Cde Frank, Cde David Masondo in 2002 wrote an article which was on the third quarter edition of Umsebenzi titled: Is the emerging black bourgeoisie part of the motive forces of the NDR? Comrades, the latter was raising an important point which I find relevant to what Cde Frank argues. Colonialism, Imperialism and Neo-Liberalism are great friends and they do not care about the race of a nation they seek to exploit. David argues that "Bourgeoisies would be passionate about labour flexibility and privatization of state assets because these are the only ways in which it can get constant and variable capital" so it would not matter whether the Bourgeoisie would be from the previously oppressed or not. In disguise of seizing the economy from the White Capitalists through equal redistribution of wealth of a country by Black(African) Capitalists, the working class will continue to sufer the wrath of poverty and econmic marginalisation by their own brothers. We should not be rejoicing over the so-called Black Economic Empowerment because it is not assiting in the protraction and advancement of the NDR! Since Land is one of the key economic commodities/assets, instead of having being utilised for the benefit of the entire community, our own brother will take over the land and make us work for him so he can pay us slavish wages and celebrate laxarious life at our expense!
It is only the Communists who can lead economic transformation for the working class and the poor! Amandla!
