Yorkist-Socialism was developed by the Heslington Scholars, a group of academics, workers and activists who operated from York University Campus from 2015-2022. Although the Scholars based their ideas on those which were circulating at the time anyway, hence ‘Yorkist-’ rather than ‘Heslington-’ socialism, their insights would eventually gain primacy throughout the Northern workers, as the definitive tenets of working-class struggle. For this reason, Yorkist-Socialism may be said to be based on the Heslington Scholars, and ‘the Prophecies’, which was written partly from one ex-Scholar’s recollections of past meetings.
