The European Left's candidate for the European Commission presidency, Alexis Tsipras, Friday called for the immediate release of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams who is been held for questioning in connection with the 1972 murder of Jean McConville. Tsipras called the arrest a "politically inflammatory act against democracy".

I have no sympathy for any of Western Europe actually. They’ve allowed the EU to disregard democratic votes. They’ve allowed Muslims to immigrate to their countries and impose their ridiculous speech restrictions. Western Europe is decaying at a faster rate than the US.

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

Must’ve been quite short supply. Bobby Sands, a Provo, was quite Marxist, and declared that his independent Ireland should be a “socialist republic”.

[SunkenCiv]

A short supply of... ?

[Olog-hai]

Non-Marxists. Were the others Fabians?

[Jacob Kell]

My guess is that the non-Marxists in the Provos must still be pretty Left wing.

[SunkenCiv]

Definitely.

[Olog-hai]

If they’re “non-Marxists”, then they’re national socialists.
