Bring on the Scottish Workers Republic!

Today let us look at the Internet based organisation The Scottish Socialist Freedom Group (SSFG) and what we represent. The SSFG has been in existence for around two years promoting the most genuine beliefs in Republican Socialism. In more recent times we have set up a Yahoo news & discussion group.

With a small membership our political belief's are clear. Our minimum demand is a Scottish Republic and our maximum goal is a truly Independent Scottish Workers Republic. We support debate using the tool of the Internet to get our message across.

In the community we seek active solidarity for political prisoners and International "left wing socialist" struggle. Unlike any other movement who claim to be Scottish Republican Socialist we reject the idea that the parliamentary model or constitutional nationalism will deliver true Socialist Freedom for the Scottish people. In short the reformists who have taken to supporting the SNP have abandoned the socialist struggle for a Scottish Workers Republic.

Alternatively the SSFG set up a website to present a layout from support for Solidarity Scotland's Socialist Movement to setting out our Scottish Marxist principles. unlike others we believe in Scottish independence that begins with a Republic and end's with a Scottish Workers Republic. Changing the flag from buthcher's apron to Saltire alone is meaningless for workers without any attempt to bring about a social system to serve need instead of greed.

We do see Solidarity as the platform at present to build the Socialist Movement in Scotland and view those who support the SNP to build a fair society are like flying a kite in a tornado. You go round and round and everywhere and get nowhere.

A referendum for Scottish independence is only significant where we can secure a Scottish Republic. However to lend support to any type of referendum on independence is not the wrong thing to do. Even a referendum that is drawn up by reformists in constitutional nationalism will throw a spanner in the works and create some panic for unionists in the future.

Significantly with costitutional change must come revolutionary change. Without public control of our banking and financial institutions and widespread radical & revolutionary change to the capitalist system then independence alone is worthless. Independence should mean an end to the queen and her crown powers in Scotland and the formation of a true accountable state in a Scottish Republic.

The SSFG seeks like minded individuals to promote real change for Scotland and struggle for a Scottish Socialist Workers Republic. The SSFG can now be found on bebo
and anywhere ideas and positive ideas for change can be encouraged on the Internet.
