I think getting embroiled with Lefties doesn’t serve socialism in the slightest.
They are a tiny minority, all of them, and can be left to fester. The more we get into polemics with them, the more we become, like them, alienated from the majority of the working class.Neanderthal facts

All hominids are from Africa. Of course, new species branched off later. I don’t know when Neanderthals did, but they were, I believe, restricted to the icy northern hemisphere.
Considering we all came from the womb, doesn’t anyone ponder as to why most of us have to pay others in order to get heat, food, clothing and shelter?
Wouldn’t diet have also had a role in Neanderthal extinction? Inhabiting the northern hemisphere in the Ice Age they did not have the varied diet of southern hominids.
I’ve not been following this thread. Can I have, in a nutshell please, an SPGB analysis of why our bills are increasing, given that the UK doesn’t depend on Russian gas?
The Highlanders would never have thought of themselves as Scottish, nor as a nation, but as children of a clan. Like the Japanese used to.
And those who thought of themselves as “Scottish” hated and despised the Highlanders as “savages”, to be got rid of. The same way the American colonials looked at the natives. So, like all nationalism, Scottish nationalism is also garbage.But the Lowland Gaels would have been pushed north quite quickly I think, Alan, by the English (Saxon) and Norman settlers.
Robert the Bruce, the great Scottish hero, was in fact Robert de Bruys, a Norman.
I remember Alf Garnett trying to prove a racist point about blood by arguing you can’t give a Jew Catholic blood or vice versa.
Could be Britons (Welsh), since some British (Welsh) tribes occupied the north too.
I don’t know why U.K. nationals are called Britons by the media unless they are Welsh. The term British cannot be used politically until after 1707. Before then it was applied specifically and correctly to the Welsh and Cornish alone.
The Scots who came from the north of Ireland were the Gaelic speakers of the Highlands. Lowland “Scots” are not Scots, but descendants of Anglo-Normans, Saxons (“Sassenachs”) and Welsh (Britons).https://images.app.goo.gl/jxaeD6ijAbBtjBNt7
