What is ironic is that Guevara, despite his mother's maternal Irish surname, has minimal Irish ancestry. His Lynch ancestor arrived in what would become Argentina in the 1740s, and married into local Spanish families, as did his children and descendants. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Jimmy Carter have more claim to Irish ancestry than did Guevara.

Socialism is hardly new there; when the Western democracies aligned with England, Irish nationalists were forced to look elsewhere for aid. Ho Chi Minh did the same, for the exact same reason. The US passed laws in the early 20th century to head off communism; the government understood the threat. To this day, much of the world celebrates “labor day” as a commemoration of the Haymarket Square bombings, while we celebrate it in September.

Irish republicanism has been left wing since Wolfe Tone, who talked Jacobin France into invading.
