Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant. Let us celebrate our common culture and fight those who divide us.

Resembling a pig's head, Cymru (Wales) sits to the west of central England.  The likes of Plaid Cymru (the Party of Wales, so they claim) play upon the geography of the area to promote separatist fantasies, pitting Welshman against Englishman.  The myth pushed by Plaid, is that the English came over the border, stealing the entire country and imposing their ways on a completely alien people.  Fantasy and brazen lies are the tools of the separatists.

Cymru is a proud nation, which has her own traditions, culture and living language. The name Wales, was given to the territory by the people in what is now England, and meant 'foreigner'. The Welsh, however are far from foreign to the British Isles, and have lived in the Isles for millennia, dating back to at least the earliest time in known official history.

The Welsh culture has not always been as prevalent as it is today. The language was suppressed for centuries, and had to be kept alive in secret. The survival of the distinct culture of the Welsh was threatened by London finance imperialism, but averted by the courage of the Welsh Resistance, and in particular by the actions of the great Welshman, Owain Glyndŵr.

On the 16th September 1400, Owain Glyndŵr began an uprising against the tyrants in London. Glyndŵrs forces demanded an end to the subjugation of Wales, and the protection of her culture. Although the revolt failed, its legacy paved the way for the restoration of the Welsh language in the last century. Today Wales is a vibrant land with her own national dress, language, literature, art, music, and all aspects of culture. Glyndŵr did not fight in vain.

The London regime which came into effect with the tragedy of 1066 and the Norman tyranny, has subjugated the authentic nations which were abolished to create the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom. We need heroes such as Owain Glyndŵr and Guy Fawkes to once again confront the enemies of the people and say no to the cultural genocide being carried out under the lie of open borders global capitalist 'freedom'.

We need more people like Glyndŵr, and less like the liberal-internationalists and fake patriotic parties such as Plaid Cymru.  Owain Glyndŵr was motivated by a love of his own culture and a determination to stop it being destroyed by imperialists. He was not anti-English - his enemy was the Ruling Class who (then, as now) hid behind the people of England who they held in equal contempt as those subjugated in a more openly imperialistic way.

The 1st March is Saint David's Day, named after a man whose claim to fame was performing a miracle at the tiny village of Llanddewi Brefi.  His 'turn' involved making the ground he stood on rise up, so that people at the back of a group gathered for a church synod could hear him speak!  As a day to celebrate the Welsh culture, it would be far better to honour Glyndŵr than a member of the Ruling Class of Ceredigion who is associated with powers shared by moles.

Why, one may ask, would the Socialist Motherland Party celebrate the national day of Wales? It is not because we believe in Dewi's supernatural powers, but rather that it is right to honour our various cultural strains.  The people of Wales are not completely separate to those of England, as the liars of Plaid would like us to believe. When the Angles, Saxons and others came, the native Britons remained.  We were not pushed into the west.  We stayed where we were and absorbed the newcomers.  For those obsessed with DNA, the scientific research into the peoples of the British Isles has found that we are the same people.  In Wales and England in particularly, the unity is striking.  When the Germanic tribes came, they altered the DNA of England by 30% at the most, whereas in Wales in some areas the alteration was as little as 10%.  This makes the Welsh up to 90% Brythonic, the English at least 70% Brythonic.  The liars of Plaid seek to divide us so that they can split the Motherland apart, making it far easier for its absorption into the global capitalist system in which there are more borders on maps, but no borders in reality.

Our long held policy of promoting Welsh, English and Gaelic across the Isles is the way to beat the separatists.  We are one people, and the day will come when we will be able to switch being our regional tongues automatically, and the power of language as a tool to divide, will be replaced by the power of language to unite.

The Arthurian Legends are a part of our mythology. To be able to read the Mabinogion in an untranslated form, is to delve deeper into the myths.  Culture matters. History matters.  Mythology and our place in time and space matter.  The Socialist Motherland Party wishes everyone across the Isles the very best for this day of Welsh Culture - or as it is better stated - of British Culture.

Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon - a nation without a language is a nation without a heart. 

Welsh belongs to us all. We cannot let the Plaiders turn our ancestral language into a weapon to isolate us from ourselves.  The idea of the English being Germans and everyone else being Celts is a lie - we are all Celts, just with slight variations of other contributing peoples from many other places, Germany included!  The SMPBI seeks an end to the false divisions of the fake patriots in the reactionary separatist movements, and in its place forge a deep unity; a rich unity where we can all share what we have brought historically from diverse sources.  Unity is the Socialist way. Separatism is the Capitalist way.  And we must never forget that it was in Merthyr that the Red Flag was first flown - years before even Marx took up the banner. Our Unity IS Our Strength.
