Wasn't he kind of the archetype for abortion clinic bombers, a Catholic extremist and member of the financial elite who thinks that destruction of property and concussive organ failure are legitimate forms of political protest?

but, no, see, he blew up parliment, that means he is an anti-establishment hero who everyone should worship with no real attention paid to his motives, the morality of his actions, or the obvious consequences

Yes but you miss the point, he entered parliament with honest intentions - to blow them up!
But, he was quite badass you must admit, and the fact that he tried to defeat a monarchy society deserves some props as well. All I know on bonfire and fireworks night, instead of desecrating his memory, I'm toasting it.

He wasn't trying to defeat monarchy. He was trying to blow up a democratic institution and restore an older monarchy.

Actually he was trying to destroy king james due to his broken promise to stop prosecuting the jesuits.

I'm not sure if I'm just missing the point or not, but his name was Guy Fawkes.
EDIT: nvm, apparently he was also known as Guido (thanks, Wikipedia!). Still doesn't make any sense to me.
