Happy Birthday John Throne

John Throne (Sean O' Torain) , was one of the founders of Facts For Working People

 

Many readers friends and comrades may be aware that John Throne, who many of you also know as Sean O' Torain, who was born on this day in 1944, died on September 8th 2019.  Sean was one of the co-founders of this blog and without him it would not have lasted as long as it has.  He was also one of my closest friends. It is a great loss to the working class not only of Sean's native Ireland but here in the US, and the world. He never relinquished his belief that the working class will struggle to change the world in which we live for the better and only the working class can not only end capitalism but also build a healthy democratic socialist world.

For readers that are interested in purchasing either one of his books you can do so by clicking on the link to the right of this blog or by going directly to it here. For young people interested in how he saw a socialist society there is a chapter in his second book, We'll Take a Cup of Kindness Yet that details his thoughts on this. Richard Mellor
