Hugh MacDiarmid, the pen name of Christopher Murray Grieve, was a Marxist-Leninist, Anglophobic Scottish supremacist. Described by some as a "poet", MacDiarmid was known for his anti-English writings. Hugh MacDiarmid also had Nazi and fascist sympathies, wished for Nazi Germany to win World War II (1939-1945) and believed that Scotland would be better off under Nazi rule than in the United Kingdom.[1]
In the 1945 UK general election, MacDiarmid was a failed candidate for the Scottish National Party, itself known for its links to Nazism.
