For God’s sake, if any country should know what it means to be ruled by tyranny, it’d be the Irish.
The very idea of erecting a statue or in any way commemorating a communist thug like Guevara is repulsive.
Don’t get stupid, Ireland.
A lot of Irish stupidly sympathize with these commies and terrorists, because they were “brothers in arms” back during the IRA days.
For God’s sake, if any country should know what it means to be ruled by tyranny, it’d be the Irish.”
Well, blaming everything, all the time, on the British, is something very different from having a philosophy of liberty.
The Irish are basically a nation and race of begrudgers. They begrudge success, they mock initiative, they make fun of ambition, they belittle anyone who they see as too big for their boots. Envy and sloth are the main virtues of the Irish. (Though they do have sharp wits to help express it).
Che, of course, promises the “have nots” that they rich got rich on the backs of the poor, and that the poor have only the rich to blame for their plight.
So, while sure, the Irish have tasted tyranny, a thousand years from now, they are still going to be hoping for “Che” to bring them prosperity and they are still going to be blaming the British for everything....
