Poor deluded fools, the lot of them.  SF has done more to stabilise
capitalist relations in Ireland than any other party, just like ANC
did in South Africa.

It gave leeway to bourgeois political parties to contest power, not
the working class.  There's a huge gulf there.  Voting for SF
politicians is hardly the same thing as the self-organisation of the
working class.  I've been observing SF for years and I can't remember
the last time they seriously advocated the latter.
