With a POD after WWII, have a majority of the IRA adopt Marxist or Maoist philosophy, while remaining in conflict with the RUC and British. Basically, I want the OIRA to come out over the PIRA.
You'd need an earlier PoD, one that prevents Marxism from coming out on top in the first place. Otherwise you can't have an Atheist guerilla organisation playing a major part in a sectarian conflict.
Yeah, there was a marxist splinter IRA.
The problem here is we're answering a question greater than WI the IRA was Marxist. We're asking how could a marxist insurgency work in a developed western country. That is a hard question.
