This!
It always cracks me up how these leftist/anarchist kids have come to admire Guy Fawkes as some sort of freedom fighter, when he was simply trying to establish a Catholic Theocracy in England.
If they think about it at all, they think they're supporting his pro-blow up parliament and the monarch policy, while turning a blind eye to his substitute a different other monarch and parliament policy.Quote:

To me, Nov 5th is not about left or right, or even necessarily about fireworks. To me, Guy Fawkes represents the spirit of dissent and revolution, and that is something that I will remember, remember.
Tell me again why we should celebrate England almost becoming a Theocracy by force? How exactly does that line up with free or libertarian ideals?
It has nothing to do with libertarian ideals. Does that answer your question?Quote:
