Comrades An attempt to defeat an advance which seeks to pursue a tactical line using an argument that PAC or PAYCO has no policy on green energy or enegry generation fails to appreciate a tactital position that can be attained. The reason PAC and PAYCO continue to be unknown, is as a result of such fear driven methods in some cases it public phobia methods whereat leaders and members resort usage of lack of policy as the basis to justify inaction or none-action. Surely with brains at the disposal of Payco this can be used as a process to formulate a policy statement and campaigns worth to be considered at the next PAYCO congress.
Arguments advanced by Cde Lindi and Cde Sello surely do hold water thus comrades should aim towards convergence of ideas, as Mao said let the 1000 flowers blossom and thousand schools of thought contend, we cannot afford not to act, and we cannot afford to sharpen contradictions and raise hostilities among ourselves as comrades. I can only urge comrades to sieze the space and exploit it advancing a tactical line and also use this occurance to formulate an energy generation and water policy statement and campiagn on energy generation & water.
