.

 * Weak delete. For the Irish version we have much better articles at Irish Republican Socialist Party and Irish Republican Socialist Movement. The history of the term suggests greater importance in early socialism (prior to 1848, say), when nascent socialist movements found themselves opposed to bourgeois republican movements who wanted to get rid of the monarchies but not so much redistribute the wealth. Also, the term has US modern uses that are akin to corporate welfare. I think this is an unnecessary and potentially misleading article. --Dhartung | Talk 21:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
