Comrades, Don't you think that: 1.The SACP should review its position on Nationalisation before the 2012 conference.Anyway which SACP meeting has come up with a formal position in that regard. 2. Comrades serving within the ANC should come up with SACP positions that should reflect their strategic objectives than to try to impress anyone at the expense of the revolution. In any event any decisive development is a result of inherent contradictions within the development process.The Thesis,Antithesis and Synthesis.Shouldn't we come with our extreme left positions that will be opposed by the supposedly right wing comonents within the alliance in order to settle for the compromised position that we already pre-determined.
I'm saying this because evidently, the nationalisation issue is going to be a resolutiuon in 2012, come rain come sunshine, and i for one I wouldn't really defend a position that is contrary to that. I mean if we are anti-pritavatisation, as that is our position, then what are we pro? Obvoiusly, that translates to being pro-natioalisation. Now the rightwingers are obviously gaining some ground and before we can lose any, lets relook at the nationalisation issue. Comrade Mantashe should also take a more radical issue in steering the ANC, because I mean take a look at most of his pronouncements....they suck...he's like appeasing capital..we shouldn't deny the fact that the ANC remains in favour of capital that the poor. Now what I'm trying to say is that a charperson of the SACP serving as a GS of the ANC should reflect an SACP stance within the ANC, or we'll face unceremonious demise. WE ARE THE COMMUNISTS OF THIS LAND AND WE SHOULD REFLECT SUCH. ITS THE WORKING CLASS HEGEMONY WITHIN THE STATE APPARATUS. SOCIALISM IS THE FUTURE.BUILD IT NOW. STARTING RIGHT NOW.
