Revolutionary Greetings We must bear in mind that the very same pettit beaugeoasies want to create fuctionalism because they operate well under such circumstances. So those of us who are well conciuntised must not allow this people to rein in our party. Instead of becoming the very same fuctions they are creating we must be united as one under the umbrella of African Nationalism. This people must not devide us in whatever way. If we allow fuctionalism then we will have fallen into their trap. We must be within the movement and continue to preach unity without giving that unity names. Unity of PAC cadres is a must in our situation. We are all aware that we are infiltrated and the worst part is that we are infiltrated by the people we trust so much and have intrusted the PAC with. So fortunately there are ways to deal with such people constitutionally. Now if in the case of PAYCO that continues not to recognise the Alice constitution then we are doomed. It is that very same constitution that can be used to get rid of this people. Payco and all of us must swallow our pride and recognise this constitution only to use it to revamp PAC. It is not only Payco who are wise enough to see that we are being sold out here. All of us can see and we are really not happy ubout what is prevailing in the organisation. My take is we cannot and will never solve PAC issues as divided as we are. Some of us are just hoping that the PAC leadership can just out of no where seaze to exist. That will never happen and can only be addressed through the constitution that some of us so much despise. So lets be sensible and come into the realities that are facing us and together we can recreate PAC and steer this Sobukwe ship to the shores it is destined to. All Africanist must come back home and first recognise the very same PAC leadership that we are so much pissed with. After which we must peruse the same constitution that we so much despise and use it to solve the PAC problems that the very same constitution braught within PAC. So far there is no any other route unless we decide to illiminate other people. Otherwise this has been a long talk and so far nothing has happened and by look of things nothing will be happening until like the revolutionary watchdogs Payco will come back into the PACYL with the tail between its legs. These are realities comrades and we either heed to a unity call without any conditions or some of us are doomed. Izwe Lethu

There is always strength in principled unity. "Principled" in that it is based on a programme to achieve the noble ends of freedom for the African people. "Principled" because it is simply founded on the ideal seeking to totally empower the poor to emancipate themselves from continued socio-economic pauperization. "Principled" in that it focuses on mass action rather than sectarian or elitist crusades. Accepting that nobody, party, social movement, group or faction has exclusive rights to some magic "liberatory" wand, revolutionary pluralism seeks to forge partnerships and networks for the empowerment of our people through the masses' own revolutionary action. Factionalists, informed by their petit bourgeois aspirations and arrogance, appropriate to themselves the "right to think for the masses." When the masses inevitably ignore them, factionalists continue relentlessly to demonise all those who differ with them even inside their own parties or movements. This arrogant conceit eventually suppresses all progressive discourse and activism, ejecting potentially revolutionary innovations and capabilities. This type of destructive factionalism is rampant in many political parties and social movements throughout the world. In periods of revolutionary lulls and reaction, it always rears its ugly head. In the current neo-liberal triumphalistic epoch, it manifests in South Africa through the inexorable fragmentation of the revolutionary left. This is because petit bourgeois opportunists always lose focus of the masses' aspirations, and obsess in replacing one enstranged and lost leadership by another, in an endless vicious cycle of factional fratricide, perpetuating the continued pauperization of the very masses they claim to represent. We need to remember that in essence, both rightist and ultra-leftist tendencies and their numerous factions are melancholic expressions of forsaking the masses. The cure therefore can only be to reconnect to the masses. Only such a revolutionary programme can unify the fragmenting revolutionary left and parties in South Africa. It is time to put an end to the sectarian approaches to revolution, and to build networks and partnerships in the masses. As the crucible of struggle smoulders on, it is critical for the South African revolutionary left to refocus their energies on synergising their actions, experiences and knowledge acquired during this period of reaction. We must start realising that continued accentuation of differences and the negative is essentially reactionary as it inevitably prolongs the struggle and confuses mass political consciousness. We need to focus on the objective of a socialist democracy, through participatory action in the masses. Let all the hundred flowers blossom, cross-pollinating towards the ideal of proletarian power. Let the differences be transformed into rich innovative approaches of revolutionary pluralism. Let us integrate the rich experiences and knowledge derived from the struggle, into a consistent revolutionary programme for the self-emancipation of the Azanian masses! Remember Africa!! Peace among the Africans!!
