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."

My family never understood how I could eat so much in the morning but I'm usually up well before I'm and get out of bed on time and hungry. In truth I can't eat much either when I just wake up
Yeah I don't really eat a solid meal for four to six hours after I wake up. I just start the day with a few cups of hot broth.
Broth is good so good, I've been making some these past days from some boxes I got from the dollar store. I usually eat it during dinner to fill myself up with my usual meal tho instead of breakfast but I did rely on it when I was trying to fast.
What I've been doing is cooking a package of instant ramen, draining the noodles to save for later that night to fry with veggies, and just having the broth for breakfast.
I wake up pretty late so usually I eat my first non oatmeal aro8nd 2pm
I usually go for 9 am non oatmeal food but that's because I'm up at 3 usually and oatmeal at 4.
I go to bed at 3
Im at work at 7pm. Im a cook, I work evenings. Im usually out around 9 or 10 depending on the day and start between 1 and 3 depending on the day.
