You are correct Cde Gordon. However it is important to draw lessons from this experience. A revolution is driven by a mass mobilizing organization or movement, and directed by clear revolutionary theory. Two important points here are that there is no revolution without the masses, you don't frog march the masses to any stage of development, no matter how progressive it might appear; the people must be made to liberate themselves. Second point, a revolution is not accidental, it is a science. It can't be driven by anger, revenge or illusions. There must be a balance between subjective and objective factors in the cause of the revolution.
So what kind of lessons can we learn in this phenomenon? We need to get a balance between allowing cadreship development through engagement at all times on the one hand, and on the other, removing elements in the movement that negate our course. Any slight imbalance will lead us to some degree of self destruction on one end and purging on the other. The movement should quickly get rid of any one who is not able to pledge loyality and commitment to the movement and its course and immediately redefine the roles of the current personalities in the leadership. What may have been appropriate before this organizational rebirth may not be appropriate any longer. It is necessary that the NEC convenes a National General Council that will consider new tactics to wage the struggle in the new environment where former revolutionaries are deliberately in a collision course with the revolution. Let Amadelakufa remain in the Congress Movement and defend the revolution and not presidents. Amandla!!
