Loyalist Positions Ulster Loyalism can be an elusive phenomenon to define in terms of political philosophy. How exactly it differs ideologically from conventional unionism is not clear?

Pedro Albizu Campos: El Feniano Impenitente de Latinoamerica Aoife Rivera Serrano On the 14th of June, Cuba celebrated the 75th anniversary of Ernesto Che Guevara's birth. Remembered by Castro as a symbol of revolutionary virtues, sacrifice and internationalism... the bearded Argentinean continues to be the symbol of revolutionary protest around the world, and holds a special place in the minds of many Irish Republicans. In a 1969 interview Che's father, Ernest Guevara Lynch, spoke of his son's revolutionary instincts: ...in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels... The father referred to Ireland's Lynches, one of the famous 14 Tribes of Galway. Ireland, understandably, wants to claim Che Guevara as one of her sons. Yet he was completely a son of Latin America by birth and predilection, and most importantly, the revolutionary heir of the great Latin American Fenian, Pedro Albizu Campos, a native of Puerto Rico.
