Re: Scottish independence and the SSP

["Jim Drysdale" <jimd48@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard, I'll be happy to offer my observations.


The debate has been organised by a group that I'm part of, the Glasgow
Marxist Forum.
Alan McCombes is debating with a member of the GMF.

for information.....

Debate:  Should Socialists Campaign for Scottish Independence?

For:  Alan McCombes.
Against:  Sandy McBurney.

Venue: Partick Burgh Hall.
Thursday 20th June, 7.30pm.

GMF words....

* Is the campaign for ' An Independent Socialist Scotland' a means of
breaking up the British state
and attacking capitalism in areas where the left is strong or a product of
25 years of defeat of the organised
working class?

* Should socialists in Scotland play a part in organising the left in
England and Wales?

* The trade unions are organised across Britain, the state is passing power
to the European Union,
capitalism is globalising - how should socialists respond?

end of GMF words.

comradely,

Jim.
