I’ve been asking this question for years,how many countries need to submit a business plan to become independent?
Here’s something else Kelman said at the Word Power opening event: http://glasgowanarchists.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/jim-kelman-on-the-refarendum/
Thanks, really interesting position. I’m not sure how coherent it is though? It’s a plebiscite to effectively dismantle the British State, a move which he supports, but won’t vote for?
I actually wasn’t expecting him to argue this. I know he’s a libertarian socialist or anarchist, but he’s written previously,
“It is my belief that the Nationalists’ brand of independence should still be grasped. We can learn from the past. Sooner or later the right to self determination will be exercised by the majority people in my country. When I vote ‘yes’ to independence I shall be voting towards that end”. http://www.christiebooks.com/ChristieBooksWP/2012/03/james-kelman-on-self-determination/
So has he changed his mind, and why? You’d have to ask him!
