Were Dev and MC known for their socialist views? Are you not rather thinking of James Connolly?

I don't know! Sheesh I can just about manage to tie my shoe laces let alone know the political views of Collins and De Valera!

Politics, psssh. A true leader will not be a politician!

In all fairness you can't refer to both in one post as one tried to stop a free state and the other supported the Nazis

Hmm. I expected this to go a whole other way, i.e. rolling in their graves to see how the Republic of Ireland has been turned into a bad joke where the rich sit pretty and the poor struggle.

Now I think they both set the country down a completely false and unrealistic path from 1921, and that most people were kept ignorant so they wouldn't know the difference.

And still are kept very ignorant ... for all the computers that surround us:
