that Libertarians are choosing Guy Fawkes as the symbol of their movement. Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up Parliament so that he could replace the constitutional monarchy with a theocracy, centered on the Catholic church. I would also point out that things didn't go so well for Fawkes and his followers - the witch hunt following his arrest resulted in many executions.
