So if the Official IRA were straight Marxists, were the Provos gay Marxists? Don’t forget that Bobby Sands was a Provo and thoroughly Marxist.

I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto, but it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom. I shall not settle until I achieve liberation of my country, until Ireland becomes a sovereign, independent socialist republic.

There were non-Marxists in the Provos, but the Officials were 100% Marxists.
