1) An Independent WORKERS REPUBLIC of SCOTLAND 2) WORKER'S CONTROL OF INDUSTRY 3) A non-aligned NUCLEAR FREE SCOTLAND
We support the legitimate right of the Scottish people to National Self Determination. However, we believe that 'Independence' alone, as advocated by the SNP, is not enough. With 'Independence' the Scottish Saltire flag may well fly in place of the 'Butcher's Apron' (Union Jack), but big business would still rule Scotland and the Scottish people.
Many other countries, particularly in the 'Third World' have achieved so-called 'Independence' but the working class are still oppressed by big business and exploiting multi-nationals . In India for example, millions live in appalling conditions in the slums of Bombay, etc. What good will all the 'Independence' rhetoric do for these people without the achievement of socialism and Independence for the working class?
For the working class a truly Free Scotland must mean a Workers Republic! There will never be peace with Capitalism and Imperialism. All over the world the oppressed are fighting back. From the slums of occupied Palestine to Turkey and beyond, the oppressed are challenging the status quo and the new world order of Bush and his poodle Blair. British Capitalists and money men are up to their necks in Imperial blood. We stand unashamedly with our struggling brothers and sisters around the globe in the struggle for National Liberation and Socialism. Together the people must triumph or let greed destroy the planet.
It is useless talking to the likes of Blair and Bush and their flunkeys in Edinburgh. The achievement of social justice and the Scottish Socialist Republic will only come about through struggle from below. If you want 'Peace', work for Justice. If you want justice join the fight for freedom.
