[Imc-uk-network] Network Structure - United Kollectives & Other IMC's

[ilyan]

United Kollectives was chosen as a title in hope that Ireland would join 
in,  and fell flat in its idea-face when it did not give Iceland people 
a hand to participate when they asked.

You can take your pick for the reasons IndyCymru was killed:

They published attacks on the Labour Party
They supported the Basques in their struggle for National Independence,
They carried pieces showing why children burnt schools.  One of those 
was the last thing published,.
They had no censorship.   Followed the principles of the original 
Portuguese IMC but required that email addresses be registered to 
contribute.   That worked where Portugal had failed.
Stupid German Russian and British Anarchists read a book by an Anarchist 
horrified at the imperialist way his Nation was behaving, advocating the 
ending of Nations.   Not noticing how strongly proper Anarchist ideas 
developed in the oppressed Nations, coupled and reinforced by the urge 
to National survival.

It was a fluent Welsh speaker who made the phrase Anarcho-Syndicalism.   
He died in 1907.
Had preached Socialism and Anti-Parliamentarianism in Wales in the late 
1880s.
