Pat Stack is a long time socialist activist and writer. Originally from Ireland, he has spent his adult life in Britain. He was for a number of years deputy editor of the Socialist Review magazine, and a regular columnist. He has also written for a variety of publications and websites.
Drawing on Irish revolutionary, James Connolly’s writings, Pat Stack explains that the Queen’s death is a reminder that the monarchy is a continued symbol of one class’s right to rule, only by birth, over another.
