The challenge and handicap our struggle in Zimbabwe has had is precisely the lack of a vanguard party. I have personally raised this with the YCL and the SACP.
The working class need alliances and these alliances and only be within a broader movement, and in the case of Zimbabwe it has been the MDC. It is one thing to state that the MDC is pro-west and pro-capitalist and yet another to point to specific policy documents of the MDC which make one conclude as such. Comrades, as Communists, do we listen to propaganda or we look for specific facts. I thought being a Communist calls for one to listen and read carefully rather than just going with the wind. I am throwing a challenge that says: show me a policy position document of the MDC that shows that the MDC is pro-west and pro-capitalism, further that the MDC was formed by the MI16 whoever they are. To assist, i know most say these things and yet have been or even know the website of the MDC, its www.mdc.co.zw or even the Prime Minister website www.zimbabweprimeminister.org. I am opening up shoot then! socialism is the future AMANDLA On 11/6/09, Moses <[email protected]> wrote: > Cde brendan > > Maybe as internationalist and Communist we need to help progressive cadres > both in the MDC and zanu pf to launch zimbabwe communist party. . > > the stage has been set for a true socialist zimbabwe > > Socialism is the future > > Moses ka moyo > Sent via my BlackBerry Device from Vodacom - let your email find you! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brendan Lee <[email protected]> > Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 23:26:32 > To: YCLSA Discussion Forum<[email protected]> > Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] Re: Zimbabwe -- MDC, a party of puppets > > > i have heard the same accusation laid against the MDC in that they > were set up by the Mi6. > > my personal view is that politics in Zimbabwe are in a terrible state. > > the MDC might be a pro capitalist pro west but that does not mean > there are no progressive elements. > the same can be said for ZANU-PF, which clearly is not a party that > acts to help the majority. but again > there are progressive elements within it that we must support > > as the south African left i think the most productive thing we can do > is fight for a communist party in > Zimbabwe without controlling it. > A question i would be interested to have answered by Ian beddowes is > this.
