Our Core Principles

Social Transformation

We recognise the need for Cymru to be fundamentally reorganised, with the working class in charge, not the bosses. A core principle of Cymru’n Codi is this – that the future of Wales and the world cannot be trusted in the hands of those who are ruining it now. The same people who piled thousands of tonnes of slag on the tops of our hills, the people who flooded our valleys, are the same people who have driven our world into a climate disaster – spurred on by endless drive towards profit.

National Independence

Westminster, and the political status quo of Wales, has left us voiceless, easily ignored and an afterthought. We must take radical steps to change this, and fully address the conditions here in Cymru, unique to our situation. We have a national parliament, our ecological situation is linked to our industrial exploitation, and our cultural heritage has been trampled by the capitalist homogenisation of Cymru under British capitalism. The British state is a roadblock to social, political and economic transformation in Cymru.

An Internationalist Cymru

We reject any notion that the working class in Wales has nothing to do with the working class in any other country – and reject the concept that by organising on a Welsh basis, we are no longer internationalist. We see our fight as one interlinked fight against global capitalism – and uphold our proud history as working class internationalists. The fight for production for people, planet and peace, not profit, is an international one, and we commit to fighting on the Welsh and international stage for it.
