Here's a direct link to the article in Irish Socialist, No. 123: https://www.leftarchive.ie/document/view/3032/?page=3
From Irish Socialist, newspaper of the Communist Party of Ireland, in 1973:
"Béaloideas le Spailpín"
The article argues the derogatory use of spailpín arises from colonial English usage, and wage workers should see it as a noble term.
