The Republican Communist Network and the Republican Communist Forum have been at the centre of the campaign to build support for republicanism in Scotland. This has involved upholding republicanism as the \u00a0sovereignty of the people against the UK’s \u00a0sovereignty of the Crown-in-Westminster. We have \u00a0criticised those who limit republicanism to anti-monarchism, which can provide cover for imperial (e.g. USA), one-party (e.g. China) and military (e.g. Myanmar) republics. And in keeping \u00a0with our principle of supporting ‘internationalism from below’, we have also covered republicanism in Ireland, Wales, England and \u00a0Catalunya. Here we provide links to articles we have posted since the RCN’s founding in 2002.<\/strong><\/p>\n
