Scotland is not a nation - Referendum News
On 18th September 2014 the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide whether they will remain part of the Great British Nation.

Read "THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN SCOTLAND" here: http://www.lalkar.org/issues/contents/sep2012/scotland.html

It is undeniable that the Scots have a Scottish Culture and national consciousness - but it is our contention that the poeple of Scotland developed all the characteristics of nationhood in the late 18th and early 19th century - and precisely at that time elected to throw their lot in with the people of England and Wales to join in the creation of a British Nation.

The Scottish and English - British - ruling capitalist class cooperated fully in their quest for industrial development, conquering colonial markets and creaeting a fully fledged empire, characterised by the systematic export of capital, the exploitation and domination of millions of clonial peoples - from the Ireland to India, Egypt to South-Africa, the Americas and Australasia.

Rest assured, that the British monopoly capitalist class are not offering the dismemberment of their exploitative machine, or marauding armies. The State will not be broken by an independant Scotland as envisaged by the SNP, SSP, or any other member of this alliance.

These parties can win at best a little more personal influence and power. They will not bring the British people - be they English, Welsh or Scotch - one step closer to meaningful freedom. Rather they can achieve only the sowing of greater discord, and disorganisation, among British workers, with the diversion and false panacea of 'independence'.

The truth is that the only fight that can bring equality and justice to the working beople of Britain, is the fight against capitalism and for socialism - that must place decisoin-making power in the hands of workers.

What is urgently required is not more divisive nationalism, but the wide adoptio
