/181/ Juche in North Britain? ft. Cat Boyd & David Jamieson
Added 2021-03-16 07:00:02 +0000 UTCOn the socialist case for Scottish independence.
David Jamieson and Cat Boyd, writers and hosts of Conter, the Scottish anti-capitalist website and podcast, join us to to talk about the prospects for Scottish independence in advance of the Scottish parliamentary elections in May. Would an independent Scotland within the EU be a contradiction in term? How would an independent Scotland fare - and what would it mean for the "national question" across Europe? And what's up with the factional strife among Scottish nationalists?
Readings:
- Contercast, podcast hosted by Cat & David
- Independence Beyond Salmond and Sturgeon, David Jamieson, Conter
- The Origins of Scottish Nationhood, Neil Davidson, Pluto Press
Comments
Interesting that the coalition behind independence in Scotland seems to have the same composition as the classic 19th century European nationalist movements - an alliance of the national bourgeoisie and a weak working class. And it seems to lead to the same kinds of conflict between the two groups, with «official» representation monopolised by the bourgeoisie
