Draft note on the Human Republic, Toni's thoughts in development which were eventually published as an internal discussion document (see here), unfortunatly any attempt at some serious development of philosophy and theory give ground to increasing radical militant direct action against the Investiture. Time was catching up with us and the tide of need for protest overweamling us, there was very little time to sit down discussing politics as we more and more engaged in the politics of Agit - Prop Activism. Ultimatly of course this failiure was to doom us, as lack of a sound ''Alternative Nationalist'' philosophy and theory would doom, and cause demise of all attempts of founding successful ''Alternative Nationalist'' Movements up to the present. Thus 40 years on, we have something called 'Cymru Rydd' aka Welsh Republican Party practising ''Romantic Republicanism'' and a 'Balchder Cymru' practising ''Retro Republicanism'' aka ''Supa Knee Jerk Patriotism'', but perhaps I am too hard, as they are involved in some action as the Hafod Rubbish Dump Protest. Maybe I am hard on them because they remind me of the Patriotic Front, but where we had no time to learn lessons, they do? Essentially, at this moment in time the AWNM&S is in a shambolic state, for the greater part in demise, even the ''Ultra - Nationalist'' journal 'Ein Gwald Journal' seems to have shut shop, for one reason or another? Ironically, it seems that in place of any resemblance of a sound ''Alternative Nationalism'', since collapse of the Welsh Independence Party, the ''gap in the political market'', outside the ''fringe'' of aforementioned ''grouplets'' has been filled, ironicaly by 'The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint David'(and it's appendage of ''Tartan Taffery'') co founded in the Autumn of 2001 by my old comrade and fellow 60's Adfywiadwr Toni Lewis, along with ''New Boys on the Block'', Mark Roberts, Marcher Lord of Trelleck and Henry Jones Davies Publisher Editor of Cambria Magazine also other ''Knights of Saint David'' and of the ''Anglican'' Yellow Cross of Redemption, imposed on the Cathars of the Languedoc in the middle ages. Over the past 40 years there has existed some sound representations of ''Alternative Nationalism'' as Welsh Socialist Vanguard, Independent Welsh Labour Party, Cymru Goch I & II, the Welsh Socialist Republican Movement, Welsh Republican Movement II. To be followed in time by Cymdeithas Cyfamod and the Welsh Independence Party but now it very much looks as if ''the party is over'' for Alternative Welsh Nationalism, Movement and Struggle? Even the annual Cilmeri Rally seems to have ''lost the plot'' and become a pointless exercise in posing, posturing and parading for film makers as in 2006?. However, the ''Good Ole Boys'' Politics of Pint Pot Peripheralism still thrives but it's the ''Knights of Saint David'' who will go marching on, unless there is another ''Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru?'' http://adfywiad.blogspot.com If so, I hope it gets the Patriotic philosophy and theory sorted or otherwist it will only repeat the same mistaked made by the Patriotic Front during the great 'Adfwiad Gwladgarol Cymru 1962 - 69'. Now read on, regards our attempts to get it right!
