Re: Nae state, nae class and nae cash

Well some people see the SSP as the blueprint for a broad socialist party in the South.

I wouldn't be too triumphant in your regionalism at the weakness of the left in Britain. If Tommy Boy ever did get in your gonna need strong workers movements else where to defend this North Sea Workers Paradise. If the SSP get in without substantial workers support in Britian, the best you will be looking at is a nightmare old labour government in Scotland which will incompotently run capitalism. If Tommy really does have a maximum (Revolutionary) program behind his minimum program (which is watery even compared to some Old Labour Manifestos) then without support else where - then Socialism in Scotland will degenerate with Tommy becoming a Kilt Wearing Joseph Stalin.

Unfortunately Tommy boy represents much with what is wrong with the left throughout Europe - he has implications far wider than Scotland.

Tommy probabily wants to leave small businesses alone so the tanning salons stay open - cant beat a Orange Skinned Leader of the workers to socialism.
