Radical Wales exists as an independent platform for considered radical political analysis, commentary and discussion in Wales. We hope to attract a wide range of submissions from across the spectrum of anarchists, communists, greens, left-republicans and socialists.
THE ROAD TO FREEDOM - John Dixon, one time Chair of Plaid (now ex-Plaid) discusses
http://www.radicalwales.org/2011/07/road-to-freedom.html
" I don’t believe that national freedom for Wales within the current paradigm is an essential step along the road to freedom, nor does it of necessity lead beyond that current paradigm. But neither do I believe it to be a diversion, and there are aspects of the national struggle which can be building blocks for that wider journey"
THE BILLYBANKS IS OUR HOME
http://www.radicalwales.org/2011/07/billybanks-is-our-home.html
"The Billybanks is a large council estate in Penarth that has been abandoned for 9 years. It has been voted the ugliest unique eyesore in Wales as well as having won awards for architecture...We who have squatted & live at the Billybanks enjoy being part of the community that remains, are proud to inhabit somewhere that the council have abandoned for 7 years and plan to stay here as long as we can"
A SHIFT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CUTS - Steve Ryan from the exec of PCS Wales gives a personal libertarian view on where now after the J30 strikes...
http://www.radicalwales.org/2011/07/blog-post.html
"The London march on 26th March was the biggest mobilisation by the trade union movement for decades, followed on 30th June by the biggest one day strike seen for many years. Now the question is "Where next?" The talk of a co-ordinated mass strike in the autumn, with the big battalions of UNITE and UNISON joining the fray. How do we keep the heat up over the summer? In terms of keeping the action going there seems to be little concrete coming from the unions"
