How do they square the circle of Great Britain being the first major capitalist country that did not exactly respect these freedoms for Ireland? Or do you mean "Northern Ireland" by "north of Ireland"? ...in which case, never mind.
yeah, people who don't recognise northern ireland as a legitimate state refer to it as the north of ireland, i can see how that can be confusing though (some people say 'occupied six counties' instead lol)
but even in the south people don't really associate british imperialism with capitalism, ireland is unfortunately a lot more reactionary than its history would imply
