I've been doing a bit of reading on the IRA and its history, as well as the splinter groups that formed after the Good Friday agreement. One thing that struck me is that most, if not all, of these IRA spinoffs are filled to the brim with selfproclaimed Marxists and leftwingers.
Why hasn't there been a nominally right-wing organisation fighting for Irish sovereignty? Are the Irish the real kikes? Am I wrong to hate the English?
You are wrong to hate the English. However, the reason why the IRA were pro-Marxist is because of the costs associated with being an open nationalist and the benefits of nominally supporting Marxism. If you declare that you're a Nationalist, the world will unite to destroy you. If you claim you're a communist, you'll get free money from empty headed liberals who are too stupid to notice that you're a nationalist. But the drawback is that your organization attracts communists.
While you are studying the IRA, doubtless you have other organizations in mind to study. Nationalist organizations fighting what they view as a colonial power oppressing their rights. Most claim to support communism because doing so earns you more support from people besides your own ethnic group than not doing so.
Here is an example; Say you're a Basque and you're fighting for Basque Nationalism. If you leave it at that, non-Basques will probably not donate any money to you. But if you tack on some religious bullshit like communism that transcends race and nation, dumbass liberals will sometimes donate to you even if they're not part of your national group. I can explain in other ways if I am not being clear enough for you. There are other reasons but this is one of the biggest ones.

Interesting, thank you. So it's safe to assume that the number of marxist "true believers" is pretty slim? Even ones with political wings like the NIRA ?

So are you saying this board of peace should commit acts of terrorism?
Yes or No?

It depends on the splinter-group. Though sincerely Marxist organizations tend not to last very long or attract many dedicated but also competent individuals. You can accuse me of bias against Marxists and that's fair. I dislike Marxism. However I'm actually far less biased than many would expect on this board and I would challenge anyone who doubts this generality to actually study different terrorist organizations in depth and think a little bit more about their ideological motivations than seeing "communist" stuff and assuming they're dedicated Marxists. Few if any leaders of nominal Marxist groups are actual Marxists. They're just good salesmen.
Allow me to offer a quote from a world renounced expert on terrorism, Bruce Hoffman, on the subject of left-wing terrorist organizations; "Even when Left wing terrorists have attempted to conceptualize a concrete vision of the future, their efforts have rarely produced anything more lucid or edifying than verbose disquisitions espousing an idiosyncratic interpretation of Marxist doctrine." This fails to motivate many normal people to join and to fight for such an organization as Marxism is so alien a concept for most normal people. And again, before I am accused of bias, this passage follows Hoffman's equally brutal savaging of "Nazi" terrorist organizations. And his criticism is justified. But at the end of his book he concludes that Nationalist terrorist organizations are far more likely to "win" than leftist organizations.

Hoffman seems like an interesting read, do you know if its from a specific book?
Also, if the idea to proclain yourself "marxist" is only an attempt to market themselves to morons, then why havnt they dropped the act now that the only "real" marxist countries have long since collapsed? They cant possibly make that much money off individual donations, but on the other hand i dont actually know how much the IRA was sponsered by communist States.
