David (Wales) can sometimes Win against Goliath ( British State) Marshall Ganz on Making Social Movements Matter

David (Wales) can sometimes Win against Goliath ( British State ). 

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr is about the Necessity of Welsh Social Movements.

Marshall Ganz and his lessons on organising social movements.

There are limits to Marshall Ganz's ideas in calling into account political movements and leaders but we are students and have yet to learn the Marshall Ganz basics.

We challenge Adam Price who is said to be influenced by Marshall Ganz's ideas to implement the social movement ideas of Marshall Ganz in Wales.

What Price an Independent Wales ! A Mirage or a Reality Check ?

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr says the Election of Adam Price as leader of Plaid Cymru on a programme that clearly spells out Independence by 2030 is to be welcomed - if only because Independence is no longer hidden but is asserted as central to Plaid Cymru and the Welsh National Movement, 

The programme of Adam Price has been put into seven steps and we will look at these closely.

1: Elect a pro-independence government for Wales in 2021. Plaid Cymru needs to be in government in 2021. It is only Plaid Cymru who can do the necessary nation-building to secure independence. 

2: Pass a Wales 2030 Referendum Act. We need a nation-wide debate on our future. By the end of the next decade, we will give the people of Wales a vote on self-determination. 

3: Set up a National Commission as part of the 2030 Process. Creating the new Wales is the work of the entire nation. The National Commission will oversee the 2030 Process and give Welsh citizens a say in what an independent Wales will look like. 

4: Be bold, radical, and visionary. We must act as if we are already independent. All we do must make Wales a healthier, fairer, more prosperous place to live. In 2026, we must win re-election. 

5: Reduce the gap between our income and our spending. We must show that we’re not too small for independence. By 2030, our fiscal gap can be sustainable and we’ll have proved that Wales is not too small to stand on her own two feet. 

6: Grow Wales’ economy. We need to improve Wales’ economic performance. This will improve the lives of the people of Wales and make our independence an attractive and realistic option.

7: Build a new Welsh media. Our nation needs a thriving media. A strong and diverse Welsh media is crucial to the national debate on our future. 

Our fundamental criticism of what we see above so far is that is still pure Plaid Cymru Electoralism the "Party of Power" not the party of Protest moving into action. 

It is clearly not yet the organization of social movements. 

We are aware that Adam Price was at the Harvard Kennedy School for Government and we are told he was influenced by the ideas of Marshall Ganz a believer in social movements and their organization - we challenge Adam Price to help organize social movements in Wales - it will be a test of his sincerity and commitment to an Independent Wales. 

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr since our inception in 2012 has argued and organised around the necessity of Welsh social movements underpinning and underlying any political movement. We have identified at least three social movements that are fundamental to proceed to Welsh Independence.

1. Banking/Money - we take the view that a Welsh Banking System is a necessary pre- requisite of any road to Welsh Independence - The absence of such a Welsh Banking System would make for token and not actual independence, it requires much more than just a re-branding of Finance for Wales as a Welsh Bank as advocated by Adam Price. 

2.Water - Welsh Water resources are ultimately controlled by the Secretary of State for Wales and are not under the sovereignty of the Welsh People - this valuable natural resource of "white gold" must be brought under the control of the Nation, 

3.Land - Welsh Land is one of the least discussed and most abused resources of the People of Wales even by the Welsh Assembly - a Welsh Land Commission should work toward at a minimum of one million acres of Welsh Land being returned to the People of Wales from the English Lords and Monarchy and UK Ministry of Defense and Forestry Commission which has appropriated them. 

We realize the immense amount of work that needs to be done to raise the level of Independence politics in Wales to the level of a real independence movement.

Being all things to all men and women the core of Electoralist Populist Politics lowers rather than raises the people's democratic abilities and powers. 

Which why we reject Populism which Adam Price finds attractive in his public utterances in favour of the hard work of mass movements and mass line that raises people up and does not demean them. 

In October 2016 at our First Welsh Socialist Republican Congress we called for an education campaign in Wales on the necessity of a Welsh Banking system and a Welsh Bank Act – we called for mass Movement on the Questions of Welsh Water and Land and Acts to protect our Welsh Resources.

A true understanding of these political questions will win people to support Welsh Independence - but work has to be done for people to come to that conclusion. 

We have to raise the level of political discourse not lower it. 

We have pointed out that Independence like the term Socialism have been emptied of their content by multiple misuse of these terms and mischievous opportunists exploit this fact especially the new brand of Welsh Fascists. 

We took the opportunity in our 2016 Congress to define what we mean by these terms – the loose use of these terms by Populists can make them mean all things to all people and provide the political base for opportunism of electing people who can do anything they want because we never really defined what they should achieve or stood for in the first place. 

If there are no mass movements on Banking, Water and Land in Wales then there is nobody to call to account whatever political representatives are elected under the Independence banner – we do not want free agents or representatives but direct democracy of the people so we can replace opportunists who serve themselves and not the people as soon as they raise their ugly head. 

We want Mass Movements and the Mass Line NOT Populism 

To these ends we at Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr are working towards a July 2019 Caernafon Declaration on the 50th Anniversary of the Anti Investiture Protests in Wales to go beyond mere talk to concrete steps on the road to Welsh Independence based on social movements around Banking and Water and Land - driving the politics of Welsh Independence and not just Plaid Cymru Electoralism

BLAST FROM THE PAST : OUR STATEMENT ON LEANNE WOOD WHEN SHE WAS ELECTED LEADER OF PLAID CYMRU IN 2012

https://democracyandclasstruggle.blogspot.com/2012/03/toward-welsh-socialist-republican-party.html

Adam Price New leader of Plaid Cymru

Adam Price
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Price (born 23 September 1968) is a Welsh politician serving as the leader of Plaid Cymru since 2018, after ousting Leanne Wood in the September leadership election.[1]. Since 2016 he has sat in the National Assembly for Wales for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, having previously been a Member of Parliament for the coterminous Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency.

Contents

* 1 Early life and career
* 2 Political career

Early life and career

The son of a miner, Price was born in Carmarthen and went to Amman Valley Comprehensive School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire.[2] He studied at Cardiff University, gaining a BA in European Community Studies in 1991. After graduating, he worked as a research associate at the Cardiff University's department of City and Regional Planning. From 1998, he was the managing director of the Newidiem-Economic Development Consultancy. Price is openly gay and features in the Pinc List of leading Welsh LGBT figures.[3][4] 

Political career

Price unsuccessfully contested the Gower seat in 1992. He was elected Member of Parliament for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr in 2001, holding the seat until he stood down in 2010. 

In 2002, Price obtained a letter written by Tony Blair to the Romanian Government in support of Lakshmi Mittal's LNM steel company, which was in the process of bidding to buy Romania's state-owned steel industry.[5][6][7] This revelation caused controversy, because Mittal had given £125,000 to the British Labour Party the previous year. Although Blair defended his letter as simply "celebrating the success" of a British company, he was criticised because LNM was registered in the Dutch Antilles and employed less than 1% of its workforce in the UK.[7] LNM was a "major global competitor of Britain's own struggling steel industry".[8] 

Blair's letter hinted that the privatisation of the firm and sale to Mittal might help smooth the way for Romania's entry into the European Union.[5] It also had a passage, removed just prior to Blair's signing of it, describing Mittal as "a friend".[7]

In 2004, Price announced his intention to begin a process of impeachment against Tony Blair following controversy over Iraq War, with the backing of Plaid Cymru and SNP MPs as well as Boris Johnson and Nigel Evans. If successful, it could have seen Blair tried before the House of Lords; however, as expected, the measure failed.[9]

In 2005, Price was ejected from the Commons chamber after accusing the Prime Minister of having "misled" Parliament and then refusing to withdraw his comment, in violation of the rules of the House.[10] 

In 2006, Adam Price opened a three-hour debate on an inquiry into the Iraq War, the first such debate in over two years. The SNP and Plaid Cymru motion proposing a committee of seven senior MPs to review "the way in which the responsibilities of government were discharged in relation to Iraq", was defeated by 298 votes to 273. 

Writing in the Welsh language current affairs magazine Barn in April 2007, Price criticised UK government policy on drugs, indicating his support for their legalisation under medical supervision.[11]

In August 2007, Price highlighted what he perceived as a lack of a Welsh focus on BBC news broadcasts.[12] Price threatened to withhold future television license fees in response to a lack of thorough news coverage of Wales, echoing a BBC Audience Council for Wales July report citing public frustration over how the Welsh Assembly is characterised in national media.[13] Plaid AM Bethan Jenkins agreed with Price and called for responsibility for broadcasting to be devolved to the Welsh Assembly, voicing similar calls from Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond.[12] Criticism of the BBC's news coverage for Wales and Scotland since devolution prompted debate of possibly providing evening news broadcasts with specific focus for both countries.[12] 

Following the 2007 Welsh Assembly elections, a parliamentary standards and privileges committee found Plaid MPs Price, Elfyn Llwyd, and Hywel Williams guilty of improperly advertising during the elections.[14] Though the committee acknowledged the MPs did not break any rules of the House of Commons, the committee believed the timing of the adverts were planned to coincide with the Assembly elections.[14] 

Parliamentary funds are available for MPs to communicate with constituents regularly. However, the committee found that the three used this communication allowance improperly as part of Plaid's campaigning during the elections as the adverts were placed in publications with a circulation outside of their respective constituencies.[14] 

Of the committee findings, Plaid MP group leader Elfyn Llwyd said that they would comply with the findings of the committee, but that they had "acted in good faith throughout, and fully in line with the advice that was offered to us by the DFA (Department of Finance and Administration) at the time of the publication of the reports".[14] The MPs had to repay the money, about five thousand pounds each, and report the costs as part of Plaid's election spending.[14] 

In August 2007 Price began a regular column in the weekly Welsh language current affairs magazine Golwg.[15] 

Price has been a long-standing opponent to the War in Afghanistan and put forward an Early Day Motion calling for a timetable for withdrawal. Price has been critical of the strategy and objectives of the war. 

Price stood down from Parliament in 2010. He worked for the innovation charity Nesta until he was elected to the Welsh Assembly in 2016, for the Carmarthen East and Dinefwr seat.[16]
On 2 July 2018, Price published an article for WalesOnline where he called on Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood to accept proposals to implement a new co-leadership model for Plaid Cymru, "where two leaders, male and female, jointly lead the party”.[17] He had criticised the direction of the party under Wood.[18] Wood rejected the proposals, leading Price to challenge Wood for the leadership and declare his candidacy for the 2018 Plaid Cymru leadership election on 4 July, along with fellow Plaid Cymru AM Rhun ap Iorwerth.[19] 

Price proposed several new policies which Plaid Cymru could adopt as part of his leadership bid. He suggested his party should use Wales' incoming devolved powers on taxation to put one penny on income tax for increased funding in the education system.[20] In August, Price released a ten-point policy plan setting out his vision for the Welsh economy, policies included: cuts and swaps to tax, a publicly owned Welsh energy company, infrastructure spending, and a job guarantee programme.[21][22] A separate document he released for his campaign, 'Wales: Seven Steps to Independence', detailed step-by-step measures his party could take to achieve Welsh independence by the year 2030.[23][24] 

On 28 September 2018, Price was elected leader of Plaid Cymru with almost 50 percent of members' votes, defeating incumbent leader, Leanne Wood.

R S Thomas - Poems

We were a people taut for war; the hills
Were no harder, the thin grass
Clothed them more warmly than the coarse
Shirts our small bones.

We fought, and were always in retreat,
Like snow thawing upon the slopes
Of Mynydd Mawr; and yet the stranger
Never found our ultimate stand
In the thick woods, declaring verse
To the sharp prompting  of the harp.

Our king died. or they were slain
By the old treachery at the ford.
Our bards perished, driven from the halls
Of nobles by the thorn and bramble.

We were a people bred on legends,
Warming our hands at the red past.
The great were ashamed of our loose rags
Clinging stubbornly to the proud tree
Of blood and birth, our lean bellies
And mud houses were a proof
Of our ineptitude for life.

We were a people wasting ourselves
In fruitless battles for our masters,
In lands to which we had no claim.
With men for whom we felt no hatred.

We were a people, and are so yet.
When we have finished quarelling for crumbs
Under the table, or gnawing the bones
Of a dead culture, we will arise,
Armed, but not in the old way.




Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr  says people do not understand why R S Thomas was so hard on his fellow countrymen - we do -  we see them repeating the mistakes of the past and presenting them as victories. 

Defeat has a pattern - it also has it authors and RS Thomas despised the authors of those defeats with a venom shared by us.

Madrid: homenaje a los últimos fusilados y las víctimas del franquismo - victims of Franco Remembered

On the morning of Sunday, September 23, the Civil Cemetery of Madrid was filled with republican and red flags and the symbols that have supported the act of homage to the last ones executed by the Franco regime, on September 27, 1975, and to all the victims of the criminal dictatorship of the Franco regime

Madog ap Llywelyn was the leader of the Welsh rising of 1294–95 against English rule. The revolt was surpassed in longevity only by the rising of Owain Glyndŵr in the 15th century.

Populism or Mass Line in Welsh National Movement Politics ? by Nickglais

Populism or Mass Line in  Welsh National Movement  Politics ?

The rise of Left and Right Populism in the Welsh National Movement is a sign of short term political opportunism and not a principled road to Welsh independence.

When we look at the Welsh National Struggle and its leadership  or the broader movement  we increasing see competition of the lowest common denominator – not a raising up of a principled Welsh Independence politics but its debasement.

Being all things to all men and women the core of Populist Politics lowers rather than raises the people's democratic abilities and powers.

In October 2016 at our First Welsh Socialist Republican Congress we called for an education campaign in Wales on the necessity of a Welsh Banking system and a Welsh Bank Act – we called for mass Movement on the Questions of Welsh Waterand Land and Acts to protect our Welsh Resources.

Does dim cwsg i'r rhai sydd nawr yn brwydro dros iawnderau.
Ceisio dial tynged pobloedd llwm.

Glyndwr, Glyndwr,

When the morning comes lead me through the land and through the cities,
lead me to battle by your side.

Carmarthenshire conference highlights issues facing Welsh rural economy

Cllr Cefn Campbell said around 1,000 young people per year were leaving the county, and that a large number of these were Welsh speakers from rural communities.

“De-population is an enormous challenge,” he said.

http://www.tivysideadvertiser.co.uk/news/16836955.carmarthenshire-conference-highlights-issues-facing-welsh-rural-economy/?ref=fbshr

WE REPUBLISH ONE OF OUR AFLONYDDWCH MAWR STATEMENTS ON DEPOPULATION AND WELSH ECONOMY FROM 2012

The right wing has a obsession with inward migration to Wales which it sees as the source of all problems, while always missing the main problem in Wales that of the neo liberal capitalist economy which drives many of the most able and resourceful young people into outward migration from Wales.

Wales is the second poorest country in Western Europe after Portugal with a GNP per capita that is unfavourable to that of Greece.

The focus on the immigration into Wales takes the focus away from the more fundamental question of Welsh Depopulation.

It is comparable to focusing on symptoms rather than of the main cause of illness of the patient.

In Wales the problem is the terminally ill neo liberal capitalist economy and immigration is just one of its many symptoms.

The Welsh population is ageing and the productive working population is shrinking, therefore there is an urgency to fighting depopulation in Wales which none of those parties that participate in representative democracy in Wales have so far seriously addressed.

A quarter of the Welsh population will be 65 or over by 2030, compared to 22% for the UK average.

The representative parties in Wales represent themselves.This should be no surprise and was clearly seen by the early Greek Democrats thousands of years ago, which was why they favoured direct democracy over representative democracy.

It is time for a new real democracy in Wales - Direct Democracy.

The question of an ageing population and a shrinking productive population has been tackled by some capitalist economies like the Japanese by promoting inward migration and that can only contribute to a solution to the problem on a temporary basis.

We at the Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr propose to tackle this problem by a series of economic measures to stop Welsh depopulation - a more permanent solution to the problem.

Welsh Depopulation and measures to overcome it, are at the center of the politics of the Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr 

Among the measures we recommend in the fight against depopulation is the passing of Welsh Land Act which will transform Wales from being a country with very low percentage of Welsh people owning their own land into a country like the Irish Republic where a much higher percentage of Welsh people owning their own land.

Land ownership in Wales was identified by Kevin Cahill as early as 2003 in Who Owns Britain as being one of the underlying causes of rural and urban poverty in Wales.

The Welsh Land Commission established by a Welsh Land Act would give priority to provide land for Township and Village Enterprises along the successful model of Chinese economic development.

Apart from the development of a Welsh Land Act - Welsh Economic development would require the development of a Welsh Banking system with a Welsh Community Bank at the core of the system.

It would be supported by Welsh Banks for Rural and Urban Development.

Therefore we at the Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr also call for Wales Bank Act to implement this development.

These banks would have public service mandates and be owned by the people of Wales and would not be allowed to speculate - we can learn the lessons from the Icelandic Banking collapse here to ensure a Welsh Banking system would be both transparent and accountable.

For those who think that Wales could not support its own Banking system - Iceland has its own banking system and currency with a population lower than Cardiff.

With Land and Capital in the hands of the Welsh people we have the real possibility of regeneration of the Welsh Economy in the 21st Century.

Land and Capital should be made available to resource processing industries in rural areas rather than just seasonal tourism as a way of combating depopulation.

Norway or example has high energy processing projects in the countryside which we could study.

There have been various successful schemes against depopulation in Europe but they have relied heavily on tax concessions and seasonal promotion of tourism, we want to put the emphasis on processing raw materials from Wales to lessen the historic colonial relationship with England which has seen Wales a source of raw materials to be processed in England.

We want to establish relations of equality with the English Nation and this calls for a restructuring of the economic relationship between Wales and England.We want a relationship based on mutual benefit with the working people of England not one based on an unequal colonial or imperial relationship.

With the tools of a Wales Land Act and a Wales Bank Act - Land and Capital combined with the Labour of the Welsh people would arrest Welsh national decline and start the Renaissance of a new democratic Wales,

A Welsh Socialist Republic

Welsh Proto Fascism has a face - Third Position Syncretism of Ein Gwlad

The Face of Welsh Third Position Syncretism - Flirtations with Alt Right Populism - The Opportunist comedy of errors.

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr has studied Third Position Syncretism for many years in our struggle against Fascist and Nazi movements in Europe ,  - it is now advocated proudly by Ein Gwald the new emergent proto fascist movement in Wales.

Third position syncretism is advocated by Alexander Dugin of Russia known as 4th political theory  - it is the beyond left and right mantra of Alex Jones of Infowars in the USA and US Alt Right Populism it is also Proto fascist - a precursor - not yet the full fascism because Fascism still remains profoundly unpopular throughout the World and in Wales.

Fascist  movements had a hard time after the Second World War after the defeat of  of Nazism  and tried recreating themselves based on the theories of Italian Fascist Julius Evola which tried to move from pure Nazi"scientific"racism to ethnic rootedness and is associated with "spiritual racism" and extreme misogyny.

Ethno nationalism of the white kind loved by Steve Bannon rather than civic nationalism was the credo of these reinvented fascists although we have noticed how Alt Right originator Richard Spencer in USA and Steve Bannon say to support civic nationalism tactically as a way to get into their beloved ethno nationalism and racism - a return ultimately to the infamous Nuremberg Blood Laws - Spencer will agree but Bannon is shamefaced about blood laws and washes his hands of the consequences of his rhetoric.

We have noticed attacks on Cultural Marxism that right wing construct and straw man coming from Jack O North of Ein Gwlad  - he is profoundly ignorant of Marxism and his scribbles on the question show - they do not rise to the level of an article.

We had an expert on Marxism and Culture in late Professor Raymond Williams in Wales and we are proud to have known this great son of Wales and learnt from him about socialism and the national question.Pity that Royston Jones did not learn from this literate Welshman instead of from Fascist scribblings and Nazi obscenities about Marxism.

                    Royston Jones - A Face of Welsh Fascism

Well  the Welsh Political Scene has not seen real flirtations with real Fascism since 1930's and that was tragic and an error - if we are in for Act 2  it will not just be tragedy but farce of the arse Royston Jones aka Jack o North.

Gwyn Wigley Evans another proud promoter of Third Way Syncretism - Proto Fascism aka political cretinism.

PS : Not to forget Ein Gwlad's Syncretic pathetic Dr Stephen Morris from Wrexham promoter of Poland as a model for Wales - as if we had not exported enough of our youth - we have to emulate the Polish Capitalist Model - see our article on Depopulation and Wales an antidote to his pathetic nonsense.
