No I am not going to suggest we commemorate with an Anniversary march to London, my belief is that hence yes! lets be 'Internationalists' and have workers and Peoples Solidarity but then lets fight our Socialist Struggle here in Wales with first Welsh Red Resistence to Tory 'Colonial Cuts' Acts of Agression. Then lets have a Welsh 'RED REVOLUTION', symbolic barriacdes aka protests and demonstrations! but the real Red Revolution will be in making the Welsh Assembly a 'RED ASSEMBLY' of Progessive Left and Radical Republicans. Any 'Left of Centre' Welsh Political Nationalists should now leave Plaid Cymru and join in helping to build the RED RESISTENCE and RED REVOLUTION, another way of putting it is RED RESISTENCE TODAY! and RED REVOLUTION TOMORROW!
