Cork Harbour Soviet (1921) - Novo General Megathread for the 5th-7th of September 2025
(hexbear.net)
the Cork Transport Workers' Union took possession of the Harbour Board's offices and assumed complete control of the local port, forming a workers' soviet until negotiations could be resolved.
The Cork Harbour Strike was a labor dispute that lasted from September 2nd to September 7th, 1921. It was the result of the refusal of the Cork Harbor Board to increase the wages of its workers to a minimum of 70s a week.
On September 6th, 1921, the Cork Transport Workers' Union took possession of the Harbour Board's offices and assumed complete control of the port.
According to the New York Times, "when the strikers took possession of the Harbour Board offices, they hoisted a red flag as a token of Soviet control and the strikers' leaders announced their intention of collecting dues from shipping agents and using them to pay members of the union."
The rebellion was short-lived, however, as negotiations between the Harbour Board and the strikers were reopened soon after, which came to a successful resolution. The revolt was not well-taken in the press.
The Irish Times wrote "To-day Irish Labour is permeated with a spirit of revolt against all the principles and conventions of ordered society. The country's lawless state in recent months is partly responsible for this sinister development, and the wild teachings of the Russian Revolution have fallen on willing ears."

:::spoiler oh no i get a text from my ex. she says she need more space. We shouldn't talk regularly. I hadnt been the one to reach out to her this weekend. She says "it's too painful to be my friend right now". Emotionally, i am gutted. This wasn't my decision. She broke up with me. and I wasn't even reaching out to be chummy. We're going to have a call later. I think the hammer drops.
if this is it between us, i dont know what to do. I dont know if it's worth the trouble of reminding her that she still loves me. If that's even remotely true anymore. I WAS giving her the space, she kept stepping out of it. She should know she can say one simple phrase and I'll come back to her, wrap my arms around her and hold her crying into my arms. I could promise a million times to resume the change both her and I want to see. I wish she could just tell me, cause it sees like there's always something more.
Seems like she is just trying to rationalize or otherwise dispense with her guilt. Grain of salt, etc.
If I were you I'd stop playing this game and let her know it's whatever (even though you aren't there yet).
i am at the point where it's her decision to be hurt like this
I'm so angry right now, I would still take her back because i am the greater fool
I cant focus
