Comrades, it's vital to get pass along solid information, and this
simply can't be true. A similarly-worded fake alert along these lines
was circulated in India a few days ago.
We still have democracy here, albeit 'low intensity,' and we can still
say all sorts of critical things here. That's because we're mainly
irrelevant.
Cheers,
Patrick

I would like to draw the attention of readers to the following.
Comrades from South Africa just informed me that the government forced
social media groups to post following message:
"Mandate To All Residents. Tonight 12 ( midnight) onwards Disaster
Management Act has been implemented across the country. According to
this update, apart from the Govt department no other citizen is
allowed to post any update or share any forward related to Coronavirus
and it being punishable offence.
Group Admins are requested to post the above update and inform the
groups."
This has gone viral as it suggests that the capitalist government of
ANC and Stalinist CP plans to suppress that anyone except itself is
allowed to talk about the COVID-19 issue. (Indeed one TV station
already interpretated it that way.) All this takes place in the
context of the reactionary lockdown which the government has imposed
for 21 days. As soon as I know more I will update comrades.
In any case it demonstrates once more that COVID-19 is a perfect cover
for global counterrevolutionary offensive.
