Those fighting imperialists have to deal with realities not a dream

Comrade, those living in a dream world are Sinn Feiners who believe that
somehow they now hold the upper hand. As I said during a previous exchange, 
there
are other forms of struggle between armed struggle and the de facto acceptance
of Partition and British rule. Sinn Fein, through this process, have
degenerated into reformists, more concerned with drawing support and votes away 
from
the SDLP and solidifying their position as a mainstream political party than a
revolutionary movement to end Partition.

The failure of that strategy and the evidence of their degeneration is
irrefutable. It came in the shape of Ian Paisley and British continued 
acquiesence
to the Unionist veto.
