Max, you are right: Fawkes, who attempted tyrranicide, was no anarchist. He was responding to English state oppression of Catholics since the revolution of Henry VIII. BTW, how often do we need to point out that the independent November 5th fundraiser for Ron Paul was inspired by the movie V for Vendetta, and not the events of 1605? In any event, tyrannicide is always wrong, and counterproductive as well. There is a reason that we are counselled to return good for evil.
