'When the Hammer Turns Against the Sickle': Civil War Amongst The Republican Revolutionaries, The INLA vs The IPLO

The two socialist Republican paramilitary groups were the INLA, Irish National Liberation Army and the IPLO, the Irish People's Liberation Organization.These were two organisations who sought to fight against the colonial occupation of British Rule and free the working class of capitalistic dominance. However, instead of romantic struggle they would instead set their sights on each other. Former friends would become submerged in a murky world of criminality, revenge, sectarianism and cold-blooded murder. By the end of this feud, many would be dead and both organisations would be shadows of their former strength. So what led to such a bloody and violent feud?

I actually cannot stop listening to this podcast. The production, writing, and research are beautifully done and expertly delivered. I am so grateful to the creator of this show for their passion in prioritizing education on this topic in history as it is still so incredibly relevant today.

I grew up in America seeing the troubles on TV but not knowing much about it. I visited London in 1982 and there were warnings everywhere about unaccompanied packages, but I didn’t really understand the issues. This podcast gives logical history lesson and makes does a good job of simplifying a very complex situation and characters.
Excellent source of information
