LAND & LIBERTY - THE VYRNWY CAMPAIGN TOWARDS A MUDIAD 'ZAPATISTA' CYMRU?

.
Increasingly Cymru/Wales is becoming via WAG and 'Devolution' under the influence and increasing control of a new Neo - Colonial 'Cymru/Wales Ruling Elite'. It is interesting that much under pinning such is a self serving so called 'Welsh Intelligensia', it is very instructive indeed as to the 'Brit Mind' of that 'Welsh Intelligentsia' central to which is a 'Welsh Establishment Intellectual Elite' which produces such literature, as example, an Illustrated booklet officially produced for higher schools; 'Terfysg a Phrotest' by Catrin Stevens, there are 20 section on the history of Revolt and protest from Owain Glyndwr to Popular Risings to 'Rock & Roll' , Welsh Language Struggle and Greenham Common. However, whilst 'Tan yn Llyn 1936 Three ' gets a place in this largelly 'Bourgeoisie Cultural Nationalist' presentation, as does 'Cofiwch Dreweryn' but with out mention of patriots as Owain Williams nor the 'Boys from Gwent'.
.
How far they will go in 'Taff Forelock Tugging' and bending to their 'Sais Masters' to uphold themselves as 'Y Crachach', our very own Cymric 'Noveau Riche' aka 'England's Client Tribe in Wales' is most illuminating. It is unfortunate that most 'Working Class' Welsh Nationalists, cannot see this. Not least the 'Patriotic Fringe Fantasists' that have become the post 'Devolution Debris' of an attempted but failed Alternative Welsh Nationalist Movement and Struggle, see link:

All rather sad and unfortunate for they? because they, these Patriotic 'Fringe Fantasists' are nought but the 'Cannon Fodder' of a Petite
Bourgeoisie 'Cultural Nationalism' or, even worse become the 'Taff Tools' of
the 'British Secret Police'. Either way if they don't wake up, wise up and possibly join with a new radical 'Adfywiad Goch' struggle could find themselves seriously on the wrong side and essentially 'Class Traitors' and 'Enemies of the People, communities and country'. The stupity or deliberate ways and means by which a number of 'Super Knee Jerking Patriots' carry on, particularly amongst the old & new 'Good Old Boys' is something we can do without but it seems it will never going away! This 'Patriotic fantasist Fringe' is best seen in their parading and posing at Patriotic Rallies as annually at a Rali Cilmeri, that has totally lost it's radical patriotic purpose to become a 'pale shadow' of it's past platform of Anti - English Crown and Investitures of English Princes of Wales purpose. Now such has become no more than a 'Parody of Patriotism', advanced today in particular by the pointless patriotic 'Facebook Fusiliers' of the 'grouplet' Balchder Cymru.
.
All of which turns me back to the days of, not the FWA and MAC but more to my brothers Welsh Socialist Vanguard, Ian Bones Class War and Cymru Goch I . Now more and more as each day passes and I re-politicise myself with all this focus on promoting a Land & Liberty Campaign, researching up information on radical struggles world wide I am fast coming to the oppinion that for starters any Language, Land and Liberty Campaign based on and around the Vyrnwy Land Sell Off Campaign must of most urgent nessessity go beyond the Welsh 'Rebecca Revolt' beloved by 'Cultural Nationalism' and needs instead to now look towards the worldwide 'Zapatista Movement' for inspiration and guidence, see link below:

Of course I do not mean in the Armed Revolutionary
way but,
more in seeking a new International philosophy,
theory and
practise of struggle, in rural Cymru in particular.
Worth some
consideration, yes! In any deliberations here
do also read the
excellent books on Social Struggles as
'BEFORE REBECCA'.

      1. Yes! Political Education and knowledge of popular struggles
        in history is needed but so is our own contemporary
        'Popular Struggle' and the campaign that such is founded on.
        So let the Vyrnwy Land Sale Issue Campaign be a platform
        for 'Adfywiad Agit - Prop Activism', not least a learning curve!
