I find this debate interesting. The Party has been in the forefront of battles by the poor and marginalised eg the fight against credit bureaux and the Khutsong issue.
But in my honest opinion the Party has not done enough. Instead of pushing the struggle for socialism we are busy pushing capitalists to the forefront of the ANC in the hope that they will deliver socialism on a silver platter. I think it is wrong for Cosatu and SACP to be pushing JZ. He is not a communist, neither will he give us communism. He is like all the ANC neo-liberals.
I have lost confidence in the working class leadership. Apparently they want to be on JZ's side not because of his working class struggle credentials but rather they want to exploit the opportunities that will be presented by being in JZ's government.
The failure to take the resolution to contest the national elections smacks of opportunism on the part of our vanguard. Are we always content to be sharing the same bed with the neo-liberals while we preach communism to the masses.
At the opening of the ANC Policy Conference Cde Mbeki said that the Party must not delegate the socialist task to the ANC ( linked below). According to Cde Zico Tamela, SACP GP Secretary, the Party 'must not lead only the socialist revolution, it must also lead the national democratic revolution.' (article linked below)
We wont lead the socialist revolution by supporting leaders like JZ. The question remains: is the SACP still relevant to lead the workers & masses to socialism?
