Revolutionary greetings I would firslty like to greet all disciplined forces of the left that take time to engage fruitfully on this forum This Forum primarly serves as a platform to make infromed inputs on whatever issues that may arise within the political landscape.
As reactionary as Lucas may sound, lest we forget that in reality and on a daily basis we are confronted with attitudes like his. This is the best platform to enhance the manner in which we respond to them .It should be one (response) that is absent of emotion and mindful of the revolution. Our's is to be consistent in whatever it is we seek to achieve despite the antagonistic climate that we at times find ourselves operating under. Cde. Lucas It's quiet evident that you might have minimal understanding of poverty in our society and variables that are entrenched in our system to keep the poor, poor. I cannot blame you for this as I have no knowledge of your school of thought and ideological beliefs. It's very simplistic and futile for one to simply think that one perpetuates poverty upon themselves without simultaneously interrogating the causations. We have a society that has been made to believe that resources are scarce due to the capitalist literature that distorts the definition of Economics: which places emphasis on scarce resources. The truth of the matter is that the notion of scarcity is a farcade and the reality is that there is unequal distribution of wealth in order to advance Capital. Poverty is systematic and it will always be rife in areas where the working class is primarily situated geographically. This ensures that there is always a workforce that will be at the mercy of those that want to produce for profit maximisation. The majority of our people do not have access to land that can be utilised for production etc.....Yet we have farmers in the Eastern cape that own land as big as the East Rand and if you investigate the manner in which the land was acquired, it's through succession and forced removals of black people. Currently as we speak we have matriculants that will be subjected to "booby traps" such as crime and prostitution due to the fact that education is still a commodity that is only afforded by the priviledged. I can only hope that you will utilise this forum to understand another version of the truth and gain as much knowledge through THE Communist University, as you can. As Communists it is our duty to teach where ignorance prevails and we can only assist you to understand another version of Economics. We hope that your attitude will not be a barrier to potentially liberating information that will make you understand the class struggle. Capital has no colour, it only knows the langauge of exploitation and that is what we fight daily in our revolution as the working class with the only tool we have to bring capital to its knees and that is Labour ...... Cadres lets not lose sight of what we seek to achieve, Communist regards, Gugu Ndima On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 9:40 AM, Ian Beddowes <[email protected]> wrote: > "Cosatu and the leftists scored a major victory after Minister in the > Presidency Trevor Manuel toned down the green paper on the contentious > National Planning Commission. > > "The revised green paper strips the planning commission of its executive > functions, which Cosatu strongly objected to and claimed would effectively > turn Manuel into a prime minister." > > These opening words by Caiphus Kgosana in the 'Sunday Independent' tell us > a lot.
