I agree with Nrumah. As Pan Africanists we have correct political line and ideology. Problem: rhetoric and vulgarizaton of Pan Africanism. Our main rival, the ruling party, mastered what Pan Africaists are very weak at doing: understanding and practicing political hegemony and the notion of "From the masses, to the masses..."(mass line). You may call it Stalinism, but it works. That's what kept and still keeps the ANC and other political parties in power. That's , political influence and control of the thinking of the whole society at large(workers, peasants, business people, professionals, academcs, clerics and atheists, cerebrities, sports people, pensioners, women, youth,students, etc). These are all the people who will either take us to or remove us from power depending on who has won their hearts and minds, not our members. If not, South Africa will be under the minority rule of a group of terrorists who can sieze power only through force of arms, not through international accepted democratic practices (popular votes).
Cunningham and other Pan Africanists in NACTU owes us an explanation for their faiulre to do what is expected of them, just like Vavi and other trade union leaders. MDC is today a serious threat in Zimbabwe with its pro-West ideas because of unions under its apron strings. What is different between NACTU and other trade unions in the whole world? I still believe with the full support of influential unions and other formations of the civil society we can rule this country from tommorrow onward. I have not doubts. Let's just address address all our failures and weaknesses. And then go t the voters. Door-to-door campaign is what we inherited from Sobukwe and his cabinet. Arm-chair politics will continue keeping Pan Africanists out of power in South Afica. PAYCO group must be used only to refine our ideoogy; to iron out ideological strggles, not for rhetorics and complaining about ANC outperforming us in the election game. We must answer challenges facing the movement, such as : - Pan Africanism wthout Pan Africanists - Africanist Socalist Democracy v.s New Democracy in SA - United States of Africa or Unified Socialist Africa - United States of Africa without socalist States or socialists - Pan Afrcanism: Capitalism or Socialism? - Private planned or State planned economy - Malema's nationalisation : Capitalist or Socalist route? Difference?? - Return of land: How?? - Transfer of economic power: How?? - etc On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 12:31 PM, sello mafrika Tladi <[email protected]>wrote: > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Facebook > <[email protected]<notification%[email protected]> > > > Date: Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 12:18 PM > Subject: Raymond Nkrumah Kgagudi wrote on your Wall... > To: Sello M'Afrika <[email protected]> > > > Raymond Nkrumah posted something on your Wall and wrote: > > "Rhetorical statements are not a solution and the serve no significant > purpose but if you can start working within the masses, build and integrate > the party within t community and workers' struggles then you will possess > the stregnth and ability to condemn and effect the necessary revolutionary > change within the occupied Azania and the African Continent. through > organisation and a clear political theory we can liberate Africans from the > current state of servitude, poverty and human degradation." > > > Reply to this email to comment on this post. > > To see your Wall or to write on Raymond Nkrumah's Wall, follow the link > below: > > http://www.facebook.com/n/?profile.php&id=1529311958&v=wall&story_fbid=1421477266819&mid=2435a30G5b2772d6G19ce288G1&n_m=rmsello%40gmail.com > > Thanks, > The Facebook Team > > ___ > Find people from your Gmail address book on Facebook!
