Nationalist Cant

Up to possibly 15,000 nationalists rallied at Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce triumphed over English army for a separate Scottish sovereign state. A socialist does not have profound sympathy with the struggles of countrymen but with, fellow-workers; we do not demand service Irish or English or French but solidarity in the cause of our class. Nationalism will give our fellow-workers something to quarrel over for years to come, to the hindrance of propaganda for working-class solidarity against the international capitalist class.

The Socialist Standard has exposed this patriotic nonsense in an article from 2014



De Brus or  Bruys at Bannockburn never fought for the people of Scotland – he fought to place a crown upon his head and create a royal dynasty.
