Zimbabwe: The essence of the Liberation struggle, lessons learned (continued)
26 Dec 2016 at 15:04hrs | Views
In the 1960s and 70s the Liberation agenda was based on the following aspects: equitable distribution of resources, one man one vote, equal employment opportunities, all races equal before the Law and human rights being key and finally the last aspect was "collective ownership " a communist concept that was a fallacy and a deceptive concept as far as human nature is concerned.
It was a crafted concept by exploiters that could have served very well in the engineering of struggles as it motivated people in terms of determination and preparedness to fight and get control of their destiny to that promised world of fantasy and hallucinations. I say this because humans are born capitalist and would never share ownership of what they worked and achieved as individuals.
When we got independence in 1980 it was a different story to what people were made to believe during the Liberation struggle instead "black elitism' took over to replace the white one that had existed over years. So what do you believe in now? in politics and economics as a black creature.?
We need to start pondering over these issues that concern our destiny or we become fossilized over political statements such as ," we are all in this together " as expressed by most British Premiers when they get into power and African leaders too. Quite interesting.
