Why are there many admirers of Che Guevara in Ireland?

[Ruggery]

I have seen that many Irish people, especially the nationalists, are fans of Che Guevara and I am curious to know the reason, maybe because Che was anti-British or Or because Che Guevara was part Irish etc?

Curiously in Ireland there are also many socialists and communists, no other Anglo countries except maybe the USA see that.

That's even worse.

:confused: USA was and to a large extent still is the most anti-Communist and anti-Socialist nation on Earth. As for Ireland, Sinn Fein is pretty socialist, but the two traditional ruling parties, Fianna Gail and Fianna Foil, aren't really at all.

Also in Ireland there are not only anti-British people (which due to its hiistorical context I understand) I have also seen anti-US people when the US has not done anything to Ireland.

Sinn Fein wasn't the party that had IRA sympathizers?

Because (partly rightly and partly wrongly) they see the US as the imperial heirs to Britain.

In your opinion the Irish are more anti-British/american than the Scots?

In the past yes. Nowadays, not really, especially with the rise of the SNP.

Do you think that in the future Scotland will win the referendum to become independent? And if so, how much will it affect the UK without Scotland?

Possibly, and Scotland will itself be more affected than the rest of us.

Che Guevara's racist statements? I don't know, I don't know what the lgbt fans thought of what Che thought of them either.
