Sean O'Casey (March 30, 1880 – September 18, 1964) was a renowned Irish dramatist known for his realistic portrayals of Dublin's working-class life and social conflicts. Born into a poor Protestant family, he experienced hardship early and engaged in labor and trade union activism. His major works include Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars, and The Silver Tassie. O'Casey's plays blend tragedy and comedy, reflecting the struggles of Irish independence and human nature. He later moved to England and continued writing until his death, leaving a lasting impact on 20th-century theater. more

“Education in democracy must be carried on within the Party so that members can understand the meaning of democratic life, the meaning of the relationship between democracy and centralism, and the way in which democratic centralism should be put into practice. Only in this way can we really extend democracy within the Party and at the same time avoid ultra-democracy and the laissez-faire that destroys discipline.”

“Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.”

“The correctness of any of our policies has always to be tested and is always being tested by the masses themselves. We ourselves constantly examine our own decisions and policies. We correct our mistakes whenever we find them. We draw conclusions from all positive and negative experiences and apply those conclusions as widely as possible. In these ways relations between the Communist party and the masses of the people are constantly being improved.”
