SCOTLAND SUPPLEMENT III - Separatism, federalism, centralism
Breaking apart existing states is not the road to socialism, but the road to defeat, writes Jack Conrad
Those who rigidly adhere to a moralistic, third-worldist anti-imperialism cannot possibly bring themselves to countenance self-determination for ‘unworthy’ peoples - the most obvious example being Israeli Jews and the British-Irish in the six counties of Northern Ireland.
1 Given its junior role in building, administering and maintaining what was a vast British empire, that must include Scotland too. After all, historically, even “left-of centre”
2 Scottish nationalists sought not an end to that empire, but, as a “mother nation”, equal rights with England to plunder and profit.

After tabling the decision about whether to move Riponâs dispatch center to Fond du Lac County at its last meeting after an at times heated discussion, the Ripon Common Council took it off the table last week Tuesday.
The topic will be discussed Tuesday, Jan. 12. It was brought to the council in August and was re-visited Nov. 10. It was then that Police Chief Bill Wallner asked the council if it could make a decision on the matter at the Nov. 23 meeting so that the dispatchers who have been in limbo that past several months could have some peace of mind and so that Fond du Lac County can know whether Ripon plans on joining.
