THE GREAT UNREST RED REMEMBRANCER CALENDER FOR 2015: dates that are our own and resonate with our spirit
Antonio Gramsci: "I await socialism for this reason too.
Because it will hurl into the trash all of these dates which have no resonance in our spirit and, if it creates others, they will at least be our own".
These are dates that are our own and resonate with our spirit
THE GREAT UNREST RED REMEMBRANCER CALENDER FOR 2015.
Introduction: The Great Unrest Group shall begin the new year as we mean to go on, with focus on 'Education To Be Free' via the web, events and activities as Saturday Schools, Field Trip Outings and Historical Plaque an Installation presentations.
Our history as a Year Zero starting point at 1282, at this point a semi - Independent Medieval Wales comes to an end as does the domination of Welsh Princes and Anglo - Norman Lords and English Kings. Increasingly hence we have an history of the people in Revolt, Insurrection and struggle lead by their own leaders and Movements.
This is the history we of the Great Unrest hence will be concerned with and not of 'Welsh Princes' but of the Welsh people themselves in struggle against all those who would make themselves Lords over the People and their Communities.
It is from this History we shall take interest and motivation for our struggles to day - Join us and help build a true struggle for land and liberty
