The Struggle Site
![]()
For the first decade or so of the web the struggle site provided a home for pages concerned with the struggle for freedom. This included social struggles in Ireland; the Zapatistas, Irish history, anarchist theory and history, globalisation and many others. In 2004 there were over 5,000 documents and images on this site. What people say about this website Archive site
The functionality proved by struggle was replaced by indymedia and sites like Anarkismo.net. So this site is now mostly an archive with new additions limited to stuff that other sites are not suitable for. There are thousands of documents here and hundreds of photographs as well as a few still maintained sections. My intention is to maintain the site into the future principally as an archive and reference.

Irish anarchist organisation
Struggle was a collection of web pages put up on a voluntary basis for a variety of Irish struggles the web maintainer wass connected to and for Irish and international anarchist groups. It is not intended to imply any relationship between any of the organisations whom I have provided space for on this page (outside of the fact that by putting up pages for them I obviously consider them worth supporting).
The graphic I'm using for the Struggle pages urges you to 'Agitate, Educate, Organise'. The Internet is a wonderful way of finding out information and making links but perhaps it is too easy to passively consume. Hopefully these pages will encourage you to Agitate, Educate, Organise in the district and/or workplace in which you live. My thanks to the Pierre J. Proudhon Memorial Computer for providing space for these pages.
