Nationalism: Scottish + other "oppressed" ones

...as long as there's a working-class, there'll be a 'working-class culture'.

...so then presumably, as long as there's Scots people, there'll be a Scots culture?? Which then begs, what's the problem??

Well, you'd be assuming that we're defending culture per se when we're not. Personally, I'm speaking for a specific cultural and historical process that's developed with the people themselves (the common people). It's the difference between a relatively independent, autonomous and historically challenging identity and perhaps you could say, a culture of work. It's a form of alienation. Wherever there's a clear grouping of people who rent themselves as labour to live, there exists a working class -even if they're not conscious of that fact, and their own shared identity opposed to the existing system. Culture means a lot of things, but it shouldn't be fetishised.

teeehee Santy's comin', I'm soo excited....
