The IRA are a bunch of Marxists today who smuggle drugs in Ireland.
:hmm: Kinda makes sense if you think about it, since you need to be on drugs to believe communism could work.

I thought the IRA were Catholic's who wanted to have a United Catholic Ireland. Were they also commies?

They're a far-left organisation. Apparently in the 60s they turned Marxist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_ ... o_the_left), but not sure to what extent they still identify with those ideas today. Some Irish ppl told me the IRA still are Marxist and they deal in drugs.
Considering the kinds of causes they support (Palestinian, Basque separatist), it's the kind of stuff you'd read about in the Guardian.

it is always a very strange thing - your answer to the OP question, and the sidetrack it has taken, after only 3 pages ;) hillarious

Tfw chatting with a boomer who was affiliated with the IRA back in the day, and he said he was part of the Marxist-side.

@Amsel_ You could say they had an excuse to be Marxists still in the 60s, since communism hadn't shown its most gruesome side yet (or there wasn't full disclosure and recognition of the extent of human destruction it caused).
But if someone is still a communist after finding out about how badly that system failed in Eastern Europe (and elsewhere), then nothing would convince them except going through that failure themselves.
Some people will fight you tooth and claw for their chance to repeat your mistakes.

These people haven't even read their ideologues. Lenin, for example, believed communism in Europe was doomed if the German proletariat didn't start a revolution. And that's exactly what happened. Lenin was actually a very realistic ideologue, compared to today's communists.
