We support the legitimate right of the Scottish people to national self determination. However, we believe that:

'Independence' alone, as advocated by the Scottish National Party, is not enough. With 'Independence" the Scottish Saltire may well fly in place of the Butchers Apron (the 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 foreign multinationals. In India, for example, millions live in appalling conditions in the slums of Bombay. What good will all the 'Independence' rhetoric do for these people without the achievement of socialism?

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 people are fighting back. From the slums of Occupied Ireland to racist South Africa the oppressed are challenging the status quo. British capitalists and moneymen are up to their necks in African blood. It is our duty as human beings to support our struggling African brothers and sisters. There it is bare fists against tanks but sooner of later, with more firepower, the people will triumph.

It is no use talking to the likes of Major or Smith. Getting elected to the Imperial British Parliament will NOT bring about a Scottish Republic. The achievement of social justice will only come through struggle from below. If you want 'Peace', work for justice.
