The radical and green left is often more supportive of the Cornish cause, its from them that ideas like Fourth World Nations come from: http://www.cwis.../fworld.html

I would have thought that the concept of the 'Fourth World' had manifested itself many decades before the rise of 'green' issues and rumblings about globalisation. One can understand, perhaps, that it was something that the 'greens' might attach itself to, but peoples' rejection of repression by the majority has a long pedigree. 
An excellent article tho' 
TGG For The (Real) Reason Why!
STOP THE CORNISH GENOCIDE!- The existence of divergent views occur because the lies and deception have a more profoundly negative, and contrived, consequence for the Cornish people than for anyone else within the UK.

Your right TGG but the idea of Fourth World Nations and historic regions marries very well with radical decentralisation so beloved of the green left.

2nd Secessionist Convention Media Stories
The convention was held Oct 3-4, 2007 in Chattanooga, TN
As you'll see, there was controversy over(mostly Southern Poverty Law Center) allegations that convention co-convener League of the South is racist. More info at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_the_South
http://middleburyinstitute.org also co-convened.
In truth, all secessionists risk being tarred by "unionists" with the "bigotry" smear because *some* secessionists obviously want separatist organizations, communities or nation states based on race, religion, ethnicity, language, gender, etc. The desire to work in political community with one's own kind does not necessarily mean hateful or supremacist or colonialist beliefs - though when it does we should protest the fact. But that doesn't mean we have to spend half our time denouncing any secessionist who doesn't toe any unionist's politically correct line.
To me a greater concern about the conference itself is that most of the attendees assume seceding entities will be one or more of the current states of the union. One of these days I'll list all the arguments for why we should be promoting secession by smaller entities (communities,cities, counties) which then form regional networks and confederations. At http://secession.net.
One argument is suggested by the fact that two different gay blogs below gave the convention relatively positive coverage. Minority groups that want self-determination can most easily be accommodated by community-based secession movements.
Considering that a time of great change is coming, we must get our strategies and goals in order if we are to offer a real alternative to the various authoritarians jockeying to take greater control of nation states worldwide. Carol in DC
