Why We Need To Talk About Bevan…

“This is my truth, tell me yours.”

Thus spoke Bevan. This is a blog which will be looking at issues from a Bevanite perspective. Proudly socialist, trade union orientated, & working-class focussed.

​

Aneurin Bevan was a Socialist, a Trade Unionist, and a Labour activist and the three were woven into one tradition. I endeavour to stand in that tradition. From all that I have read, heard, and experienced I believe it is that socialist tradition that offers the solution to the capitalist malaise in which we find ourselves. For what is socialism if not that curious distaste for the suffering of others and the resolve with which to change it?  That is my truth which I wish to tell.

​

This is why I am here. This is why I believe we need to talk about Bevan.
