The media is going to be humiliated - Nzimande

Blither blather:

Communist cadres to the front! For an overwhelming ANC victory and the defence of our revolution!

The year 2009 is indeed upon us. Like the years since 1994, our revolution is faced with a contradictory reality of seeking to advance, deepen and consolidate a radical national democratic revolution on a terrain of the dominance of the capitalist system, globally and domestically. Capitalist domination, by its very nature poses a serious obstacle to the attainment of the many goals of our democracy, especially the struggle to overcome class, gender and racial inequalities.

In fact when the ANC achieves its overwhelming electoral victory in a few months, the biggest loser is not going to be the opposition parties, including the Gang of 3, but South African mainstream media! It will be caught flatfooted and humiliated in the same way that it was by the outcomes of the ANC's Polokwane Conference in December 2007.

Communists: Contradicting reality every day.

I still fail to grasp how a Communist organization can talk about the attainment and protection of our democracy.

Democracy and Communism are two entirely different political viewpoints. This in itself should be a clear indication to the voters that what is being spouted daily by the tripartite alliance is a load of cock and bull. They actually have no clue what they stand for.

Sadly, the people this cock and bull is aimed at do not understand the difference between communism and democracy.

I hoped that by 2009 AIDS would have taken care of Communist. Dammit, evolution needs to evolve.

Communists vs the mainstream media. Take each other down for all I care

our revolution is faced with a contradictory reality

This is exactly why terrorists/freedom fighters make terrible politicians. They were good at ending Apartheid, not so good at governing a country.

See this is the reason Helen Zille will never become president of SA, her biggest supporters simply don't get it and continues to question the intelligence of the ANC core supporters when the DA should be going in there like gangbusters and move their constituency beyond the token support.

The problem I and many others have with Blade, if you can look past the Stalinist rhetoric, and most of the Alliance leadership is that they were not popularly elected so one thus can't say whether their words carry much weight. He'll say all crazy things but without a mandate these declarations are nothing more than empty words...and he you check carefully he is not making any policy suggestions(because I suspect he doesn't have a clue about economics beyond what he has read in communist manuals.

LOL. Was watching Bill O'Reilly last night and it didn't take long for him(since Obama's inaugeration) to get back on his favourite past time- bashing the MSM.

Why is the website of the SA Communist Party copyrighted if they believe in socialism?

Could you please explain the contradiction between copyrighting and socialism ?

Idiots, the lot of them.

I love how a communist group can align itself with a party that thrives on rampant capitalism (GEAR, BB-BEE, macro-economic policy anyone?).

The media & opposition parties are not accountable to him.

copyright = I own it, not you
socialism = we all own it and share it

copyright is a tool of capitalism and a trigger for disparity and possible class distinction

Ok, makes sense.

 

[Balstrome]

capitalism = making stuff
socialism = sharing what exists
