*The youth and the revolution* * SACP General Secretary, Cde Blade Nzimande, address at:*
*Young Communist League of South Africa’s Youth Rally, 3 July 2016, Johannesburg* Our clarion call must be that our institutions of learning across the board must be transformed and not destroyed! Given the tasks we have just outlined, as well as the threat of depoliticisation of our members and cadres, the Young Communist League will have to up its game in the provision of political education amongst young workers, students and unemployed youth, with a particular focus on leadership. The SACP can think of no more urgent a matter than the need to intensify political education amongst the youth. No matter what difficulties that maybe faced by young people today, our youth is not the problem but an asset. If properly mobilised, the youth can serve as a vehicle to solve many of the problems facing society. ______________________________________________________ This therefore means Communist University as a Political Education, platform (electronic classes, i.e. google group and its contact classes, i.e. every Wednesdays) needs to play its central role on this question of Political Education much more, than before. The call by the General Secretary of the Party of all of us, to take up political education much more seriously in order ready/armed ourselves to confront what cde Blade called the triple challenges (at the JHB City hall)... "Corporate capture, factionalism and depoliticisation are usually mutually reinforcing. Parasites need factionalists in order to accumulate through captured leaders and organisations. Factionalists in turn need both the resources in the hands of the parasites in order to fund their factionalist activities, as well as a depoliticised membership used as voting cannon fodder. If we fail to break and defeat this vicious cycle, our revolution will die and so will your future as young South Africans." I am sure all revolutionaries will as soon as it is opportune embark on this Clarion call of Political Education as directed, with fail. Sibusiso Mchunu -- -- You are subscribed.
