After yesterdays white paper by the SNP leader Alex Salmond it seems likely that at some time in the not to distant future there will be a referendum on Scotland becoming independent. The referendum more than likely will contain other options like more power but not full independence, however the prospect of an independence vote should exercise the minds of anarchists.
In the contex of this referendum Anarchists should argue for a yes vote. Not from a nationalist perspective obviously but because it would be in the best interests of our class. The break up of the British state would weaken the capacity of the British ruling class to engage in imperialist adventures internationally and undermine the highly jingoistic and chauvanist British stream of nationalism. It would eliminate the national question in Scotland which could not but be a good thing.
Anarchists should stste baldly that this is why we argue for a yes vote.
