The IRA is a marxist group that gained much of its strength from Soviet support during the Cold War. It is similar in many ways to the ANC; the difference between Adams and Mandela is mostly context, whereby in Mandela's case, his opponents simply surrendered for no reason. Adams had to actually do some work to bring about change-- and in his defense, his influence has been at times respectable. Mandela is moderate in comparison to the ANC rank-and-file, but that doesn't make him very moderate.
