"ARMED STRUGGLE: THE ONLY WAY FORWARD" says ANONYMOUS ANALYST.

MDC CONFERENCE (HARARE). THE TIME FOR CONFERENCES OVER??

The contributor was responding to my article esp the one on "THE ZIMBABWE INTELLIGENCE FORCES AND THE ZIMBABWE CRISIS"

The idea of an armed input into the present crisis is shunned by many who individually view any such suggestion through contemporary eyes that are unskilled, untrained and often fearful eyes.

We must be mindful and sensitive that previous experience of war / violence and a desire for self preservation has created in the national psyche a sense of extreme fright, individualism and selfishness which is SUSPICIOUS OF CONFRONTATION, AND VIEWS IT AS A GENERALISED WAVE OF MINDLESS DESTRUCTION.

Thus many Zimbabweans are more predisposed to the opposite yet still dangerous extreme of allowing gross abuses rather than resisting them.

When this outwardly noble yet wholly dangerous version of an extremist pacifist tendency is coupled with

1) Individual fear which has bred in many a deep-rooted sense of selfishness that normalizes and justifies a state of high moral cowardice and indifference in the face of gross wrong doing

2) The paternalistic culture of Africa with its entrenched states of denial and unquestioning deference to those in power no matter how bad / destructive they are,

3) The short-sighted life aspirations of many Zimbabweans solely based on chasing the fraudulent ideal of Western capitalist consumer culture and material gain. A mindset which lacks any sense of long term national vision,

4) A corrupt religious dogma that asks the bloodied and starved masses to shun brains and common sense, in favour of raising money and waiting for Jesus to come and solve their maltreatment

5) A misused socialist ideology that has systematically spread fear in the populace by treating all civil and human rights as enemies of the State ,

6) A conniving and manipulative neo-liberal doctrine of passivity and ‘NON-VIOLENT STRUGGLE’ against all vicious dictatorship.

You are left with a critical mass within the population wholly incapable, unwilling and unable to cope with the forces of tyranny and dictatorship ranged against them.

The NEO-LIBERAL take over of the Zimbabwean struggle under the guise of certain colours of DEMOCRATIC FORCES is especially vicious as it forms the back bone of political opposition to the DICTATORSHIP and thus should be carefully noted.

Here CORPORATIST INTERSTS have sold the lie that Zimbabwe’s crisis is all about ECONOMICS rather than a power struggle against TYRANNY, in the form of the people of Zimbabwe versus an incompetent and errant guerrilla movement that took all the trappings of governance without having any real skills or abilities to govern beyond the imposition of brute force. And foreign powers that have funded figures and groups in Zimbabwe to oppose the so called government (DICTATORSHIP).

In this ill-shaped paradigm physical self defense by the Zimbabwe population against regime brutality is tarred as a NEGATIVE and is called VIOLENCE. Not natural defiance to a life threatening event, or self defense.

Thus in Zimbabwe all protest is promoted under the unnatural and unrealistic banner of understanding regime brutality or NON-VIOLENCE, not because the advocates believe in peace, nor because of the lie they tell that people fighting back against DICTATORSHIP will increase Zimbabwe’s suffering…

MURAMBATSVINA was not resisted by the so called opposition, because it was a money spinner in terms of donor funds and the retail value on all the cleared land in prime urban development spots. Zimbabwean refugees make cheap labour for the SADC economies and allow for all kinds of NGOs to get paid.

After nearly 10 years of destruction no genuine opposition to the DICTATORSHIP exists, no NEW LEADERSHIP with new solutions has been pushed to emerge, just the same dead wood. Any who have tried to put forward new ideas have met a ‘brick wall’ of indifference and hidden agendas within these so called DEMOCRATIC GROUPS.

So why is it that the idea of non- violent protest (no self defense in the face of the DICTATORSHIP’S brutality), being touted as the only answer when it has proved to be so ineffectual?

Because a passive population will not QUESTION the SICK DIVERSION being staged at their expense, nor resist the inevitable corporate take over when the ZANU / OPPOSITION political hegemony arrives, as the SOLUTION to all their woes, whereas a militant population properly lead will do so.

These so called DEMOCRATIC FORCES set themselves up as THE ANSWER for the people, yet offer only compromise when the crisis requires TOTAL OVERTHROW of the CORRUPT SYSTEM and replacement with a genuinely progressive alternative.

Time and again they have been exposed as inept thinkers who have received millions in donor funds but who have created naught.

No honest national plan, or policies or liberation strategies, or social safety net.
Just a program of corporate looting called reconstruction created from the political / economic interests of their foreign backers.

In short these are agents, political middle men, a new breed of paid bureaucrats and overseers for foreign corporate masters hoping to use severe national collapse and increased public suffering and death and desperation as a means to seize political power and gain its associated economic perks....(the Zimbabwean economy will remain foreign owned and controlled).
