1.) Fiery socio-political opinions; severe distaste for the wealthy and powerful
2.) Mustaches.
Despite these commonalities, there remains a stark contrast between the two:
1.) Guy Fawkes' extreme opinion actually led him to do something far more productive and memorable than occupy some street with a picket sign.
2.) He looked good in a mustache.

Remember remember
The 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason
The gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
The funny thing about Fawkes' association with anarchy is that he wasn't an anarchist at all-- he was trying to disestablish the Church of England and re-establish the Catholic Church.
