RE: [PAYCO] Need for serious introspection: What to do to advance the struggle?
Comrade Linda The five (5) questions you raised haunts many within the party amidst the silence. Hopes about the party continues to be dashed and short lived by persisting misfortunes that overwhelms the party and its membership. However, one political reality is that the party is faced with a two line ideological struggle, one political thought seeks to re-organise the PAC along Marxist-Leninist traditions to assume and advance a mass based revolutionary programme rooted on socialist principles which places the African Workers as the only motive force to overthrow the capitalist and white supremacist system, that's has assumed a neo-colonial character. The other second political thought and practice is the one which seeks to subject the PAC into the current neo-liberal agenda, whereat the PAC serves as an extension and part of the neo-colonial system on the ground that the freedom fought for had been achieved and there is an African Government that must be supported. Sadly, the PAC today is led by proponents of the second political thought, hence in the Y-Analysis made by Cde Mashoa, he has has avidly pointed that Many of our young comrades and the so-called middle class, are held hostage by this money group. It provides them crumbs enough to survive and to keep them tools for their cause. It is the money'ed group which we opted to describe and define as a comprador bourgeoisie which has successfully captured the PAC and it remains directly responsible for its current state of political and organisational disintegration aiming to destroy and kill from PAC's organisational practices the existence and presence of revolutionary practices. The ideological decay and the political rot thus organisational disintegration has unfortunately being cascaded to across all party structures including component structures, hence parallel structures. Equally, the very same comprador bourgeoisie are redefining the PAC to become an African nationalist capitalist political formation which will argue good governance slogan as is the case with other neo-liberal political parties. Constitutionally PAC has no NEC! Thus no-one and no group can claim to be constitutionally a PAC NEC! All the conferences organised by the now two feuding NEC groupings, namely Moloto's NEC grouping is organising September 2014 Conference while Mpthi NEC Grouping is organising December 2014 Conference, these conferences aims at consolidating factional group's interests than forging principled unity of PAC members and branches, hence our view that PAC branches and members should denounce such events and starts on building principled party unity starting from branch level to inclusive regional and provincial conferences. We must accept that PAC members had been successfully turned against each, in a manner never seen before! This occurrences was bound to occur, we have however underestimated its actual capacity of political and ideological destruction. They have achieved in less 24 months, what CIA, MOSSAD, MI0 and other instruments of imperialism combined failed to achieve, that is, total destruction of PAC! I suggest, if you will agree that your five questions, be subjected to an in-depth analysis and deliberations, for in these questions resides only primary question What Is To Be Done? Above all the comprador bourgeoisie leading the three feuding NEC groupings will not subject themselves to any form of democratic centralism, they do not seek an orderly and normal PAC!

Revolutionary greetings! Comrades one is confronted by serious personal questions as to the role one should play in the struggle in view of the current state of the PAC in response to the country's political statues quo. The state of the party continues to cripples our contribution and role in the struggle to emancipate our people. We are unable to use our talents, skills, intellectual capital and passion for politics for the benefit of our cause. The leadership wrangles in the party has frustrated us the youth in terms of growth and being nurtured for

Good day Cdes This is almost quite a telling account where those who have muscled their way in shaping up the movement stand face to face with calling it quits. There definitely is a way of furthering a programme outside its own home. It is with regret that the answers to most of these questions asked by Cde Linda are in the affirmative or negative where applicable if we are to be honest with ourselves and with the crux of the revolution. When a movement abandons its own revolutionary programme people are most likely to identify it or something close to it elsewhere. In an attempt to oversimplify issues,currently the principles of the movement are more pronounced elsewhere that within the movement itself. Owing to political opportunism,some within our ranks despise any grouping that does a better job of what we purport to be doing, and some do laud any point of view that is closer to ours without giving regard where it comes from. We cannot acclaim ourselves the only contenders in delivering the people into total liberation. Quitting a movement has a potential of being an anchor to new frontiers while it is also true that it can replicate the same dynamics you may be trying to avoid at your former political home. I do not by any means assume that the left branch of the Y intersection suggests an exodus,nor do I encourage it to stay and await better days, in fact we need to give steroids to the lot aligned with this direction because it dares to redirect the movement. I however survey that we should assess our history within the movement with calculated suspcion that if we could not be a force to be reckoned with while inside the paradigm, we should expect no miracles outside the paradigm. The Africanist Movement was no mean membership within the Congress, it had a lot of cogency and this was noticeable both inside and outside the Congress as it was further afield.In the recent times, without debating their grades and merits,the EFF contigent was a remarkable body of opinion within the ANCYL and because of their caustic proportions even the dire disciplinary measures meted out against them had no destructive element against their political work,it even had more spin offs from the black consciousness and the youthful PAC proponents because they were no newcomers to agitation. Again this is no pilgrimage to the EFF but we have seen splits and splinters in the PAC supported by the same arguments as provided currently yet we haven't seen any offering of a different magnitude afterwards, so this method has proven itself, not once not twice, a non-event. I want to encourage the left branch of the Y intersection to use their talents (amongst other things) to overwhelm the condition currently prevalent in the Pan Africanist fold, they already have our support.So M-Afrika Matome,here is a tongue-in-cheek comment from myself,I am one of those who have a political crush on the EFF but I am not blinded by the fact that the 5 aims and objectives of the PAC are far from their scope of work.
