James Connolly Quote

Under a socialist system every nation will be the supreme arbiter of its own destinies, national and international; will be forced into no alliance against its will, but will have its independence guaranteed and its freedom respected by the enlightened self-interest of the socialist democracy of the world.

Samuel Levenson, "James Connolly" (Martin, Brian and O'Keeffe, London, 1973), p. 56.
