'The capitalist media are featuring glowing comments about Alex Salmond who died over lunch at a conference abroad. What a ‘monumental figure’ (Starmer) who ‘inspired a generation’ (Swinney)!
Socialists have a different view. Salmond was the purveyor of a poisonous flag-waving nationalism which should have no place anywhere in the world, and helped to perpetuate the myth that workers have common cause with the owners of the country in which they happen to be born. His ‘legacy’ is as a contributor to the erection at Holyrood of yet one more greasy pole to test the climbing skill of the politicians who run things on behalf of those owners.'
