Exactly. Please see my post on the Scottish National Liberation army and John Maclane above.
Other leftist nationalist European movements exist among the Welsh (Plaid Cymru), the Bretons, the Cornish(???!!!), the Basques, the Castilians (what the h---?), the Greeks (the Pan-Hellenic Socialist Movement) and probably the Manx as well.
Every nineteenth century nationalist movement, from Ireland to Armenia, was socialist. The "indigenous people" were oppressed by foreign devils who introduced foreign languages, religions, and economic systems (capitalism), and after the revolution the sacred mother soil would be ethnically purified, revert to the common ownership of the "children" who crawled out of her very bosom, and the indigenous religion (exempt from Marxian critique) restored.
The leftism of "the oppressed" is so different from the self-hating leftism of the West that one can legitimately ask if they are indeed the same ideology. In fact, I say they are not.
