Sthe, Like I said before, when a cde make inferences of generations that lead before us and who never characterised others as outsiders but being able to provide a clear political stock of the class interest they represented with their life and blood. You become so naive in assuming that calling the Party of Kotane, Slovo, Hani, Govan assume that we are worshipping them or building a personality cult. No my leader Marxism remain an ideology and maybe you should clarify why the SACP could not risk to adopt a solely international perspective in dealing with class contradictions that our society is faced with? Why was so important to deal with the national, gender questions at the same time with the class question? This is the true character of the Party programme in South African context. Marxism is not a panacea to our issues hence, we have never want to elevate Marx over Lenin. The tools of analysis we use as commissars are Marxist/Lennist tools of analysis this is not a coincidence but clear and through understanding of the differences or lack of clarity in one school of thought to the other. By the way both these leader which historical we will continue to make inferences to have never been factional in advancing the course of working class hegemony in society unless you are referring to another Slovo or Hani or Kotane, which we do not know. The reason why I called myself a Kotanist is informed by my understanding of the consciousness which he represented. I do not need a white philosopher to deal with African unique class question, (please read the history of the indeferences of the ANC and CPSA in the late 1920th), which only took the genius of Moses Kotane to clarify the importance of both struggles being fought at the same time. It was you who made remarks that Julius is a demagogue and Stalinist and so forth, it is this character that I am challenging you as Marxist scholar to say what make you come to the conclusion that goes to the level of singling out a member out of the collectives. I do not believe Vuyiswa is a chairlady of Silence Committee and also I believe Julius or Floyd speak on behalf of the collective. Bring to point the concept of Democratic Centralism. Now if you are a member as you claim of the very same league you will bear with us that we expect you to understand that those elected to lead are to do so and in leading you cant call mass meeting daily to inform members of what you want to convey. On issue of the resources or otherwise, you seems to understand the true version of the issue you are insinuating and why are you not going to police or law enforcement agency to prove your truth/lies (Mr). We have and we are still saying if you have proof for any wrong doing do not be like other media people whose agenda is to sell headline and ensuring that the earning are good act responsible and stop the rot by informing those tasked to deal with these matters. Is this not what SACP and YCL said on any member of the Party that might be corrupt that we should do? It is very wrong for a Marxist to want to go into the Party line of march by only making reference to the statement without reading the context. Such that you begging to speak as if when we want to achieve Socialism and Communism, we must all be poor. Never come to that sense of assuming that this revolutionary path is about being poor but about taking people out of the class oppression and ultimate dictatorship of the Proletariat. Your sentiment remind me of what Cde George Mashamba said at the Political School of Commissars around the outcry of cdes because they are CC members should not even buy a car because it will be viewed as betraying the working class agenda, which fails to understand the need to organise, convey and hegemonise society quicker than during stone-aged time. This reality calls on us to say how best can a Communist Programme be advanced? Because if we do not challenge this mentality, the SACP will soon be accused of why it organise Gala Dinners (to raise Capital to run Programme)? While the masses are sleeping in hunger. It is not correct to assume that only poor cdes should be the one that must lead our movement as per your insinuations because they will walk the talk. This statement that linked or portray Malema with Julius is not different to what DA will say about our Revolutionary implementation of AA and EE in workplace as reverse discrimination. This is the lack therefore of the very tools of analysis that makes Marxist the advanced detachment of the working class. Hence just like you calling yourselve a Marxist, I am not an outside but a cadres who understand the struggle waged by Kotane in practicalising the very same Marxist theory you want us to be enslaved too. Unless you want to distance yourselve to Kotane and the Party he lead, unless you want to distance yourselve from Hani and the Party he lead and unless you want to distance yourselve from the Party Slovo lead, then there is no issue in your insinuation of why I like Kotane et al so much. Then amongst us it will be you who is coping in our mist. You cannot erase history because very soon you will tell us that the Alliance is irrelevant. Very soon you will tell us not to make inference to the 1944 Generation of the Youth League or the Mokaba Generation in evaluating our impact of Society and the ANC. By the way ours and only our Revolution is to fight for working class dominations and to fight against Monopoly Capital and other forms of Class oppression, even if it means against those who are with us. Engage with what Malema is doing and not with suspicion as what we witness in you and cde Morgan inferences to Floyd. It is this lack of engaging them that makes people to have the Rooi ge Vaar mentality. Lets engage like how Kotane engaged the ANC of his Generation, like how Chris engaged the ANC he lead too, just like how Slovo engaged the ANC he also lead. I remain hopeful that oneday, we will write our own history and not worship some so called philosophers from outside our ranks. A Kotanist to the core

I will however take your comment as uninformed and would seek your to clear me point blank on what insults have you observed in my contribution. One for me to part take in this revolution is not of symphathy to Bourgeoisie nor will I find space to respectively engage Capitalism... I have no respect for corrupt individuals, lairs and factionalist who have posse as part of us... there are only two sides in the revolution its the class and the enemy of the class... I am convinced that looters, unti-working class, neither the less they will ater as those that are class conscious. I am not apologetic nor shall I ever be for my despise of bourgeoisie. I do believe that my on going hate for Capital will for ever make me revolutionary reliable not only to me nor to you... but to the future, and clearly you wish not to know it as mine is Socialism hence I say Socialismo o Muerte. In Xhosa kuthiwa "Andincengwa kuthandwa". I also need to clearfy you on some misconceptions that you hold, and probably you are delibarately trying to convince yourself it is correct to do as such. My personalising and individualising the communist party and redusing it to Kotane , HAni and whoever have and might have led it is an entrenched dilibarete atempt to advanced Factionalism in this revolutionary organisation. I is however incorrect for you my dear cader to advanced your ancestorious believes in the communist party. Neither Hani nor Slovo were philosophers and this cant be correct that we embasile some new ideologies we are of the view some of us that Marx was, and that is why we are a Marxist party... but however fellow combatant if you fell so attached to some revelations or ideologies that I may not have knowledge of advanced by Hani or Slovo you equally have a right to open you Hanist or Slovo-ist organisation, remember you are living in a democratic country you have a previlage to open such organization take COPE. Secondary to your comment you say that "Hold your views about the character of the working class and that of the Communist of today" I would advise you to post such view in this blog so that we have the liberty to clarify you, probably you are been misled by hypothetical thinking's of some like your said Juju and other but I will however understand that some have now even in the party proven to be what I call "Ideological Hermaphrodites" I will await your views .

To me you come out as a person with serious sufferance either as a results of not accepting the concept of democratic centralism and inabililty to link theory and practice. We have said and we are going to say, this is not the language of the Party of Slovo, Kotane and Hani wherein cdes reduces themselves into conveyor belts of insulting others on the basis of differences in approach. While cde Morgan has his view regarding what he termed the character of Capitalism, I also hold my views about the character of the working class and that of the Communist of today. But we must find a space for all of us to co-exist such that no one must claim to be a big brother or sister of the other.

I remain >>> Sithembewena tsembeyi <[email protected]> 3/3/2010 10:27 AM >>> Cde Morgan, if you were to remember capitalism is like a chameleon with features of an amoeba that's why you'll find so many about turns. For me the discussion is not much about the YL's nationalization but the class character of the dominant ideas within the YL. If we were to get clarities around such then one will understand the cause of Malemas rabbies. The ordinary members of the YL should pose a question as to what inspired them to join the Yl, and if the answer is about championing the interests of young people, they should them ask how does public,private partnership assist in championing such interests, When cde Jeremy tried to honestly caution the YL, little did he know that theirs was not a mistake but a deliberate attempt to give away the only hope that young people had, the ANCYL. There is an Islamic saying that says do not let Shaitan beguile you in regard to Allah, so in simple interpretation from a class content one will say do not let the YL or bourgoiesie mislead you in the name of the working class. In anycase, if some within the YL leadership collective thinks that all members are docile then they must therefore associate themselves with cde TM who also thought that all ANC members were easier to mislead. I fully agree with cde Khaya that Julius is a demagogue and a Stalinist dictator with Floyd serving as Molotov who destroyed all the enemies of Stalin thinking it was for a revolutionary cause. Gangsterism or what the party correctly termed as Kebble-ism is the only purpose of Malema's existence in YL politics and Aggliotism (a practice of telling lies accompanied by brutality in order to survive) is Floyd's means of survival within the gangsta paradise of Malema (current YL NEC). In every thing that these lumpen bourgoisie does, they must know that the might of the working class has never been defeated. Cde Mandela once said they will not rejoice or find rest until every child goes to bed having had something to eat, until every child has access to education and medical health care. All what Madiba said will not come from above or bestowed by bourgeoisie, they will only come through working class victory in a class struggle. Stealing from the poor is an understatement,hence Malema says they will not do such, they will in fact loot and rob the poor. what is the difference between Malema and Goerge W Bush Jnr who kills innocent women and children in the name of peace. Ours is to mobilise young people against these sudden culture of tenderpreneurship which defeats the ANC's objective of creating decent jobs and fight for a better life for all irrespective of their political affiliation.

This mooted "public-private partnerships" model sounds like a notion of nationalising in order to privatise. Is there anyone with details as to what informed this about-turn? Let's engage!

But this stance sits uncomfortably with the expropriation model for state ownership that the league punts in its position paper: “The manner in which nationalisation will be approached will neither be generalised compensation nor generalised expropriation without compensation. Expropriation without compensation should apply for mines that are not profitable, laying off huge numbers of workers and in financial crises.” Malema, who defended his right to be involved in private business after weekend newspapers reported how his companies had benefited from construction contracts in Limpopo to the tune of R130m, said the youth league’s position paper on nationalisation did not call for “total” state ownership. “We are saying the state must have majority shareholding and we want the formation of a state-owned mining company. We are not in Stalin’s Soviet Union,” he said. Yesterday Malema was on the back foot and had to explain how he engaged in business for private gain in areas like construction while being at the forefront of arguing for state ownership of SA’s mineral wealth. “Some people call it public- private partnerships, we call it nationalisation,” he said. Malema saw no contradiction between encouraging the league’s constituency to engage in private enterprise in all fields and its nationalisation push. He said the league remained optimistic it would get all role players to accept the need for a policy shift on the issue. But Malema conceded that nationalisation was not government policy. While the Congress of South African Trade Unions has supported the league’s drive, the South African Communist Party (SACP) has cautioned against nationalisation turning into “state capitalism” that benefits just a few well connected black business people. Malema said they would engage the SACP and hoped to convince them on the issue. “The SACP is also a potential ally in nationalisation. In fact we are going to engage them on their resolution which calls for the renationalisation of Sasol and Mittal Steel,” Malema said. But the SACP has raised several questions about the league’s nationalisation efforts. These centre largely on their concern that the league’s version of state ownership could end up benefiting narrow black middle- class interests which have become dominant in the state. Instead, the SACP has called for an amendment to the Petroleum Resources Development Act in order to ensure the socialisation of SA’s mineral wealth beyond formal state control.
