Cde Linda, Your express commitment to a choice is noted Son of the soil.
Here and elsewhere, this must be the cardinal point. Simply put, and it was best articulated by one comrade on this platform, are we ready to die for the cuase of revolution or not? In my opinion there is no better way to put it, and I am yet to see or study of a bloodless revolution. As we speak now, the ruling elite in SA is already on a massacre course. You can count Tatane, Marikana, and many other police killings daily. So quite overtly the question of a bloodless revolution is already off the picture here at 'home'. The unfortunate thing is that we have either skated around this issue or allowed dubious characters to skate around it, and even tolerate that they can call themselves our leaders. Leaders of what ? Leaders of opportunism masked in sloganeering, gentlemanism, cowardice? It is for this reason that any idea that rallies around individuals and not a program of action is fallacious and dodgy to say the least. It cannot be too much to ask, that let's set out a program on what has to be done first before punting some gatherings and personalities which are doomed to fail. It is a solid inference to be drawn that these characters are opponents of the revolt line. They prefer to keep us busy for as long as we don't storm the regime and the broad church. They gate keep for the broad church and keep us lulled into abstinence from burning it down. These revolt line opponents who are within the party buy young people with shillings which has itself deepend the intricacy of the problem. The sane voice saying to the young that they should look for a job so that they have the right to think and that if they can't find a job they must become an army of assault against the broad church is submerged by the conformists in the party. With a program as the first basis for everything, we will know who is with us, atleast from an expression perspective, and who is not. I can tell you that your re-assessment of your role in the party is a feeling shared by many. We will have to keep our heads down focus on this program of action, and hope still that it is the PAC that will pick it up, failing which the revolution will find its custodians. This is because content supersedes form, agenda supersedes a vehicle. I do not wish to refer you to the Iota program which we drafted over ten years ago and how rhetoric parties have taken to literally everything we said and pre-empted. This is because it pains me that my party can engage in so much wastage, and the promotion of apology as its defining line. In brief, I am saying, we need more declarations, here and elsewhere on whether we are on a sweet sweet line or we are on a death death program line. It is that simple. I am not a gifted academic nor philosopher, otherwise I would have put it in some nice verbiage. I am not of that make.

Indeed I agree with you that we have to make a choice between Revolting or conforming to the system. Making such a choice is critical to know who are with the masses of our people (revolt route) or those with the system (conforming route). I wish to state where I stand. I stand for revolt. I know the implications of taking this route to me personally, professionally, financially and politically. I know that one stands to loose his life, be unpopular, growth professionally, financial difficulties and political isolation within the party and outside the party. I have considered all these consequences of this decision but despite and inspite of these I prefer to stand with the masses of my people. I stand for revolt and martyrdom. I have gone through the position statement of the Programme of Action and agree wholeheartedly with it. I will share some of my contributions with the main contents of the programme of action. I strongly believe we need to embark on serious cadreship development if we have to succeed with mass mobilization and produce quality leaders to lead our people into revolutionary action. Count me in therefore on revolt cadre. Izwe lethu!

It is our view that the choice facing us today is between - Revolt and Conform. We must choose one, and so is the PAC. The choice is indeed less about 'factions' or 'personalities' but about 'ROCO' - Revolt or Conform. I have made my choice and I think the time has come for all of us to make our choices known so that we should not waste each other 's time in case we are on different agenda routes. It is better to engage in inner party struggle with comrades with whom a foundational outlook is shared than engage in wastage. Time is of the essence. Let's declare our colours. Please read the attached and let us unchain each other to pursue what we each believe than keep each other in a chained adulterous relationship. We cannot hurt in perpetuity unless we are part of the perpetrators. We must make a call - Revolt or Conform !
