Content

On 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:

Really good episode! Very helpful for me as I have found it hard to articulate how I’ve felt about Scottish independence - giving Nationalist + Euroskeptic voices here was fantastic. One thing I felt would be interesting to ask the two is why they feel that many in the British political establishment (outside Scotland and in London) really, really love Nicola Sturgeon? Could just be the pro-EU agenda, but I feel that there’s something a bit deeper there

Not fair guys. America never had a good strong dictator like Vargas to ethnically cleanse our immigrants so now we all identify with Il gattopardo because our surname appears in the book.

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
