&lt;h3&gt;A dish of Bailout with a side of pork, shareholders vaporized by Derivatives Death-Star, We all await the financial markets implosion, No problems solved by the bailout, Stay prepared for a full shutdown of the financial system with some cash on hand, Credit default swaps unregulated point in the chain &lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;Well, what a surprise, we&amp;#39;ve been sold down the river for the usual &amp;quot;thirty pieces of silver&amp;quot; by our Congress and our President, working together in unison, for the nth time. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;The $700 billion bailout, a mere sideshow, sweetened with 150 billion in pork, has now been approved so that Wall Street can continue to game the system and its hapless suckers, the American sheople. &amp;nbsp;Just put some pork in, and the hungry piranha in Congress would legislate their own mothers into slavery for a nice juicy morsel of that pork. &amp;nbsp;And never mind the moral hazard dripping from the pork, because that makes it taste all the sweeter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;If you were wondering why all the healthier financial institutions, and of course we say that with tongue-in-cheek because we know they are all eventually slated for destruction by the explosive blast of a Quadrillion Dollar Derivative Death-Star, were buying all the gargantuan commercial and investment banks that are laden with toxic waste, you now have your answer. &amp;nbsp;This is why all the shareholders in these zombie-acquisition deals are getting vaporized. &amp;nbsp;Their assets were more valuable than they thought, because unbeknownst to them, the US government was about to pay far more for these assets than they were worth. &amp;nbsp;But since the shareholders were not Illuminists, they were not privy to this information. &amp;nbsp;And look at the disgrace with Citibank and Wachovia. &amp;nbsp;After Citigroup wipes out the Wachovia shareholders, with the help of the FDIC, suddenly Wells Fargo, which now sees the value of all of Wachovia&amp;#39;s crap paper via the Paulson Ponzi-Plan, comes through with a better offer. &amp;nbsp;The Wachovia shareholders should attack Citigroup based on their fraudulent balance sheets, because they were in no position to acquire anything on this scale, or any other scale for that matter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;The Illuminist insiders were all told in advance that Wall Street&amp;#39;s Excellent Bailout Bonanza would be stuffed down the throats of gullible US taxpayers. &amp;nbsp;Note how many of these zombie-acquisition-deals were done before the bailout plan was even proposed on September 20. &amp;nbsp;As you can see, the masters of the universe are so arrogant that they were willing to bet hundreds of billions of dollars that the Paulson Ponzi-Plan would be successfully shoved up our collective butts by our bought-and-paid-for-or-compromised government &amp;quot;representatives,&amp;quot; so-called, despite the hue and cry of the sheople against this monstrosity, sometimes by as much as 300 to 1. &amp;nbsp;All that cesspool paper that they now own by virtue of these zombie-acquisition-deals is very valuable to them. &amp;nbsp;It will be sold to the government for far more than it is worth so that financial institutions around the world can somehow pretend that the losses are far less than they really are. &amp;nbsp;And never mind that everyone in the world knows this stuff is crap, because we will all now have some sort of collective pipedream in the United Goldilocks Matrix. &amp;nbsp;We can just see Hank and Ben firing up the pods and installing the everything-will-turn-out-juuuust-right software, so we can all pretend that the credit-crunch never happened. &amp;nbsp;We will just ignore it. &amp;nbsp;This is another Illuminist fantasy that will turn out about as well as their subprime scam.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;Of course, the reality is, whether this cesspool paper worth pennies on the dollar is sold for its hold-to-maturity value or for some lesser, but still outrageously exaggerated, figure, the sheople will eat just about everything they pay out for this toxic garbage via the bailout plan. &amp;nbsp;This stuff is crap even under current conditions, which are worsening by the minute. &amp;nbsp;Just imagine what this stuff will be worth as the real estate markets, and the value of our new collateral, continue to fade off into the sunset while we enter into the Very Large Depression, which is now insured to happen by virtue of the Paulson Ponzi-Plan. &amp;nbsp;And how much less will it be worth as the rate of return on this garbage gets buried by the upcoming double-digit interest rates that will be born out of the hyperinflation generated by all these bailouts, thus reducing its present value quite drastically. &amp;nbsp;Then throw in the proposed government workouts, complete with interest rate reductions and cram-downs, just for good measure, and that ten cents on the dollar paper that we paid thirty, forty or fifty cents on the dollar for, will soon become worthless. &amp;nbsp;Making matters even worse, all this toxic waste will be sold by select Illuminist institutions at what will be sham &amp;quot;arranged&amp;quot; auctions where everyone gets to sell what they want for the price they want, as long as they are Illuminist insiders. &amp;nbsp;Everyone else can of course go scratch. &amp;nbsp;With Hanky Panky as the real, unsupervised or rubber-stamped auctioneer, you can bet that we, the sheople, will be taken to the Illuminati&amp;#39;s slaughterhouse to be sliced up into some prime cuts for the elitist carnivores. &amp;nbsp;Mutton chops anyone? &amp;nbsp;Dinner is now served, complete with caviar and champagne. &amp;nbsp;Bon appetite.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;The Illuminati will now act like drunken sailors at a keg party. &amp;nbsp;They will drain the keg in short order, and then ask for more. &amp;nbsp;If they do not get what they want, they will get rowdy, pounding the tables with their mugs and threatening a brawl that will destroy the tavern if they do not get their next round, pronto. &amp;nbsp;Out comes the next keg, which gets drained even faster than the first because everyone is inebriated, and the next round of table pounding and threats becomes manifest. &amp;nbsp;This process will proceed until everyone at the party has more than they can handle and passes out. &amp;nbsp;Then comes the derivatives tsunami that will drown them all in a sea of counterparty risk, an event which will be used to usher in a new Orwellian, corporatist fascist state, where the financial, manufacturing and other major industries are all nationalized. &amp;nbsp;We, and our European and Canadian counterparts, will all then resemble our fellow fascists, Marxists and dictators in Russia, in China, in the Middle East, in Asia and in South America, and the formation of world government will seem like the most the most natural thing to do, when everyone is on the same page, after the pesky, arrogant United States has been humbled into submission.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;As we mentioned, this Excellent Bailout Bonanza, this Paulson Ponzi-Plan, is just a sideshow to distract everyone from the real issue, which is of course the Derivative Death-Star, with a Quadrillion Dollar mass that is about to implode, detonate, and morph into a financial black hole that will suck the entire world economy into its dark, massive, foreboding center. &amp;nbsp;The subprime debacle is just one of the many fuses leading into the gargantuan derivatives powder keg. &amp;nbsp;The subprime paper to be auctioned is little more than a catalyst for the creation of the real disaster, which are the credit-default swaps and interest rate swaps, an entangled, Byzantine labyrinth of opaque, unregulated counterparty risk that will be ignited by continuing corporate bankruptcies and double-digit interest rates that will be created by a hyper-inflated economy awash in bailout dollars which the Fed will have created out of thin air.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;Foreign nations with dollar forex cannot possibly keep buying all the treasuries that will have to be created to fund all these bailouts because they are all experiencing rampant inflation, and printing more of their own domestic currencies to absorb the dollars necessary to purchase treasuries is no longer possible without risking social upheaval and revolution as hyperinflation destroys their economies. &amp;nbsp;This means that some, or even most, of the new treasuries that will be created by the Treasury and the Fed to fund the bailouts and deficits will have to be monetized, which is immediately inflationary. &amp;nbsp;M3 is about to explode as these many monetizations and the Fed&amp;#39;s trillions in liquidity injections continue to flood the fiat money and credit system, which will continue in its cryogenic state despite the Paulson Ponzi-Plan that will now be implemented in an attempt to re-inflate the credit markets, which are the lifeblood of our debt-based, fiat money system, thanks to the cessation of the gold standard. &amp;nbsp; Everyone on Wall Street knows that the subprime paper is not the real problem. &amp;nbsp;The real reason they distrust one another, and will not lend to one another, is the unknown counterparty risk that will go into a plasma state when the Derivative Death-Star detonates. &amp;nbsp;It is the opaque, unregulated OTC derivatives market that they are really afraid of.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;Due to the fact that you have 70 or more trillion of credit default swaps insuring 5 trillion in bonds, a ten billion dollar loss by a large corporation can on average morph into a 140 billion disaster of epic proportions that could wipe out several other companies, whose own credit-default swap counterparty risk would then ignite, in a chain reaction reminiscent of a thermonuclear explosion. &amp;nbsp;Remember, credit default swaps are not true derivatives with a zero net sum. &amp;nbsp;They are insurance policies. &amp;nbsp;But unlike most insurance, there are no regulators or loss reserves, thanks to Slick Willie Clinton and the Congress, which passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act in 2000. &amp;nbsp;Worse yet, they can be used to insure property which the insured party does not even own. &amp;nbsp;Hence, you can see why everyone trembles at the thought of this radioactive sector going thermonuclear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;Did you see how the stock market received the Paulson Ponzi-Plan? &amp;nbsp;They used it as an opportunity to de-leverage, which is pretty much all it was good for, and the Dow was taken to a new low in the process. &amp;nbsp;No problems have been solved, and we will continue on to our ignominious destiny with recession, depression, and a third world Banana Republic standing where we are all but irrelevant to the world economy. &amp;nbsp; No one will have anything but worthless paper to spend for foreign tangible goods. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size="2"&gt;Americans and Europeans are too stupid to understand the necessity of owning precious metals under these disastrous circumstances, and they will have little of value to trade for the tangible goods exported by the world&amp;#39;s manufacturing economies, who have taken over America&amp;#39;s role as the lead producer thanks to free trade, globalization, off-shoring, outsourcing and both legal and illegal immigration. &lt;strong&gt;The main purpose of the IF is to wise these dolts up, and save them from the planned destruction of our economy at the hands of the Illuminati. &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;This situation is survivable, but advance notice and preparation are the key to success. &amp;nbsp;Gold and silver are the only remedy for what now ails our nation, and nations around the world. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The most recent bail out proposal follows earlier hand outs to mortgage lending companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the buy out of &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_2 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"&gt;major insurance companies&lt;/SPAN&gt;. The failure by the US Congress to approve it led to the biggest ever single day's fall in US stock prices. And yet, it is far from clear that the bail out package, even if approved, would actually succeed in "stabilizing" the crisis-ridden financialised global capitalist system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;What lies behind this crisis of global capitalism? And what implications does it have for workers and the poor in South Africa?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;In Volume III of Capital, Marx demonstrated why capitalism is unable to develop along a path of uninterrupted expansion, and instead always evolves in cycles of booms and busts. Because the system is essentially anarchic, during periods of boom it is driven by a feeding frenzy of individualized expansion into new areas of activity. &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Inevitably after time this includes areas where the underlying productive activity is unable to sustain profitability. The cycle turns and a huge competitive struggle ensues to determine which capitals must be destroyed to allow the system to re-create itself in another cycle of expansion. &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Capitalist globalization since the 1990s has seen what has been called&lt;STRONG&gt; "financialisation"&lt;/STRONG&gt; of investment.&amp;nbsp;Facilitated by the introduction of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), capital has built the capacity to move from one investment to another in any part of the globe virtually at the press of a button. In this environment new &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_3&gt;financial institutions&lt;/SPAN&gt; and new practices have emerged, located principally in the United States as the corporate headquarters of &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_4&gt;global finance capital&lt;/SPAN&gt;. &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;"Leveraging"&lt;/STRONG&gt; (meaning extending credit to a value several times that of underlying assets) and &lt;STRONG&gt;"derivative trading"&lt;/STRONG&gt; (meaning repackaging real assets into financial assets in various forms) have been the basis on which enormous profits have been accumulated in recent years. Yet this has become further and further removed from the productive base of all wealth and accumulation in the "real" economy of manufacturing, agriculture and productive services, meaning that the engine room of capitalist accumulation has increasingly become in the words of Cde Fidel Castro &lt;STRONG&gt;"the casino economy"&lt;/STRONG&gt; of trading in &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_5&gt;financial instruments&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Both these elements are essential to understand the current crisis. At its onset, orthodox financial commentators told us that the origin of the crisis was problems in the&lt;STRONG&gt; "sub prime" housing mortgage market in the US&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;It is now evident, even to vulgar commentators, that this explanation is wholly inadequate and that the "sub prime" mortgage issue was a mere symptom of a much more profound phenomenon. Essentially during the upswing,&lt;STRONG&gt; financialised capital&lt;/STRONG&gt; penetrated into a whole range of activities that would otherwise have been considered "risky". Marshalling arguments located in the ideology of neo-liberalism and &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_6&gt;market fundamentalism&lt;/SPAN&gt;, &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_7 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;finance capital&lt;/SPAN&gt; resisted calls for regulation and instead asserted its&lt;STRONG&gt; unfettered "right"&lt;/STRONG&gt; to "leverage" all kinds of financial instruments off "risky" underlying assets, as well as create "derivatives" of various kinds. &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;This kind of activity, it is now apparent, has affected (and infected) large parts of the system – not just in the US but also in Europe and Asia. Whether we are yet at the bottom of the cycle, or whether any of the proposed bail outs will have any impact remains to be seen. The crisis has already taken its toll on supposed icons of US banking (like &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_8 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;Lehman Brothers&lt;/SPAN&gt;) and the institution of &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_9 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;investment banks&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; (banks that do not take deposits).&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;What then does this mean for us in South Africa?&lt;/FONT&gt; A phase of capitalist downswing&lt;/STRONG&gt; always implies&lt;STRONG&gt; contraction in production and employment.&lt;/STRONG&gt; This, moreover, is always an uneven process across the imperialist chain. Thus far, South Africa and &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_10&gt;Africa&lt;/SPAN&gt; have been partly shielded by the rise of the so-called "Global South" (China, India, &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_11&gt;Brazil&lt;/SPAN&gt;) as significant &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_12&gt;economic powers&lt;/SPAN&gt;. Industrial development in these countries continues to be minerals intensive and this has fueled high prices for mineral products. Thus far, these countries have experienced the impact of the global crisis as &lt;STRONG&gt;relatively small declines in very high growth rates.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;In policy terms&lt;/FONT&gt;, this must surely be a major reason why we need to  prioritise deepening our relations with these countries and insisting on continuing to diversify our trade relations.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Thus far, too,&lt;STRONG&gt; South African financial institutions&lt;/STRONG&gt; have been spared the worst of "contagion" from the crisis in the US. Interestingly, The Business Times of 21 September attributed this partly to &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;"exchange control"&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; which meant&lt;STRONG&gt; "there is a healthy degree of trapped liquidity within the financial system". &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;But, there still remain serious risks.&lt;STRONG&gt; Continued downturn&lt;/STRONG&gt; could &lt;STRONG&gt;further depress production across the world,&lt;/STRONG&gt; including in the countries of the "&lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_13&gt;Global South&lt;/SPAN&gt;". Moreover, &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_14 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;Morgan Stanley&lt;/SPAN&gt; has warned that&lt;STRONG&gt; capital flows to "emerging markets"&lt;/STRONG&gt; could be cut by a quarter in 2009 –&lt;STRONG&gt; as capital seeks to exit perceived "risky investments".&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;South Africa could find itself significantly impacted on by the latter, as we &lt;STRONG&gt;have relied on inflows of short term foreign capital ("&lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_15 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed"&gt;hot money&lt;/SPAN&gt;")&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;to fund the deficit on the current account of the &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_16&gt;balance of payments&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; (meaning we continue to import more goods and services than we export).&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;In immediate policy terms, this would suggest that that &lt;STRONG&gt;the drive to incrementally lift exchange controls needs to be revisited,&lt;/STRONG&gt; that &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;we must ensure that "leveraging" and "derivative trading" by South African &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_17&gt;financial institutions&lt;/SPAN&gt; is properly and effectively regulated, and that we urgently take steps to reduce our dependence on short term foreign capital. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;In the longer run&lt;/STRONG&gt;, &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;the current crisis of financialised global capitalism&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; must surely become &lt;STRONG&gt;a rallying cry to redouble our efforts to end a system in which the lives and destinies of working people and the poor across the world&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;are held hostage to a handful of speculators in &lt;SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1222898532_18 style="CURSOR: hand;

&lt;td align="right"&gt; &lt;p class="byline"&gt;First published 09/23/2008 17:20 by {article_topic_desc} &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bush, Paulson make Dellinger look like a Boy Scout&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As the Bush administration attempts to ram a bailout package of nearly one trillion dollars through Congress, it begins to feel like Colonel Sanders asking the public to trust him to take care of the chickens. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;If it weren't so damn serious, there would be something almost comical about it. Here we have the White House, which has squandered trillions of dollars over eight years, and its point man, Hank Paulson, fresh from 38 years of gaming the financial system while working at Goldman Sachs, insisting that Congressional leaders hand over a trillion dollars to them with no debate and no strings attached. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In this real life drama, Bush and Paulson make John Dillinger, the legendary bank robber of the Depression years, look like a Boy Scout. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nothing to do with socialism&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is not "socialism for the rich," as some have suggested. Socialist measures would thoroughly clean up and stabilize the financial system to be sure, but a socialist-led government would also place the good as well as the bad assets of the responsible parties (commercial and investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds) into the hands of a public democratically run authority. It would turn the Federal Reserve Bank, which during the Greenspan era was one of the main architects and cheerleaders of bubble economics (hi-tech, stock market and, its latest version, housing) into a publicly controlled institution. And it would bring those responsible to trial and penalize them appropriately, if convicted. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;At the same time, a socialist-led government and its congressional allies would funnel money to homeowners and working people and enact special measures to assist communities of the racially oppressed, not to mention our rural towns. It would rebuild our nation's deteriorating infrastructure, invest in renewable energy and green jobs, and bring the Iraq war to a quick end. It would also propose the people's takeover of the energy complex, which has also turned into a cash cow of the wealthiest corporations. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use common sense&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does it make any sense to give control of our financial and economic system for the indefinite future to the same individuals, who while gaming the system, got us into this mess in the first place? I can't think of anything that is less democratic or goes against the grain of common sense. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In the money and banking textbooks that I read years ago, our financial institutions and system supposedly channeled idle money to productive uses – to new technologies and business startups, to build homes and create jobs, to invest in new plant and equipment, and to construct and renew our nation's infrastructure, while extracting handsome profits all the while. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Looking back, it is fair to say that banks and investment houses did perform this function for a period in capitalism's development, but that period has largely passed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Finance capital's rise and ultra-right rule&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Indeed, with the rise to dominance of the extreme right and the reassertion of power by finance capital three decades ago, &lt;strong&gt;our financial system has operated&lt;/strong&gt; more or less &lt;strong&gt;independently of other sectors of the economy&lt;/strong&gt;, functioned largely &lt;strong&gt;free of any regulatory body, and grown exponentially. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finance capital&lt;/strong&gt; – in its quest to maximize its rate of profit – has drained dollars &lt;strong&gt;from the private economy&lt;/strong&gt; (especially the manufacturing sector) and &lt;strong&gt;the public treasury&lt;/strong&gt; into incredibly risky and speculative financial schemes; it has spawned a series of complex financial instruments and paper transactions which few understand, but fabulously enrich the buyers and borrowers of these exotic instruments, most of which have nothing to do with the real economy. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finance capital&lt;/strong&gt; has facilitated megamergers, takeovers and corporate flight to off shore locations; it has wreaked havoc on sovereign states and their economies, particularly in the developing world; it has without as much as a thought introduced enormous instability into the arteries of the U.S. and world economy, evidenced by the frequent financial contagions at home and globally. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;And, it has been one of &lt;strong&gt;the main class agents&lt;/strong&gt; to successfully &lt;strong&gt;engineer the biggest transfer of wealth in our nation's history from wealth creators -- the world's working people -- to wealth appropriators, the upper crust of U.S. finance capital&lt;/strong&gt;, while leaving at the same time our nation with&lt;strong&gt; an astronomical pile up of household, government and corporate debt&lt;/strong&gt; that cannot be unwound overnight. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In short,&lt;strong&gt; the reassertion of finance capital&lt;/strong&gt; to a dominant position in the political economy of our country, which was only possible because of the right wing dominance of our nation's political levers of power, has come &lt;strong&gt;at a heavy price for the American people and people worldwide. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Clinging onto power&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And yet, despite this incredible wreckage, this almost incomprehensible corruption, this reckless speculation, these merchants of plunder, debt and hardship &lt;strong&gt;are still attempting to resolve this financial crisis&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;in a way that continues to leave them in charge of the main levers of power and their wealth intact. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;As I said earlier,&lt;strong&gt; this is not socialism&lt;/strong&gt;. A more apt description is&lt;strong&gt; parasitic state monopoly-finance capitalism&lt;/strong&gt;. According to marxism, &lt;strong&gt;the main mission of the state is&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to reproduce the conditions for the reproduction of the class structure and economic relations of capitalism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; If I am not mistaken, isn't this precisely what Bush, Paulson and team are doing now? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arena of struggle&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, marxism also says that &lt;strong&gt;the&amp;nbsp;state &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;is an arena of struggle&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. While the ruling class employs the state apparatus, including violence when necessary, to impose its interests on society, &lt;strong&gt;a united working class and people can successfully resist these measures from within as well as outside state structures&lt;/strong&gt;. This was done in the 1930s and in so doing, secured important victories for the nation's working class and its allies. It was also done in the 1960s and in doing so brought down the system of legal segregation. And we see it again today in the incredible efforts of millions of working people of all races and nationalities and their allies to elect Barack Obama and larger Democratic Party Congressional majorities in November. Indeed, it is a task that takes on even greater significance given the financial storm that is shaking our country. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;For the moment however, &lt;strong&gt;the American people and their friends in Congress&lt;/strong&gt; are faced with &lt;strong&gt;a first class challenge&lt;/strong&gt; – &lt;strong&gt;to impose their own imprint on the way in which this financial crisis is resolved.&lt;/strong&gt; Let's have no doubt that &lt;strong&gt;our financial system can be stabilized and restored to its orderly functioning in a way that meets the needs of the American people and our country. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;But will take a fight! &lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sam Webb is chairperson of the Communist Party.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Send Comments:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="mailto:pww@pww.org"&gt;pww@pww.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="mailto:cpusa@cpusa.org"&gt;cpusa@cpusa.org&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-4988626306711029714?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/4988626306711029714/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=4988626306711029714' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/4988626306711029714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/4988626306711029714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/author-sam-webb-national-chair-first.html' title=''/><author><name>josefponce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17804076279195641558</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NHXRnMUPRuI/SHe2de4q84I/AAAAAAAAAk0/6zTWz0ZwLoU/S220/IMG_0526.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772814277796896769.post-5358145381711526277</id><published>2008-09-22T16:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T16:16:24.546-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bob Chapman http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;US Mortgage bailout at half a trillion, Loss of confidence means end of credibility in the markets. Phony wars, phony values in real estate will cost all of you, financial companies bought out, power consolidated in financial markets, Gold on the rise, stock markets as volatile as a drunken sailor, why are the markets rallying after the big bailout &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;We recoil in disgust at the way these arrogant sociopaths, the henchmen of the Illuminati at the Fed and in our Treasury Department, led by Bernanke and Paulson, respectively, are taking the toxic waste losses of the Wall Street fraudsters and dumping them on the taxpayer sheople, while short-squeezing savvy investors by selectively prohibiting and prosecuting shorts of any kind for the stocks of about 800 financial institutions through early October, which all deserve to be shorted. Between the Byzantine dollar rally, the Saudi crude oil assassination, the peppering of precious metals by pernicious paper-hangers (wasn&amp;#39;t Adolf Hitler a paper-hanger at one time?) and the short-squeeze on financials, we wonder how many more hedge funds are going to go under, and take everyone else with them in the process, as Lehman gets cannibalized just in time to rack up mark-to-market losses for the sheople to eat in the latest bailout bonanza for the fraudsters, soon to be revealed as the Resolution Trust Company II solution?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Bailing out the toxic mortgages found among the half of US real estate mortgages held or guaranteed by Phonie and Fraudie, some 5+ trillion worth, was not enough for them. Now, they want to pawn the rest of the toxins from the other half of US mortgages, which they estimate will be about a half a trillion. Gee, didn&amp;#39;t they tell us the Iran War would cost 60 to 200 billion, only to find out later that when you add in future costs for veteran&amp;#39;s disabilities and pensions, the cost could top 3 trillion? And didn&amp;#39;t Bernanke tell us that the fallout from the subprime situation was contained? Of course, that was before we saw fraudsters around the world eat $350 billion and counting. And didn&amp;#39;t all the fraudster CEO&amp;#39;s keep telling us that their walking dead zombie companies were sound and liquid right up to the time that their shareholders got vaporized? Aren&amp;#39;t you starting to get a little tired of all the lies? Can we trust even a single word spoken by anyone from Wall Street, the Fed or our &amp;quot;beloved&amp;quot; Treasury Department anymore? The Street, the Fed and our government now have ZERO credibility. This loss of confidence is going to take the markets down no matter what these reprobate and sociopath elitists do.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You will eat &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;multiple trillions&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of dollars from &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;each&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of the following: (1) The phony War on Terror; (2) the loss in real estate values caused by record inventories that will be created by defaults and foreclosures resulting from rampant unemployment, loan fraud, over-leveraged consumers and ARM and Option ARM resets; (3) the combined bailout of Fannie&amp;#39;s and Freddie&amp;#39;s share of the toxic waste contained in the approximately half of all US mortgages which these cess pools have made or insured, plus the losses from the Resolution Trust Company II bailout of the toxic waste from the remaining half of US mortgages; (4) the shortage in the FDIC&amp;#39;s insurance reserves that will be generated by losses incurred on account of what will be anywhere from 1,000 bank failures, as suggested by billionaire Wilber Ross, to perhaps as many as half of all banks in the US, as recently suggested by Ken Lewis, CEO of Bank of America; (5) the PBGC&amp;#39;s funding shortage to cover losses suffered by pension plan beneficiaries on account of pension under-funding caused by what will be the loss of as much as half of the value of all US equity shares; (6) the bailouts likely to occur when the credit default swaps and interest rate swaps, along with the entire bond market, go under in what will be the greatest bear market of all time in both bonds and derivatives, which are guaranteed to occur based on the hyperinflation that will be caused by all the other bailouts just listed, as well as by our continually burgeoning budget and trade deficits, the resulting double digit interest rates which will become necessary in order to combat inflation and to properly reward risks, which are about to escalate in astronomical fashion, and to attract foreign investment, which will soon drop to nil based on negative rates of return; (7) the loss in purchasing power due to hyperinflation generated by 1 through 6 above; and (8) the new wars for profit that will be started in order to restart our vaporized economy in the wake of the death and destruction caused by 1 through 7, above, and you can also add in the costs associated with potential social unrest and revolution that are almost certain to occur. When number 6 above comes to fruition, the entire world economy will implode and go into deep depression. None will escape the coming juggernaut of losses when the glowing, quadrillion dollar Derivative Death-Star goes supernova. The entire world economy will get sucked into the resulting financial black hole. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Resolution Trust Company II will be rammed down the throats of Congress, just like (1) the Federal Reserve Act that has been used to inflate the middle class out of its wealth by imposing a stealth tax which is used to fund profligate government spending and enrich private banker&amp;#39;s with their debt-based fractional reserve system of banking; (2) the passage of the US Income Tax, which is used to enslave and impoverish US citizens and to ensure payment of the US Treasury&amp;#39;s debt to the Federal Reserve on its treasury paper; (3) the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act by the Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act, which is what paved the way for the speculation, fraud and conflicts of interest that always arise when commercial banks and investment banks are allowed to be merged under one entity, as we just saw happen with Bank of America when it bought out Merrill Lynch, and this poisonous piece of legislation is what allowed the Illuminist bankers to pawn off the toxic waste which their investment banking division created for its investment banking clients, after getting fraudulent AAA ratings from the ratings agencies, on their hapless, sucker-dupe commercial banking clients; (4) the passage of the toxic Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which freed the then fledgling OTC derivatives market, including credit default swaps and interest rate swaps, from the regulatory power of both the SEC or the CFTC, leading to an out-of-control, unregulated, under-collateralized, quadrillion dollar volcano of smoldering, molten risk that no one understands in terms of its scope, its interrelationships and its counterparty risks, and now these financial weapons of mass destruction threaten the worldwide financial system; (5) the passage of the Iran War resolution based on Bush Administration lies regarding Saddam Hussein&amp;#39;s supposed weapons of mass destruction and involvement in 911, which has led us into yet another bloody war for profit under the guise of security, democracy and freedom, and which has resulted in the killing of millions of Iraqi civilians and thousands of our soldiers (move over Hitler, Mao and Stalin, the Illuminati and their neocon henchmen are just getting warmed up as they take their shenanigans to the Balkans); (6) the approval of both Patriot Acts to help us fight the evil Osama Bin Laden and the phony &amp;quot;War on Terror&amp;quot; while dismantling our Constitutional rights; (7) the approval of the Military Commissions Act which makes all dissenters into &amp;quot;enemy combatants&amp;quot; and takes away their right to habeas corpus; (8) the passage of the John W. Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006, which repeals Posse Comitatus, meaning that our military forces can now be used against our own citizens for the first time in our history, and contrary to our Constitution; and (9) the Fannie and Freddie bailout, which was just authorized so the fraudsters can dump their slime on taxpayers in a futile attempt to save their precious system of Ponzi-schemes and insider trading which is becoming unraveled right before their eyes. This is why all incumbents, except for Ron Paul, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;must&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; be voted out in November. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The House Finance Committee, headed by Rep. Barney Frank, and the Senate Finance Committee, headed by Sen. Christopher Dodd, will give it their usual Boo-Boo, response: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t know, Yogi,&amp;quot; in order to give the clueless sheople the appearance that they are going to protect taxpayers from the slimy bankers, when the reality is, it is already a done deal and has been planned long in advance, probably for many months, if not years, just like the Patriot Acts. What you are seeing happen right before your eyes is the revenge of the Illuminati for the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act. Not only have they repealed that act, but now they have reverted our system back to the way it was when the Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred. This is why Bank of America jumped all over Merrill Lynch, and why you are hearing continual overtures for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to do the same, with claims that their business models are flawed. The fane-stream media now tells us that we need such combinations to give our financial institutions greater strength and staying power in the face of a crisis, when it is such combinations that are responsible for creating the crisis in the first place. This is the classic Hegelian Dialectic on steroids: first create the crisis, and then propose the predetermined solutions, stuffing them down everyone&amp;#39;s throats, if necessary. If you want to see institutions that will automatically be deemed to be too big to fail the next time they defraud the public, just check out the gargantuan financial behemoths that will emerge out of the current crisis!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Note how this was all set up. First, all the legislation was put into place. Then the system is brought into a crisis situation, which was easily accomplished through deregulation, in order to propel us into a situation where the Illuminists are allowed to consolidate their power with the full blessing of the dopey sheople. Note how Bear Stearns was assassinated just before the Fed opened up its Primary Dealer Credit Facility and its Term Securities Lending Facility, which could have saved BS. They arranged to have BS&amp;#39;s clients abandon them and withdrew BS liquidity and credit, and down they went, payback for not helping in the LTCM bailout and for not joining the Illuminist club. Then they string out all the other big commercial and investment banks, to see which ones would turn out to be the keepers, because the carnage was so bad and so widely spread that no one could tell which of the big commercial and investment banks might survive, if any. They needed time to figure out who the survivors would be. Hence, all the desperate bailouts dripping with moral hazard were made to keep them all afloat while they were attempting to make this determination. They decide to let Lehman fail because their condition is irredeemable and it looks like criminal charges may come up at some point due to shenanigans that management committed against their employee&amp;#39;s pension money, making them a hot potato. They pair up Bank of America with Merrill Lynch, and we see JP Morgan Chase and possibly Wachovia pairing up with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, respectively. Wachovia and Morgan Stanley are already in talks for a merger. AIG is being preserved to see if they can be fit into the consolidation scheme once all their problems have been sorted out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To support the survivors, they then announce the Resolution Trust Company II bailout, kill all shorting of over 800 financial companies, and then spew out money and credit throughout the international banking system in amounts that are nothing short of spectacular. This is an outrageous, unbelievable, unprecedented consolidation of power, which flies in the face of free markets and paves the way for an ever-burgeoning corporatist, fascist police state. Hanky Panky wants to give the Fed sweeping regulatory power over this new group of behemoths who will control everything, while occasionally allowing crumbs to fall off their table for the little guys to gobble up. And there will be far fewer of the little guys to worry about after the carnage in the banking sector has finally ceased. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is not a sure thing for them. The fraudsters remaining, even the big guys, could still fail, that is how bad this situation has become. The Illuminati are quaking with terror that they have overdone things and that they could end up destroying the whole system irreparably. That is why we are having all these bailouts stuffed down our throats.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gold and silver went on a moon shot this week, with gold setting a new all-time record for a one-day increase in value. That is what happens when you keep pressing on the lid of a pressure cooker, trying to keep boiling, molten precious metals from escaping. Aiding gold and silver was the unraveling of longs in the USDX futures market, who were forced to cover because they had pushed the dollar up as far as it could go. Suddenly, the 93,701 contracts of open interest on Tuesday were reduced to 52,872, being cut virtually in half. That means the dollar rally is over and the ever more desperate bailouts are going to undermine confidence in the dollar. Soon, all these trillions in bailouts may lead to a downgrade of our treasuries, as our debt load will soon reach unsustainable levels, no matter how much the PPT tries to manipulate the markets. The stupidest dolt should be able to figure out that much.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The stock markets are shooting up and down with unprecedented volatility, bobbing and weaving like a drunken sailor as the PPT tries to fight the gravity created by the financial black hole created by the collapse of the Bailout Death-Star and the total lack of confidence of market players who are finally starting to realize that CEO&amp;#39;s, Treasury Secretaries and Fed Chairmen are little more than pathological liars, and that the markets are rigged in ways that make China and Russia green with envy. Look at the condition of the Russian and Chinese stock markets, which are being vaporized, compared to ours, which has been placed in a state of suspended animation by the PPT anti-gravity machine. Hey Russia, and China, take some notes. We&amp;#39;ll show you what it means to be a died-in-the-wool Marxist/Communist state! And we lead by example, so pay attention. Remember, the satanic trillionaires that run our command economy from behind the scenes are the ones who set you up and financed you. They are the true masters of Communism and Marxism! You guys are amateurs!!!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Do you really think the markets are rallying because everyone is impressed with the new string of bailouts? All the pros know where this is leading us, and they are de-leveraging. If you want to know why the markets are rallying, besides tens of billions of dollars being unleashed from the repo pool for insidious and in-your-face manipulations, check out the yen. At 9 am on the 16th, it was super yen, at 103.650 yen per dollar and 147.592 yen per euro. Now suddenly, despite the dollar crash, the yen has wimped out, and as of 2:25 pm on Friday, it stood at 107.065 against the dollar, and at 154.653 against the euro. Rally mystery solved. Let&amp;#39;s get ready to rumble!!!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The members of Pink Floyd become prophets for America. Thanks to all the Illuminist lies the sheople have been injected with, the Goldilocks Matrix remains in tact. Yes indeed, you have all become &amp;quot;comfortably numb.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;O.K.&lt;br&gt;Just a little pinprick.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There&amp;#39;ll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick.&lt;br&gt;Can you stand up? I do believe it&amp;#39;s working, good. That&amp;#39;ll keep you going through the show&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Come on it&amp;#39;s time to go.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There is no pain you are receding&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You are only coming through in waves.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your lips move but I can&amp;#39;t hear what you&amp;#39;re saying.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When I was a child &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I caught a fleeting glimpse&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Out of the corner of my eye.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I turned to look but it was gone&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I cannot put my finger on it now&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The child is grown, &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The dream is gone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have become comfortably numb.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Group: Pink Floyd; Album: The Wall; Song: Comfortably Numb &lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;We hope and pray that the dream is not yet gone, and that Americans get a fleeting glimpse of our former glory and greatness, and that they wake up and stop allowing these scum-bags to have their way with them.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;RIP Richard Wright&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-5358145381711526277?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/5358145381711526277/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=5358145381711526277' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/5358145381711526277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/5358145381711526277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/bob-chapman-httpwwwtheinternationalfore.html' title='Bob Chapman http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com'/><author><name>josefponce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17804076279195641558</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NHXRnMUPRuI/SHe2de4q84I/AAAAAAAAAk0/6zTWz0ZwLoU/S220/IMG_0526.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772814277796896769.post-5300893716589801523</id><published>2008-09-22T11:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T11:48:06.343-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fotos 2: UN International Peace Day, Parlacen Pma.

Y es esta una de las definiciones/decisiones con las que la democracia debe ponerse a tono en este siglo.   ¿Democracia de quiénes y para quiénes? ¿Todos tienen realmente los mismos derechos a ejercer la ciudadanía? ¿Pueden los pueblos realmente decidir democráticamente sus destinos, mejorar sus condiciones de vida y convivencia? ¿Hay un contrato social capaz de sustentar estas aspiraciones?  Recorriendo los territorios políticos del continente, rápidamente se detecta que los paradigmas democráticos, tal vez por ser escasamente practicados, evidencian sus grandes flaquezas, algunas de ellas, por su desembozada orientación de clase a favor de los poderosos, otras –además de eso  por su notable obsolescencia social y cultural. Esto habla de la urgente necesidad de actualizar/cambiar el contrato social (político, económico y cultural), que sustenta nuestras sociedades.   Si centramos las reflexiones en la realidad boliviana actual ello es incuestionable, pero a la vez se instala fuertemente una interrogante: ¿Hay posibilidades?, ¿Existe un interés colectivo en construir un mundo civilizado, que habla –mínimante- de compartir, de repartir y reclama tolerancia, o los poderosos de siempre -quitándose la máscara- adoptarán una vez más la violencia, la exclusión, la mordaza y la muerte como basamento social de sus lujos y avaricias?   Se trata de una disyuntiva de vida y de modos de vida. Y está en juego hoy en las calles y campos de Bolivia y  con ellos , en todos nuestros territorios. Es asunto de tiempos y acontecimientos. Bolivia evidencia que la opción dictatorial travestida en los golpes "cívicos" expresión concentrada del egoísmo y la intolerancia extremos de los poderosos, busca re-instalarse como opción política (y económica) en tierras latino-americanas, contando  una vez más  con la intervención de la mano amiga ("agenda positiva") del poder de los "americanos".  La democracia representativa tiene entre sus fundamentos el voto de las mayorías. Cuando esto funciona bien para los intereses de las minorías en el poder (y del poder), estas no levantan ninguna objeción. Cuando –rara vez por cierto- ocurre lo contrario, la máscara y el discurso universalista desaparece y aflora sin tapujos el contenido de clase de la democracia que soportan y sustentan. Para ellos no hay principios democráticos generales, sino solo aquellos que les permiten defender y extender sus intereses. Cuando no es así, no dudan en boicotear la democracia, pisotearla, secuestrarla y matarla, al tiempo que lo hacen también con la ciudadanía que la defiende. Esto es lo que mostró hace 35 años el golpe a Allende, en Chile, y lo que hoy muestra crudamente la realidad boliviana. No es de extrañar por tanto que los grandes medios de comunicación –funcionales a los poderosos- se empeñen en distorsionar los hechos y en vez de hablar claramente de sedición contra las instituciones, de abierto irrespeto a la democracia y la constitución por parte de los golpistas, hablen de un conflicto entre "dos bandos".  Pero no hay "dos bandos". Existe un gobierno legítimo y un sector social de inadaptados sediciosos antidemocráticos, incluyendo gobiernos departamentales, que no quieren atenerse a las normas democráticas, y que  conscientes de que se les acabó la fiesta macabra del saqueo, la explotación, el robo y la humillación , en inocultable estado de desesperación, transforman su intolerancia en violencia y destrucción desembozada. El detonante no ha sido ni el "bono dignidad" para los ancianos, ni las falsas identidades regionales que clamarían por un separatismo, sino una intoxicación impotente de racismo y clasismo profundos que explotaron descontrolados luego del aplastante resultado del referéndum revocatorio, al cual se opusieron precisamente porque ni ellos mismos se creían las mentiras que producían a través de sus medios cuando afirmaban que Evo no tenía apoyo ni legitimidad. Su intolerancia, irrespeto a las instituciones y a la democracia estallan tanto cuando pretender insultar al Presidente Evo acusándolo de indio, como cuando desconocen los resultados electorales por la pertenencia étnica de los votantes. Basta de pretextos: el problema es el entrecruzamiento de intereses de clase y prejuicios raciales. Para los blancones del poder el voto indígena y pobre no vale, excepto cuando se les subordina, y tampoco vale la democracia, salvo cuando es para ellos. De ahí también el rechazo a aceptar el referéndum por la nueva constitución. Porque de aprobarse –lo más probable-, tendrían que aceptar no solo la legitimidad del voto indígena y pobre (mayoría) que la aprobará, sino el que estos sectores y actores puedan estar directamente representados y participando de la toma de decisiones. Y eso ya supera sus "sentimientos" y declamaciones democráticos, y pone fin a toda finta de tolerancia.   La exclusión tiene un origen y contenido clasista y racista, y también se expresa y actúa en lo político. Intereses de clases, racismo, modos de representación e institucionalidad están estrechamente unidos. Es saludable tener presente que el "descubrimiento", la conquista (exterminio) y colonización de América se hizo en función de la acumulación originaria del capital, y luego se afianzó para mantener y aumentar las ganancias, los privilegios y el poderío de los conquistadores y sus herederos en el poder.  En Bolivia queda evidenciado que los poderosos han utilizado y utilizan la democracia como sistema de dominación y no como derecho humano ciudadano pleno, porque nunca incluyeron a los derechos políticos ciudadanos como parte de los derechos humanos, ni a estos como fundamento de la democracia, ni consideraron a los indígenas seres humanos, menos entonces los reconocerán dentro de su pequeño espectro de derechos civiles (civilizados).   Pero las limitaciones de la democracia no empiezan ni terminan en Bolivia. La pugna de intereses, y su distorsión y castración en función de los poderosos, hace aguas y perfora lo discursivo abstracto en todas las latitudes. Y esto habla –mínimamente- de la necesidad de abrir el debate acerca de la democracia a toda la ciudadanía.  Anquilosadas en su fidelidad a un mundo basado en la hegemonía de una clase sobre el conjunto de la sociedad, las democracias se desarrollaron para las élites y el mercado. En virtud de ello  legalizando, sustentando y profundizando la exclusión, la explotación y todas las miserias que ello conlleva ,  las democracias abren cíclicamente el camino a las discordias y enfrentamientos fratricidas violentos, en los ámbitos nacionales, regionales y continentales. Es obligación moral para con la supervivencia humana, apostar a cambios sociales (económicos, políticos y culturales) profundos, incluyendo –obviamente- los relacionados con la democracia. Y esto implica, entre múltiples cuestiones, actualizar/cambiar las bases del contrato social que la sustenta, es decir, el propio contrato social. Hay que actualizar, renovar, cambiar los fundamentos jurídicos, económicos, sociales, políticos y culturales para que efectivamente, todos los ciudadanos sean iguales, no solo ante la ley, sino ante la vida y en la vida (pública y privada).  Los actuales sucesos de Bolivia demuestran –por si hiciera falta-, que no se puede seguir escondiendo la basura debajo de la alfombra, haciendo como que. Urge debatir acerca del tipo de sociedad, el tipo de país, de gobierno, de Estado y el tipo de democracia que necesitamos para construir un modo de vida basado en la convivencia en paz entre todos y todas. Y esto no puede limitarse a las agendas sectoriales o a los vaivenes oportunistas de un partido u otro. Es vital convocar/comprometer en ello a la ciudadanía toda, sin distingos ni exclusiones de ninguna índole.  Un debate de esa magnitud, para ser efectivo y sostenible, reclama desterrar la intolerancia, reconocer las diferencias activas, es decir, el conflicto que suscitan, como fuente de dinamismo, de vida. Pueden abrirse entonces tiempos en que la política, retomando su vertiente aristotélica, se manifieste como capacidad y derecho ciudadano pleno a expresar las opiniones y propuestas, haciendo del conflicto el vehículo del debate, los diálogos y la búsqueda de consensos. Volverá entonces la política, plenamente, al terreno de la vida civil ciudadana, abriendo las puertas al florecimiento de la inteligencia e imaginación colectivos, propios de los inagotables anhelos humanos de perfeccionamiento y superación.   Un mundo de paz reclama sociedades que se constituyan y se asienten sobre la base de la justicia y la equidad sociales (económicas, culturales, políticas), el pluralismo, la tolerancia  y el respeto a los derechos humanos en todos los órdenes y ámbitos de la vida humana. El egoísmo, la exclusión, la unicidad, la violencia y la búsqueda de ganancia sobre la base de la explotación humana como sustrato del orden social son valores propios de una civilización agotada junto con el siglo XX. Sostenerlos y pretender justificar su supervivencia en el siglo XXI, resulta culturalmente tan retrógrado como el medioevo lo fue para la república.  Hacernos cargo de la experiencia y la cultura de la humanidad, implica apostar a la paz social en los ámbitos local, regional, continental y mundial. Esto reclama hoy imperiosamente hacer efectivo el respeto a las diferencias, a la existencia de diversas culturas, identidades, miradas y modos de vida, conjugándolos en un nuevo contrato social sobre cuya base se construya una sociedad (Estado) plural, multi e intercultural, que haga de los principios democráticos del derecho a ser y vivir diferente, la base para la construcción de una democracia plural con significación efectiva para todos y todas.  Es lo que reclama -por disímiles vías- la humanidad conciente en el siglo XXI. Y es lo que está en juego y se dirime hoy en Bolivia.  - Isabel Rauber es doctora en Filosofía.

soon after they watched their precious system burn to the ground  right before their eyes a year ago in August. &amp;nbsp;Hence, you heard Goldman Sachs pronounce late last year: &amp;nbsp;"Short Gold for 2008." &amp;nbsp;They knew this was coming last year, because these evil reprobates planned it to happen that way. &amp;nbsp;They knew the jig was up when their subprime plot was exposed by analyst Meredith Whitney of Oppenheimer &amp;amp; Co. &amp;nbsp;They knew the implosion of Fannie and Freddie would happen eventually when the fraudulent mortgages started to go bad, but it happened far sooner than they had wanted or expected, and caught them with their pants down. &amp;nbsp;So, what was supposed to be &lt;STRONG&gt;a future plan to merge our mortgage lending system into their growing corporatist, fascist, financial structure,&lt;/STRONG&gt; was moved from the back burner to the front burner, and now you all see the results in spades.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;What we may be witnessing here is &lt;STRONG&gt;a combination of internecine warfare between American and European branches of the Illuminati, mixed in with financial warfare between countries that are not yet totally owned and controlled by the Illuminati, like China and Russia, and those countries which are under the Illuminist yoke, like the US, Canada, Europe and Japan&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Note that the Middle East countries like to &lt;STRONG&gt;play both ends to the middle&lt;/STRONG&gt;, by pitting the Europeans against the Americans, or Illuminist dominated nations against non-Illuminist nations, which often adds clouds of confusion to events going down on the international front.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;The European Illuminists are livid with their American counterparts, who have systematically weakened the dollar to shore up the trade deficit by making European exports more expensive &lt;STRONG&gt;after dumping hundreds of billions worth of fraudulent real estate derivatives into the European sector&lt;/STRONG&gt;, derivatives which continue to implode at an ever-accelerating rate and which may act as a &lt;STRONG&gt;catalyst to lead Europe into depression as well.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;Their gripe on the derivatives is legitimate, but they know the dollar should have weakened long ago against the euro, so they are blowing smoke about dollar weakness and the American Illuminists know it. &amp;nbsp;Nevertheless, the European Illuminists are demanding, by way of apology for the derivatives debacle, that the dollar be strengthened to save their staggering  economies from imploding, and that the &lt;STRONG&gt;GSE debt&lt;/STRONG&gt; which they own a lot of, especially via their OPEC clients, &lt;STRONG&gt;be nationalized to ensure payment when Fannie and Freddie implode.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;They know that the final vaporization of Fannie and Freddie is now only a question of &lt;STRONG&gt;"when,"&lt;/STRONG&gt; not "if."&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;The Japanese are caught in the middle between the Americans and the Europeans who want revenge, and their economy is being destroyed because of it. &amp;nbsp;While the Japanese are benefiting from the GSE bailout because they own lots of GSE bonds, the weakening of the euro and the dollar against the yen is destroying their export economy and the yen carry trade and leading them into depression as well. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;And then there are &lt;STRONG&gt;the non-Illuminist nations&lt;/STRONG&gt; who have lots of dollar-denominated treasuries and agencies as well, bought with trade surpluses made possible by artificially lowering the value of their currencies against the dollar through &lt;STRONG&gt;illegal currency&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;manipulations.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;This has made them very powerful economically, and has greatly helped to power up their economies, especially &lt;STRONG&gt;Russia and China.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;The Illuminati&lt;/STRONG&gt; are &lt;STRONG&gt;now picking fights&lt;/STRONG&gt; with them &lt;STRONG&gt;in poorly executed attempts to embroil them in pointless, expensive and what they hope will be unwinnable wars.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;The purpose of these bogus, false-flag conflicts is &lt;STRONG&gt;to reduce the dollar reserves and drain the power of non-Illuminist  nations,&lt;/STRONG&gt; thus leveling the playing field. &amp;nbsp;That playing field is now out of kilter on account of the doltish, &lt;STRONG&gt;bonehead, Illuminist schemes&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;to implement free trade, globalization, off-shoring, outsourcing, and both legal and illegal immigration.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;Such schemes have been used in &lt;STRONG&gt;a pathetic attempt&lt;/STRONG&gt; to improve the &lt;STRONG&gt;prospects for world government&lt;/STRONG&gt;, but have instead greatly hindered the efforts to establish world government &lt;STRONG&gt;by weakening the Illuminist centers of power &lt;/STRONG&gt;vis-à-vis the non-Illuminist centers of power.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;These non-Illuminist nations&lt;/STRONG&gt; have undoubtedly threatened to burn the US to the ground, not via a nuclear war, but&lt;STRONG&gt; via hyperinflation&lt;/STRONG&gt; to be unloaded on the US &lt;STRONG&gt;by the sale and repatriation of its treasuries and its agencies, and by the refusal to finance its ever-burgeoning deficits by shunning future purchases of these instruments.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;They have &lt;STRONG&gt;threatened to turn off the credit spigot and bring the US economy to a screeching halt&lt;/STRONG&gt;, thus leading it on a short path&lt;STRONG&gt; to deep depression,&lt;/STRONG&gt; if the US continues to weaken the dollar, and fails to make good on its agency paper which would otherwise be vaporized by the subprime fraud. &amp;nbsp;They are also sending a message about &lt;STRONG&gt;the bogus, false-flag wars and conflicts that the Illuminists are  trying to pick with them&lt;/STRONG&gt;, and Russia has threatened to start a new Cold War, if necessary. &amp;nbsp;It is hard to sympathize with the Russians and Chinese after what they did in the aftermath of WWII, but &lt;STRONG&gt;nevertheless these endless wars for profit and geopolitical power have got to stop before we end up burning the earth to a cinder in a senseless world war of self-extermination&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;The Illuminati&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; will likely get their world government all right, once the earth has been reduced to a toxic, uninhabitable, burning lump of fused atomic elements. &amp;nbsp;Congratulations, morons, if and when that happens.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;So the Illuminati have been forced by these circumstances to re-strengthen the dollar, and to bail out the GSE bondholders. &amp;nbsp;They made the other nations wait until the time was right, meaning that they wanted to implement this appeasement at a time of their choosing, &lt;STRONG&gt;the objective being to make America look strong economically right before elections to keep their incumbent henchmen in power.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &amp;nbsp;They also managed to wedge in &lt;STRONG&gt;an oil/food/commodity profit extravaganza for the tanking fraudsters along the way&lt;/STRONG&gt;, with a nice little temporary &lt;STRONG&gt;trade deficit reduction&lt;/STRONG&gt; thrown in for good measure via the weakened dollar. &amp;nbsp;Hence, just before elections, the dollar has been pushed up, and the GSE's have been nationalized.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;This is what they get for &lt;STRONG&gt;making us into a debtor nation&lt;/STRONG&gt; in a foolish attempt to sacrifice their base of power on the alter of world government. &amp;nbsp;They thought they could do this while maintaining the balance of power. &amp;nbsp;We have news for them. &amp;nbsp;They have failed utterly. &amp;nbsp;The destruction to their power base is not the controlled demolition they had hoped for &lt;STRONG&gt;to push us into a corporatist fascist system.&lt;/STRONG&gt; All they have managed to do is destroy their base of power, and &lt;STRONG&gt;now they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, fomenting wars, conflicts and other schemes,&lt;/STRONG&gt; while appeasing the many nations they have angered and bloodied along the way, in a pathetic attempt to restore the balance of power.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Gold and silver&lt;/STRONG&gt; had to be crushed, otherwise their moves would have been exposed as financially unwise and toxic, and the Fed would look like an institution of imbeciles. &amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Oil and commodities&lt;/STRONG&gt; had to be tamed in the process as would happen in any case by virtue of a strengthening dollar, and this has helped them to &lt;STRONG&gt;give the sheople&lt;/STRONG&gt; the appearance of improvement on the inflation front to benefit incumbents, even though inflation is still raging. &amp;nbsp;Naturally, &lt;STRONG&gt;the stock markets&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;had to be supported&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; as well in keeping with the ruse, and the PPT henchmen must be exhausted from &lt;STRONG&gt;the unbelievable manipulations &lt;/STRONG&gt;we have witnessed over the past few months. &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&amp;nbsp;The  elitist&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;have gone completely berserkers&lt;/STRONG&gt; with the latest run of market fraud, and they are going to pay for this raging fraud later when the class action lawsuits are implemented and the discovery exposes their machinations. &amp;nbsp;Look at the open interest on the USDX futures. &amp;nbsp;The previous record during a dollar rally of 58,595 contracts was set on December 14. &amp;nbsp;This Thursday, the USDX futures posted a gargantuan 94,021 contracts, shattering the previous all-time high by 35,426 contracts, an increase of more than 60%. &amp;nbsp;That is how desperate they are. &amp;nbsp;Oil has briefly dipped below 100, to 99.99, and the dollar spiked through 80 to a high of 80.395, and now suddenly, as we predicted might happen, everything has reversed and gold and silver are starting to rally again. &amp;nbsp;Let's see if this is this new trend is going to continue, or &lt;STRONG&gt;if the Illuminati have some October surprises in store for  us&lt;/STRONG&gt; to &lt;STRONG&gt;benefit incumbents&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Keep loading up, because the prices you are getting now on gold, silver and their related shares will never be seen again. &amp;nbsp;If you do, you will be a very happy camper in 2009.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; TEXT-INDENT: 1.59cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;It is obvious that &lt;STRONG&gt;the FDIC lacks the capital to back up its claims of the rescue of the American banks.&lt;/STRONG&gt; IndyMac was a $10 billion problem, but the other ten failures this year were much smaller. This, like in the instance of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, &lt;STRONG&gt;will cause our government soon to bail out the FDIC with funds that do not exist.&lt;/STRONG&gt; They &lt;STRONG&gt;will have to create more debt&lt;/STRONG&gt; in order to accommodate our banking system pushing government further into the hole. Incidentally, &lt;STRONG&gt;the Federal Reserve faces the same problem.&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;No one has the money to meet the guarantees.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; That is what we just found out in the cases of Fannie and Freddie.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; TEXT-INDENT: 1.59cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;Our government &lt;STRONG&gt;will have to sell more bonds&lt;/STRONG&gt; to accommodate these financial demands and &lt;STRONG&gt;they become the obligation of American taxpayers&lt;/STRONG&gt;.

They made $5 billion in the second quarter down from $30 billion plus quarters in recent years. The FDIC reports that the total assets of 8,451 institutions it insured fell to $13.30 trillion from $13.37 trillion in the first quarter, the largest drop since 1987.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; TEXT-INDENT: 1.59cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;Most of the above &lt;STRONG&gt;losses were due to CDOs, SIVs and ABSs, plus the failure of loans and mortgage loans.&lt;/STRONG&gt; They &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;do not reflect the deterioration of the financial condition of the bank's customer bases.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; There are many who are not current on their loans and banks are starting to write off other loan losses. As a result loan loss reserves are lower for the month and consecutive quarter leaving banks with 88.5 cents for every $1.00 in non-current loans.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; TEXT-INDENT: 1.59cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Banks are lying about their financial positions.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; They are hiding losses on and off balance sheets.

That is frightening but worse more frightening is the fact that the FDIC has one-cent in reserves for every dollar it is responsible for. Worse yet, there are $4.1 trillion of uninsured deposits in banks. That is in addition to $8.6 trillion covered by only one-cent per dollar. If that doesn't frighten you,&lt;FONT size=7&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;FONT size=7&gt;you are just plain dumb&lt;/FONT&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; TEXT-INDENT: 1.59cm" align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Arial, Times New Roman, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" size=2&gt;Then you look at &lt;STRONG&gt;Lehman's books&lt;/STRONG&gt; and you find they are bankrupt and the South Korean government agrees with us.

You can see the latest schedule at &lt;a href="http://www.monetary.org/2008schedule.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.monetary.org/2008schedule.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Its probably too late for you to attend, but audio and video CDs will become available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few weeks ago we sent out an essay titled &amp;quot;Front running Humanity in the Oil Markets. It pointed out how allowing such futures speculation was actually endangering mankind, causing starvation and other problems that could lead to warfare.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Since then the oil price has continued to plunge, falling altogether from about $150 a barrel down to about $100 a barrel. It turns out that most of the &amp;quot;trading&amp;quot; taking place had nothing to do with supply and demand and the actual use of oil, but was/is primarily a deeply anti-social; anti-human speculative gamble by people who think its OK for them to profit by inserting their accounts in front of those who must use the oil to keep societies around the world functioning; even though their speculation will increase human starvation and death.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Where does morality enter the picture? Where do the moral imperatives of Christianity or Judaism or Islam enter the picture? Most of the speculators would claim alliance with those religions. (While Islam abhors usury, it does allow futures trading - see Chapter 22 of your The Lost Science of Money book - What? You don&amp;#39;t have one? Shame on you!)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The speculation is ending not because of the consciences of these characters but because the U.S. Congress merely threatened some action against the speculation, and the gamblers knew that this could bring the price down to the real supply and demand levels, which I&amp;#39;d guess is in the 35-55$ a barrel region. Please note that&amp;#39;s just a guess. I&amp;#39;d measure projected levels if we were in that line of work, but we are not.&lt;br&gt; Remember - never allow oil men near the White House again!&lt;br&gt;Now look at the effect of the falling oil price and REMEMBER!&lt;br&gt;The US Dollar has had a major move up against other currencies (the Euro down) because a great part of the dollars weakness was due to sending dollars abroad for oil.&lt;br&gt; The Gold price collapsed from over $1,000 an ounce to around $750.&lt;br&gt;Agricultural prices declined dramatically as the speculators pulled out of those futures contracts also. Farmers who were enticed into high cost production now face terrible prospects.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="+1"&gt;REMEMBER this is all an effect of the ridiculous idea that so called &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; markets do a better job than strong governmental regulation.

Here's what happens:&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;A broker holding a client's order to buy at a certain price, instead buys for himself just in "front" of it. The clients order isn't filled and the broker has an unfair advantage over other traders because he controls the client's order which will buy the position back from him and protect his trade from a loss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;The client loses the opportunity to gain, where his order is never filled if the market moves away from his order point. If some participants can trade with little or no risk, over time everyone else is hurt.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Because Exchange Members' margin requirements are only about 1%, the front running brokers have a possibility of great gain quickly with almost no risk of loss.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why is this important to "public policy?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;"Front running" is one way to view what criminal Enron executives did to California. They had the client's non cancellable, inelastic "orders" to buy electricity and they grabbed the available supply in front of that, restricted the delivery process and extorted higher prices; blaming price rises on "market forces."&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Enron was bad enough, and Sarbanes-Oxley was passed to hold corporate officers criminally liable - a good law as judged by the corporate types screaming for its repeal. But apparently it didn't go far enough as judged by the present bold attack against humanity taking place.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;The manipulation of energy markets has widened from cheating the people of California, to a deadly attack on all humanity. That's what allowing speculation in oil futures is doing today. These markets aren't providing "price discovery" as apologists like to claim. They've driven the price of oil to destructive levels. The damage has already been immense.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;We've seen the devastating effects oil prices have had on airlines; trucking; food delivery and production; on average families trying to keep up with living costs; on restaurants and hotels Americans can no longer afford. Add your examples. It's the speculation and hoarding that does it. Exxon couldn't grab 12 $billion record 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; quarter profits if their costs of obtaining oil were rising.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;And so I put aside an outline for this paper when it appeared Congress would do its job – rescue &lt;i&gt;the world economy&lt;/i&gt; from this pernicious vandalism, by limiting speculation in oil futures to a few contracts per account.&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; That's all it would take to stop the nonsense.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;There's no reason to allow speculators to position themselves between the world's limited oil supplies, and those who have to use that oil to keep the world economy functioning. Such speculation leads directly to hardship, starvation, death and warfare. "Congress will finally fulfill its responsibility to act." I thought, but the measure failed in the Senate with 50 for, 43 against, and 7 not voting!&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why didn't Congress act?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;If this scenario is so clear and harsh, how could the Senate refuse to act? Are they a gang of demons?" No, but something potentially worse – we're confronted with a bad idea that many people believe in – the sanctity of markets!&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;The vote exposes a faulty methodology - an ideology based on false axioms; a false view of markets that's been strongly promoted, not questioned; with its negative effects not understood; that view gives markets a sacred character:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Don't try to legislate against what the market does – market forces will crush your laws. (&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;its omnipotent!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Don't try to instruct market behavior; it has inputs from millions of participants and knows more than your regulators ever could! (&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Its Omniscient.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Do the right things and the market will reward you; misbehave and you will be punished! (&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Its benevolent.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Well, omnipotence, omniscience and benevolence are attributes of a &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;god,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and Senators don't often fight with god!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's sorely missing from &lt;/b&gt;these beliefs and assumptions is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;evidence!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Where's the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;evidence&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that removing regulation from the airline industry had good effects?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Where's the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;evidence&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that removing FCC restrictions on media ownership had good effects?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Where's the&lt;b&gt; &lt;i&gt;evidence&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; that removing government regulation from any industry has had good effects?&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Of course it's worse than that. It goes beyond a lack of evidence because there's plenty of evidence to the contrary! Holding those beliefs requires &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ignoring&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; loads of evidence: ignoring the damage done to the airlines by deregulation; the damage done by media concentration&lt;b&gt;; &lt;/b&gt;the continuing damage done to America's middle class; ignoring: (insert your favorite)&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;How can proponents of unregulated markets justify ignoring the facts? Its crazy, but it's also a necessary part of their false methodology which loves theory but avoids experience – the facts. One of their leading "lights." economist Ludwig Von Mises, carries it to extreme levels actually claiming that facts cannot disprove his theories! So we are dealing with momentous errors of judgment and methodology.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Though these men are in the U.S. Senate, they are thinking like scared children. But such errors belong in children's sand boxes, not our nation's halls of power.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;This battle over methodology is an old fight. We even see it in our nation's beginnings. Ben Franklin's 1729 essay "&lt;i&gt;The Nature and Necessity of a Paper Currency&lt;/i&gt;" gave the correct methodology when he summarized the ideas used to help Pennsylvania set up its paper money system in 1723 rescuing her from a prolonged usury crisis. Franklin told the world:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Experience, more prevalent than all the logic in the world has fully convinced us all that paper money has been of the greatest benefit to the country."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Maybe as some Senators voted against stopping oil speculation, perhaps a more human inner voice rebelled against what they did. Was that voice stifled by an unholy combination of greed &amp;amp; selfishness, assuaged by their comforting though unsupported belief in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;utility&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of unbridled selfishness and greed? The false notion that selfishness "works?"&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;The Senators are not demonic, but their ideology, summarized as "Market worship," which ignores the human part of the resulting tragedies, certainly is.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.monetary.org/frontrunninghumanity.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;&lt;u&gt;http://www.monetary.org/frontrunninghumanity.html&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="4"&gt;Stephen Zarlenga,&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Director,&amp;nbsp; American Monetary Institute&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The American Monetary Institute holds its 4th annual Monetary Reform Conference at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Sept. 25-28th&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; See &lt;a href="http://www.monetary.org/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.monetary.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-3631131311712503714?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/3631131311712503714/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=3631131311712503714' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/3631131311712503714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/3631131311712503714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/fwd-oil-speculation-collapse-brings.html' title='Fwd: Oil Speculation Collapse Brings More Realistic Prices and FRONT RUNNING in Panama against humanity in the local stock market?'/><author><name>josefponce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17804076279195641558</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_NHXRnMUPRuI/SHe2de4q84I/AAAAAAAAAk0/6zTWz0ZwLoU/S220/IMG_0526.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772814277796896769.post-2388917437885678623</id><published>2008-09-13T13:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-13T13:35:49.545-07:00</updated><title type='text'>33 years Chef Alejandro Reyes at the Hotel Euro, Condolensces Former Euro Gen.

Pimco, sovereign wealth funds and central banks are reluctant to fund financial firms after losses on investments they made to support the companies, Gross said. The world&amp;#39;s biggest banks and brokers have raised $364.4 billion in new capital after more than $500 billion in writedowns and credit losses since the beginning of last year. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Since financial markets seized up a year ago as the subprime-mortgage market collapsed, the &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=SPX%3AIND"&gt;Standard &amp;amp; Poor&amp;#39;s 500 Index&lt;/a&gt; has fallen 13 percent and home &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=SPCS20Y%25%3AIND"&gt;prices&lt;/a&gt; are down more than 15 percent. Yields on investment-grade &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=HGAMCORQ%3AIND"&gt;corporate bonds&lt;/a&gt;, debt backed by commercial mortgages as well as &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=DEUZ2YR%3AIND"&gt;credit cards&lt;/a&gt; reached record highs last month relative to benchmark rates. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;`Mom and Pop&amp;#39; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gross cast a bleaker view for the prospects of the world&amp;#39;s financial markets than in previous notes to clients. The fund manager has previously called on lawmakers to support housing with legislation passed in July that allows lenders to forgive some of homeowners&amp;#39; debt and then refinance them into government-insured loans. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Pimco, a unit of Munich-based Allianz SE, is seeking to take advantage of declines in home-loan bonds. The firm is raising as much as $5 billion to buy mortgage-backed debt that has plunged in value, according to two investors with knowledge of the matter. The Distressed Senior Credit Opportunities Fund will invest in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgages, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the fund is private. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Paulson Rescue &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Treasury should support not only mortgage finance providers &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=FNM%3AUS"&gt;Fannie Mae&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=FRE%3AUS"&gt;Freddie Mac&lt;/a&gt;, but also ``Mom and Pop on Main Street U.S.A.,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; by subsidizing rates on home loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration and other government institutions, Gross said. A new version of the Resolution Trust Corp., which bought assets from failing institutions during the savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s, may also work, he said. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;U.S. Treasury Secretary &lt;a href="http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Henry+Paulson&amp;amp;site=wnews&amp;amp;client=wnews&amp;amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;filter=p&amp;amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;amp;sort=date:D:S:d1"&gt;Henry Paulson&lt;/a&gt; arranged a rescue package for Washington-based Fannie and Freddie of McLean, Virginia as concern escalated the government-chartered companies didn&amp;#39;t have capital to withstand the housing slump. Treasury pledged to pump unlimited debt or equity into the companies should they need it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As Fannie and Freddie, banks, securities firms and hedge funds shrink, yields on all debt assets will rise compared with benchmark rates and volatility will increase, Gross said. The declines will end once sellers have depleted their assets and sufficient capital has been raised, Gross said. Unless ``new balance sheets&amp;#39;&amp;#39; emerge, prices of almost all assets will drop, even those of ``impeccable&amp;#39;&amp;#39; quality, he said. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;`Anorexic&amp;#39; Appetite &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The extra yield demanded on Ginnie Mae&amp;#39;s 30-year, current- coupon mortgage-backed securities over 10-year Treasuries has climbed to 1.75 percentage points, from 0.87 percentage points at the start of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bonds guaranteed by the U.S. agency are backed by the U.S. government. Spreads on 2-year AAA rated &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=DEUS2YR%3AIND"&gt;bonds&lt;/a&gt; composed of federally backed student loans have climbed to 0.95 percentage points over benchmark rates, from 0.01 percentage points below, Deutsche Bank AG data show. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;``There is an increasing reluctance on the part of the private market to risk any more of its own capital,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Gross said. ``Liquidity is drying up; risk appetites are anorexic; asset prices, despite a temporarily resurgent stock market, are mainly going down; now even oil and commodity prices are drowning.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Home Prices &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The decline in home prices hasn&amp;#39;t been seen since the Great Depression, Gross said. That drop translates to an even bigger decline in overall wealth as the effects ripple through markets, Gross said. Home prices in 20 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas fell 15.9 percent in June from a year earlier, according to an S&amp;amp;P/Case-Shiller index. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Fannie and Freddie 30-year fixed-rate mortgage bond yields, which influence the &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=ILM3NAVG%3AIND"&gt;rates&lt;/a&gt; on most new home loans, have probably risen 75 basis points because of the waning demand, Gross said. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=PTTRX%3AUS"&gt;Pimco Total Return Fund&lt;/a&gt; returned 9.8 percent in the past 12 months, beating 97 percent of its peers in the government and corporate bond fund category as of Sept. 3, according to Bloomberg data. The returns are 5.76 percent annually over five years. Pimco has about $830 billion of assets under management. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;About 61 percent of Gross&amp;#39;s holdings were mortgage-backed securities as of June 30, mostly debt guaranteed by Fannie, Freddie or Ginnie Mae, according to data on Pimco&amp;#39;s Web site. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;``In a global financial marketplace in the process of delevering, assets that go up in price are rare diamonds as opposed to grains of sand,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Gross said. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To contact the reporters on this story: &lt;a href="http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Jody+Shenn&amp;amp;site=wnews&amp;amp;client=wnews&amp;amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;filter=p&amp;amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;amp;sort=date:D:S:d1"&gt;Jody Shenn&lt;/a&gt; in New York at &lt;a href="mailto:jshenn@bloomberg.net"&gt;jshenn@bloomberg.net&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;i&gt;Last Updated: September 4, 2008 12:17 EDT&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-6540905914774732999?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/6540905914774732999/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=6540905914774732999' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/6540905914774732999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/6540905914774732999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/taxpayer-bailout-of-financial-industry.html' title='Taxpayer bailout of financial industry only source of avoiding &quot;financial tsunami&quot; submitted by Basta Ya!

Sin embargo, la ignorancia en que la tiranía de Juan Vicente Gómez ha mantenido al pueblo ha impedido ver a muchos trabajadores el hecho de que la mayoría de aquéllos que pretender ser «revolucionarios», como el general Arévalo Cedeño y otros caudillos, sólo representan los intereses de los hacendados y de la burguesía, es decir, de los ricos del país, y no son otra cosa que nuevos tiranos que se disfrazan con la bandera revolucionaria para adueñarse del poder y continuar por su propia cuenta la explotación de los trabajadores.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Los trabajadores del mundo entero saben que existen dos clases de gente: los que trabajan y los que explotan, pero la verdad evidente y palpable de que nada hay de común entre estas dos clases, de que los intereses entre explotados y explotadores son irreconciliables, no ha sido comprendida por muchos de los trabajadores venezolanos de la ciudad y del campo.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;En todos los países del mundo los obreros y los campesinos, que son los que con su labor producen todas las riquezas, están organizados en sus propios partidos de clase, en sus propios sindicatos y ligas campesinas que representan y defienden sus intereses. Los capitalistas y los hacendados, esto es, los ricos dueños de las fábricas, empresas y tierras, también están organizados en sus propios partidos de clase y bajo la protección militar de su estado tratan de perpetuar la explotación de los que trabajan.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Si en Venezuela existe una lucha entre los ricos partidarios de Juan Vicente Gómez y su familia y los ricos partidarios de otros caudillos que representan sus intereses, esto se debe a que cada uno de ellos quiere más, quiere apoderarse de todo para sí, quiere llevarse lo que el otro tiene, quiere ser el único explotador y se disputan el privilegio de exprimir al pueblo trabajador con los mismos métodos y con el mismo fin. Los que están en el poder como el tirano Gómez hablan de «paz y orden», y los que como Arévalo Cedeño y otros quieren obtener el poder hablan de la «revolución», pero en verdad sólo hay entre ellos una diferencia de palabras, pues todos son enemigos encarnizados del pueblo trabajador.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;H4&gt;&lt;A name=QueQuiere&gt;&lt;/A&gt;¿Qué quiere el pueblo trabajador?&lt;/H4&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;El pueblo trabajador quiere librarse de la explotación y de la tiranía de Gómez y por lo mismo tampoco quiere que lleguen al poder otros caudillos como los Arévalo Cedeño, Olivares, Ortega Martínez, etc., pues esto significaría continuar en la misma esclavitud. Los conuqueros, los peones de las haciendas, los arrendatarios, a quienes pertenece la tierra por derecho natural, pues son ellos quienes la labran y la hacen fructificar a fuerza de sudores y fatigas, quieren que ésta pertenezca a ellos y no a los ricos. Los obreros de las minas y de las grandes empresas y fábricas quieren que el resultado de su labor y las máquinas con que trabajan estén bajo su control, quieren trabajar menos horas y recibir mayores salarios y que se les trate bien, quieren vivir como hombres libres y no vilmente explotados desde que nacen hasta que mueren lo mismo que esclavos. Todo esto es exactamente lo contrario de lo que quieren los patrones y los caudillos  que representan sus intereses. Por eso el general Arévalo Cedeño que actualmente combate contra Gómez, temiendo que los trabajadores logren librarse de la explotación ayudados por los trabajadores verdaderamente revolucionarios que son los COMUNISTAS, dijo que cuando el llegara al poder «no habría bastantes árboles en las riberas del Orinoco para colgarlos». Gómez los asesina con torturas y trabajos forzados en las carreteras y Arévalo Cedeño quiere colgarlos; ésta es la única diferencia que existe entre los dos, ambos quieren ver verdugos de los trabajadores, ambos son enemigos del pueblo.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Venezuela no está explotada solamente por los ricos venezolanos, sino también por los ricos extranjeros: los americanos del Norte, los ingleses, los franceses y otros. Esto es lo que se llama la explotación imperialista. Los grandes hacendados y los capitalistas venezolanos cualesquiera que sean sus caudillos están unidos con los imperialistas. Tanto aquéllos como éstos están de acuerdo en explotar a los trabajadores de Venezuela y se apoyan unos a otros en contra de éstos. Gómez o cualquiera de los caudillos que pretenden suplantarlo, negocian gustosamente y en cualquier tiempo con aquellos de los imperialistas que les ofrezcan mejores gangas. Todos, pues, son traidores del pueblo que venden diariamente al país o que pretenden venderlo al mejor postor imperialista.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¿Qué quiere el pueblo? El pueblo quiere echar a los imperialistas del país y aplastar a sus servidores nacionales como Gómez y Arévalo, quiere librarse de la explotación de unos y otros. Por esta razón el pueblo trabajador es antiimperialista.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;H4&gt;&lt;A name=LaVictoria&gt;&lt;/A&gt;¡La victoria pertenece a los trabajadores!&lt;/H4&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;La inmensa mayoría de los venezolanos son los trabajadores. Los ricos son una minoría insignificante. Tan pronto como los trabajadores comprendan sus intereses de clase y se organicen tendrán el poder en sus manos. ¿Qué derecho tienen los ricos enemigos de Gómez de apoderarse de las tierras, empresas, fábricas y otras riquezas que el tirano sanguinario ha acaparado? Pues ninguno, sólo los trabajadores tienen ese derecho y para conseguirlo les basta con organizarse en su propio partido de clase y luchar por sus propios intereses.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;En Rusia, el país más grande del mundo, y con una población cincuenta veces mayor que la de Venezuela y que estuvo sometida durante siglos a una tiranía tan sangrienta como la de Gómez, al régimen de los Zares, los obreros y campesinos hace ya trece años derrocaron este gobierno e implantaron el gobierno de su propia clase, el gobierno obrero y campesino llamado SOVIÉTICO. Se han repartido las tierras de los grandes hacendados entre aquéllos que las trabajaban directamente, y las fábricas, minas y empresas pasaron a ser propiedad colectiva de los obreros bajo el control del gobierno soviético. Los trabajadores de la Rusia Soviética trabajan actualmente sólo siete horas diarias, cada cuatro días de trabajo tienen uno de descanso, fuera de dos semanas de vacaciones cada año con salarios completos. Los salarios aumentan, y los precios disminuyen y no hay trabajadores desocupados. En las escuelas, colegios y universidades se da la  preferencia a los trabajadores y a sus hijos y el gobierno sostiene de todo a todos los estudiantes. La mujer goza exactamente de los mismos derechos y de las mismas ventajas que los hombres y se le concede un descanso absoluto con salario completo durante dos meses antes y dos meses después del alumbramiento. Bajo el gobierno obrero y campesino se construyen en la Rusia Soviética casas cómodas e higiénicas para los obreros, magníficos edificios para sanatorios, hospitales, clubes, bibliotecas y escuelas para los trabajadores, los cuales gozan de una libertad y bienestar nunca conocido en el mundo por la clase que todo lo ha producido.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Los trabajadores del mundo entero están luchando y organizándose para hacer lo mismo que sus hermanos de clase en Rusia. Los trabajadores venezolanos no han de faltar en esta lucha gloriosa por la libertad y el derecho de vivir bien. Ellos también se solidarizaran con todos los trabajadores del mundo para aplastar a sus propios tiranos e implantar el gobierno soviético de los obreros y campesinos en Venezuela.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¡A la lucha, trabajadores venezolanos! Organizaos para conquistar el pan, la sierra y el bienestar de hombres libres. Derrocad la tiranía e implantad vuestro propio gobierno de clase, el gobierno obrero y campesino.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;H4&gt;&lt;A name=ClaseMedia&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Clase media o pequeña burguesía&lt;/H4&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Hay gentes como los pequeños comerciantes, los dueños de talleres pequeños y otros que no son ni trabajadores ni ricos. Ellos también son perjudicados por el régimen de Gómez, y por la competencia que les hacen los ricos extranjeros y nacionales en sus negocios. Pero como no son ni trabajadores ni burgueses no saben con quién irse. Hablan mucho de la revolución, pero como ellos también quieren ser ricos mediante la explotación del pueblo trabajador, casi siempre se van con los caudillos de la burguesía Esta clase vacilante, esta clase media entre los trabajadores y los ricos se llama la pequeña burguesía. Entre ellos se encuentran políticos muy peligrosos para los trabajadores, porque con sus pretensiones de «revolucionarios» y su contacto directo con el pueblo en sus negocios tienen facilidad para engañarlos e inducirlos a seguir a los caudillos en contra de sus propios intereses de clase. Entre la pequeña burguesía se encuentran  también intelectuales, doctores, ingenieros, empleados, estudiantes y otros que en su mayor parte se benefician del régimen general de explotación de los trabajadores. Éstos, cuando están contra Gómez, se adhieren a los caudillos de los ricos y pretender ser «revolucionarios», pero con muy raras excepciones son enemigos de la verdadera revolución de los trabajadores de la ciudad y del campo y terminan siempre por traicionar el movimiento revolucionario de los trabajadores. El pueblo trabajador debe desconfiar de esta gente en general y no permitir que tome la dirección del movimiento obrero. Entre esta pequeña burguesía o clase media hay que contar sólo con aquellos que estén dispuestos a apoyar la lucha de los trabajadores y su partido de clase el Partido Comunista de Venezuela, por emanciparse totalmente del yugo de la burguesía, es decir, de los ricos, ya estén con Gómez o contra Gómez, pero a los que quieren desviar a los  trabajadores de la lucha revolucionaria por sus propios intereses en favor de la burguesía, hay que rechazarlos rotundamente como a traidores del pueblo trabajador y sirvientes de los explotadores. Hay solamente dos campos: los explotados y los explotadores; los que no están con los explotados están con nuestros enemigos. No hay un terreno intermedio en la lucha entre estas dos clases. Trabajadores, alerta contra los traidores.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;H4&gt;&lt;A name=Trabajadores&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Trabajadores: ingresad en vuestro partido de clase, el Partido Comunista&lt;/H4&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Por primera vez en la historia de este país se ha formado en Venezuela con su sede en Caracas un comité organizador de los trabajadores revolucionarios (comunistas) de Venezuela. Este comité se llamara COMITÉ CENTRAL PROVISIONAL DEL PARTIDO COMUNISTA, SECCIÓN VENEZOLANA DE LA INTERNACIONAL COMUNISTA.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;La Internacional Comunista, organización que dirige el movimiento revolucionario del proletariado mundial, y que ha tomado la iniciativa de ayudar a los obreros venezolanos a organizarse en su propio partido de clase, tiene secciones en todos los países de la América Latina y del mundo entero, se compone de unos cinco millones de obreros y campesinos organizados, controla la Rusia Soviética con sus 150 millones de habitantes y una parte considerable de China con más de 100 millones de habitantes, lo que hace un total de mas de 250 millones en un inmenso territorio donde los explotadores han sido aplastados y los obreros y campesinos tienen el poder. La Internacional Sindical Roja, organización que lucha por el mejoramiento inmediato de la situación económica de los trabajadores, y que cuenta con 16 millones de miembros también os ayudará a organizaros en sindicatos en cada industria, empresa, mina, fabrica o hacienda para defender vuestros  intereses materiales diarios contra la avaricia de la clase patronal. Ésta es la ayuda que los trabajadores organizados del mundo os aportan para organizaros a fin de libraros del yugo de los explotadores extranjeros y venezolanos.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;El Partido Comunista es el partido de los obreros, defiende los intereses de todos los explotados cualesquiera sea su nacionalidad, color, raza o religión y tiene como su programa lo siguiente:&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;OL&gt; &lt;LI&gt;Lucha insurreccionaria contra los grandes hacendados y la entrega y distribución de la tierra entre quienes la trabajan sin pagar indemnizaciones a los antiguos dueños.  &lt;LI&gt;Toma de todas las grandes empresas, fábricas, minas y transportes y nacionalización de éstos para los obreros bajo el gobierno obrero y campesino.  &lt;LI&gt;Desconocimiento de todas las deudas a los imperialistas y a los bancos y acaparadores ricos.  &lt;LI&gt;Desconocimiento de todas las concesiones y privilegios de explotación a los imperialistas.  &lt;LI&gt;Exención de impuestos a los campesinos pobres, pequeños comerciantes y dueños de pequeños talleres.  &lt;LI&gt;Implantación de la jornada de 7 horas en todas las grandes empresas, fábricas y minas y la jornada de 8 horas en general.  &lt;LI&gt;Igual salario por igual trabajo para las mujeres y los jóvenes.  &lt;LI&gt;Mantenimiento por cuenta del Estado y de las empresas de los desocupados y de los incapacitados para el trabajo por enfermedad, vejez o accidentes.  &lt;LI&gt;Educación elemental y superior gratuita y ayuda del Estado para el mantenimiento de los estudiantes.  &lt;LI&gt;Entrega de la tierra decomisada a los indígenas, los cuales tendrán derecho a gobernarse a sí mismos.  &lt;LI&gt;Supresión de todos los arriendos y alquileres.  &lt;LI&gt;Las madres recibirán salario completo con derecho a descanso absoluto durante 8 semanas antes y 8 semanas después del alumbramiento y asistencia médica gratuita. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¡Trabajadores!&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Los beneficios aquí enumerados los obtendréis solamente luchando vosotros mismos por ellos, con vuestra propia organización clasista. La emancipación de los trabajadores tiene que ser la obra de ellos mismos. Los caudillos sólo os traicionarán y engañarán. Vosotros mismos tenéis que libertaros y para ello es menester organizaros y controlar vosotros mismos estas organizaciones para que no se apoderen de ellas los verdugos y explotadores. Solamente así organizados y dirigidos por vuestro propio partido de clase el Partido Comunista de Venezuela, podréis luchar efectivamente y con buen éxito contra todos los atropellos de los ricos, logrando arrancarles mejoras económicas inmediatas mientras os libráis definitivamente del yugo de los explotadores implantando vuestro propio gobierno de clase (soviético! constituido por delegados de los obreros, campesinos, indios y soldados.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Si no queréis morir como esclavos, subyugados por el terror y el látigo, sin esperanzas para el porvenir, si no queréis que vuestros hijos e hijas padezcan la misma miseria y tiranía que vosotros sufrís hoy, hay que luchar para realizar el programa comunista. Sólo los cobardes se resignan a morir bajo los latigazos del déspota explotador. Los verdaderos hombres que quieren luchar para salir de este infierno a que estamos condenados en vida los trabajadores bajo el dominio de los ricos que todo lo deben a nuestra labor, se organizaron para libertarse. ¡Para qué os sirve la vida si tenéis que pasarla sofocados por la opresión, alimentados con miserables mendrugos y tratados como perros! Solo tenéis que perder en la lucha las cadenas que los explotadores os imponen.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;H4&gt;&lt;A name=Conclusion&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Conclusión&lt;/H4&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;El dominio de la burguesía o capitalistas ha llegado a su última etapa. El régimen capitalista se está hundiendo mortalmente herido por las propias contradicciones del sistema y por la violenta lucha de clases que de ellas se deriva. La decadencia se manifiesta palpablemente en la crisis espantosa que sufren todos los países en donde gobiernan los ricos. Hay 30 millones de hombres sin trabajo, sin pan y sin techo, condenados a ser mendigos con sus familiares. Los salarios de los que aún tienen trabajo son reducidos por los ricos que quieren echar sobre la clase trabajadora todo el peso de la crisis, de la quiebra del sistema de explotacion capitalista. Se aumentan las horas de trabajo, los impuestos y los precios de los artículos de primera necesidad. Los capitalistas de todos los países luchan unos contra otros para arrebatarse los restos del botín y se preparan a la guerra engañando a los trabajadores para que les sirvan de carne de  cañón y defiendan los intereses de sus propios explotadores.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Los trabajadores que ya no pueden aguantar más el yugo que les imponen los ricos explotadores se están organizando en todo el mundo para sacudirlo y librarse de un sistema que convierte a la mayor parse de la humanidad en bestias de carga de unos pocos privilegiados. El proletariado mundial se prepare para seguir el ejemplo de los trabajadores de la Rusia Soviética, único país donde no hay crisis ni desocupación.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¡Trabajadores venezolanos! Organizaos. Todos los que no seáis cobardes suscribios al programa de liberación obrera de este manifiesto en sodas las empresas, minas, fábricas y haciendas. Es necesario organizaros en pequenos grupos clandestinos unidos entre sí y elegir delegados en comités locales afiliados al Partido Comunista y bajo la dirección del Comité Central provisional que os va a enseñar cómo se procede en la lucha por vuestra liberación. Cuidaos de los espías y traidores. No recibais en vuestras filas sino a aquellos trabajadores que sabéis bien son sinceros adherentes de la causa del pueblo trabajador.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¡Trabajadores! Luchando vosotros mismos con la ayuda del proletariado (los trabajadores) mundial, sin caudillos, ni generales extranjeros, ni nacionales, sabréis derrocar la tiranía y el régimen explotador.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;¡Adelante, compañeros! Vivan los trabajadores! Viva el Gobierno Obrero y Campesino! Viva la Rusia Soviética! Viva el Partido Comunista! ¡Mueran los verdugos del pueblo trabajador!&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;El Comité Central Provisional del Partido Comunista Venezolano, Sección de la Internacional Comunista.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Caracas, 1º de mayo de 1931&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;CENTER&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;FONT size=7&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;El fusil en el hombro de un obrero es la unica garantía de la democracia.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; Lenin. &lt;/I&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-4520359043254767988?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/4520359043254767988/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=4520359043254767988' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/4520359043254767988'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/4520359043254767988'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/1931-la-lucha-por-el-pan-y-la-tierra.html' title='1931:  La lucha por el pan y la tierra.

Y los que pretendan llevar &lt;BR&gt;adelante  proyectos conspirativos serán &lt;BR&gt;enfrentados con todos los instrumentos que la &lt;BR&gt;Constitución pone en mis manos", agregó el &lt;BR&gt;gobernante.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Fue la primera advertencia que tenían los &lt;BR&gt;latinoamericanos de la existencia de sectores &lt;BR&gt;dispuestos a revivir las terribles experiencias &lt;BR&gt;vividas en el continente en las décadas de los &lt;BR&gt;sesenta y setenta.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Guatemala&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sin embargo, a los pocos días, en Guatemala, el &lt;BR&gt;presidente Álvaro Colom ordenó a la Guardia &lt;BR&gt;Presidencial tomar la Casa Presidencial, ante el &lt;BR&gt;descubrimiento de una red de cámaras y micrófonos &lt;BR&gt;sembrados en ésta por los círculos de seguridad &lt;BR&gt;más cercanos al Presidente.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Si bien a las pocas horas quedó claro que no &lt;BR&gt;fueron militares quienes pretendían montar un &lt;BR&gt;cerco al presidente Colom, sino Carlos &lt;BR&gt;Quintanilla, director de la Secretaría de Asuntos &lt;BR&gt;Administrativos y de Seguridad (SAAS), &lt;BR&gt;probablemente el más  poderoso funcionario &lt;BR&gt;guatemalteco después del propio Colom.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Quintanilla no parecía dispuesto a aceptar la &lt;BR&gt;paulatina disminución del amplio poder que &lt;BR&gt;ejercía desde el 14 de enero de 2008, cuando el &lt;BR&gt;propio Colom lo nombrara al frente de la SAAS, y &lt;BR&gt;se preparaba para tomar medidas drásticas contra &lt;BR&gt;quien lo había designado.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Bolivia&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;El 9 de septiembre, el ministro de Gobierno &lt;BR&gt;boliviano, Alfredo Rada, acusó al prefecto de &lt;BR&gt;Santa Cruz, Rubén Costas, y al presidente del &lt;BR&gt;Comité Cívico cruceño, Branco Marincovik, de &lt;BR&gt;promover la "violencia fascista para acabar con &lt;BR&gt;la democracia".&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;El ministro de la Presidencia de Bolivia, Juan &lt;BR&gt;Ramón Quintana, aseguró que "estamos en el umbral &lt;BR&gt;de un golpe atípico contra el orden institucional &lt;BR&gt;desde las prefecturas y los comités cívicos y en &lt;BR&gt;el que ya no se necesitan tanques".&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sin embargo, el presidente Evo Morales reiteró el  &lt;BR&gt;lunes su llamado al diálogo a los prefectos del &lt;BR&gt;Consejo Nacional Democrático (Conalde, integrado &lt;BR&gt;por los prefectos de Santa Cruz, Pando, Beni, &lt;BR&gt;Tarija y Chuquisaca), al tiempo que anunció la &lt;BR&gt;declaración de "persona no grata" del embajador &lt;BR&gt;de Estados Unidos, Phillip Goldberg.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Goldberg se había reunido clandestinamente en &lt;BR&gt;días pasados con Costas y Marinkovic, y estuvo &lt;BR&gt;involucrado en un escándalo de espionaje hace &lt;BR&gt;pocos meses, por el que el gobierno &lt;BR&gt;norteamericano debió pedir excusas a Bolivia.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Este nivel de intromisión no podemos permitirnos &lt;BR&gt;y a estos elementos tenemos que sumar las &lt;BR&gt;acciones de Goldberg en Kosovo con criterios &lt;BR&gt;separatistas de estos vampiros políticos, a &lt;BR&gt;través de la 'media luna' con una clara &lt;BR&gt;intromisión de la embajada de Estados Unidos &lt;BR&gt;junto a una minoría agropecuaria y productiva', &lt;BR&gt;manifestó el también diputado del MAS René  &lt;BR&gt;Martínez.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Venezuela&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;El Presidente Chávez ordenó una investigación &lt;BR&gt;luego de que, en una grabación presentada por el &lt;BR&gt;programa "La Hojilla", se escuchó al &lt;BR&gt;vicealmirante Carlos Millán Millán, al general de &lt;BR&gt;la Guardia Nacional Wilfredo Barroso Herrera y al &lt;BR&gt;general de la Aviación Eduardo Báez Torrealba, &lt;BR&gt;planificando la toma del Palacio de Miraflores. &lt;BR&gt;El plan involucra el uso de aviones F-16 de la &lt;BR&gt;Base Libertador y el asesinato del presidente &lt;BR&gt;Chávez.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Aristóbulo Istúriz, dirigente del Partido &lt;BR&gt;Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), declaró que &lt;BR&gt;los planes de magnicidio contra el presidente &lt;BR&gt;venezolano obedecen a un mandato del imperio &lt;BR&gt;estadounidense y que esta campaña no es sólo en &lt;BR&gt;contra de Venezuela, sino en contra de todos los &lt;BR&gt;países que luchan contra el capitalismo.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;En rueda de prensa desde la sede del PSUV, dijo &lt;BR&gt;también que los sectores opositores  planifican &lt;BR&gt;"guarimbas" y desestabilizaciones contra el &lt;BR&gt;inicio del periodo escolar 2008-2009, así como &lt;BR&gt;contra el normal funcionamiento de hospitales y &lt;BR&gt;otras instituciones, y que para esto "organizaron &lt;BR&gt;un movimiento (...) Ahí está involucrado el &lt;BR&gt;movimiento 2-D (movimiento supra-partidario que &lt;BR&gt;agrupa a dirigentes de oposición), o ¿ustedes &lt;BR&gt;creen que esos militares están solos?", se &lt;BR&gt;preguntó Istúriz.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Por otro lado, el ministro del Poder Popular para &lt;BR&gt;Relaciones Interiores y Justicia, Tarek El &lt;BR&gt;Aissami, señaló que ante "la posibilidad de un &lt;BR&gt;magnicidio, de provocar escenarios de violencia y &lt;BR&gt;de desestabilizació n y lo decimos con elementos &lt;BR&gt;de prueba" y responsabilizó a grupos económicos y &lt;BR&gt;políticos, como el movimiento 2-D "que reúne a &lt;BR&gt;más de '2-delincuentes' , militares en situación &lt;BR&gt;de retiro, que están otra vez acariciando, la &lt;BR&gt;posibilidad de un golpe de Estado o  peor, un &lt;BR&gt;magnicidio".&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Pero estamos preparados, nuestro pueblo está más &lt;BR&gt;preparado que en el 2002, y se estrellarán &lt;BR&gt;quienes pretendan nuevamente arrastrar al país &lt;BR&gt;hacia esos escenarios y los cuerpos de seguridad &lt;BR&gt;y el Estado actuaran con determinación para &lt;BR&gt;garantizar la paz de nuestro pueblo", afirmó El &lt;BR&gt;Aissami.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;El presidente de la República, Hugo Chávez, &lt;BR&gt;afirmó que "se reactivan los planes para matarme, &lt;BR&gt;y las fuerzas yanquis están buscando militares &lt;BR&gt;activos y pilotos que bombardeen Mirafores o, en &lt;BR&gt;su defecto, el programa dominical Aló, &lt;BR&gt;Presidente".&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Sabemos desde hace tiempo que están buscando &lt;BR&gt;cohetes tierra-aire y equipos sofisticados para &lt;BR&gt;volar el avión presidencial" , e indicó que &lt;BR&gt;también han planeado bombardear Miraflores.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Chávez indicó que se han neutralizado una gran &lt;BR&gt;cantidad de conspiraciones en los últimos años &lt;BR&gt;gracias a las mejoras  en los cuerpos de &lt;BR&gt;Inteligencia venezolano. "Hemos infiltrado &lt;BR&gt;movimientos de los más radicales, fascistas que &lt;BR&gt;están intentando incendiar el país".&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"El imperio está desesperado y los pitiyanquis de &lt;BR&gt;aquí los están ayudando para atacarme", &lt;BR&gt;puntualizó.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Este es un Gobierno, una Revolución y una &lt;BR&gt;conciencia que construye una Patria nueva. Porque &lt;BR&gt;seguimos dando respuestas a las necesidades de &lt;BR&gt;las población en los sectores que nos competen en &lt;BR&gt;la administració n del Estado", culminó Chávez.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Estados Unidos ha intervenido o ha auspiciado &lt;BR&gt;golpes de Estado en todos los países del &lt;BR&gt;continente americano, siendo particularmente &lt;BR&gt;graves las décadas de los sesenta y setenta, en &lt;BR&gt;que el gobierno norteamericano había colocado &lt;BR&gt;gobiernos militares simultáneamente en todos los &lt;BR&gt;países latinoamericanos, excepto Venezuela.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Noticia leida aproximadamente 1018 veces.&lt;BR&gt;Contador  actualizado cada 3 minutos&lt;BR&gt;La fuente original de este documento es:&lt;BR&gt;Agencia Bolivariana de Noticias (ABN) (&lt;A href="http://www.abn.info.ve/" target=_blank rel=nofollow&gt;&lt;FONT color=#003399&gt;http://www.abn. info.ve&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1772814277796896769-2090076717834111897?l=sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/feeds/2090076717834111897/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1772814277796896769&amp;postID=2090076717834111897' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/2090076717834111897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1772814277796896769/posts/default/2090076717834111897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanfelipeahora.blogspot.com/2008/09/gobierno-de-bush-promueve-golpes-de.html' title='Gobierno de Bush promueve golpes de Estado en América Latina, fwd by Basta Ya!

INTRODUCTION &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the NLM movement prepares for elections in the first half of next year, &lt;br&gt;and as we face the many new possibilities but also challenges that have &lt;br&gt;emerged since the ANC&amp;#39;s 52nd National Conference, the question of state &lt;br&gt; power and the role of the SACP in this regard have become even more &lt;br&gt;critical. Both the opportunities and the dangers have escalated. The SACP &lt;br&gt;has a major role to play in the current context and much depends on our &lt;br&gt; ability to rise to the occasion. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The present discussion on the Party and state power can be dated back to &lt;br&gt;2005 and two important interventions by the SACP - the &amp;quot;Medium Term Vision&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;document, and the 2006 CC discussion document. In these interventions the &lt;br&gt; Party advanced the thesis that, in the first decade after 1994, despite many &lt;br&gt;advances on a number of fronts, the new democratic state had been &lt;br&gt;progressively hegemonised by the bourgeoisie. This hegemony (never a stable &lt;br&gt; nor unchallenged hegemony) was realised through a combination of factors, &lt;br&gt;including: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the capacity of established monopoly capital within SA to regroup &lt;br&gt;after the demise of white minority rule and to win over the new state into &lt;br&gt;an agenda of capitalist stabilisation and renewed accumulation rather than &lt;br&gt; substantive transformation; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the cultivation of a new comprador stratum within the movement and &lt;br&gt;state; and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the relative demobilisation of the ANC and attempts (partially &lt;br&gt;successful) to marginalize the SACP and COSATU. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The strategic alliance between monopoly capital and an emergent fraction of &lt;br&gt;capital linked closely to elements of the ANC/state leadership lay at the &lt;br&gt;heart of what the SACP has called the &amp;quot;1996 class project&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This was the general analysis advanced by the SACP in 2005. It was to have a &lt;br&gt;significant impact on the ANC&amp;#39;s 2005 NGC and COSATU&amp;#39;s 2006 national &lt;br&gt;congress. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In opposition to the 1996 class project&amp;#39;s strategic agenda, the SACP&amp;#39;s MTV &lt;br&gt;document called for the second decade of freedom to be a decade in which the &lt;br&gt;hegemony of the working class in all key sites of power would be realised. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But how? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The SACP argued that an alternative agenda should include, critically: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; active popular mobilisation; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the building of a strong SACP able to lead the working class and &lt;br&gt;resist attempts at marginalisation; and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the re-building of the Alliance as the key strategic political &lt;br&gt;centre. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;These strategic tasks remain central. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In all these tasks the SACP will be guided by its Programme, &amp;#39;South African &lt;br&gt;Road To Socialism&amp;#39;, adopted at our 12th Congress in 2007. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;But what about contesting the bourgeoisie&amp;#39;s consolidation of hegemony over &lt;br&gt;STATE POWER? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;CHAPTER 2. THE SACP AND ELECTONS &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.1. An electoral route? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the SACP&amp;#39;s 2005 Special National Congress, some delegates argued that in &lt;br&gt;the light of the relative marginalisation of the left, and the &lt;br&gt;pro-capitalist orientation of the state, the SACP should contest elections &lt;br&gt; independently. The 2006 Special Congress was not able to reach any &lt;br&gt;definitive decision on this matter, and a resolution was taken to set up a &lt;br&gt;special CC commission to consider the various &amp;quot;modalities&amp;quot; of the SACP&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt; engagement with electoral politics. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In February 2007 the CC commission tabled a draft interim report, &amp;quot;The SACP, &lt;br&gt;State Power and the Working Class&amp;quot;. Among the main elements of this report &lt;br&gt;were: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A critical reflection on the SACP&amp;#39;s experience so far with &lt;br&gt;election politics post-1994. This included a reflection on the degree to &lt;br&gt;which the SACP had succeeded in impacting on successive ANC election &lt;br&gt; manifestos (including the RDP); the ability of the party to assert an &lt;br&gt;independent profile within an ANC-led electoral campaign; the impact of the &lt;br&gt;Party on the list and deployment process; and our experience with SACP &lt;br&gt; members serving as ANC elected representatives, including the experience of &lt;br&gt;Party Discussion Forums within legislatures. The general broad conclusion &lt;br&gt;was that the Party had had some successes and impact but that a major review &lt;br&gt; and improvement in all these areas was necessary - regardless of what &lt;br&gt;electoral modality the SACP eventually decided upon. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A broad survey of the electoral experience of Communist Parties &lt;br&gt;internationally. In particular, the report focused on CPs operating on &lt;br&gt;capitalist dominated terrains in Europe, Latin America, India and Japan. &lt;br&gt; Notwithstanding some inspiring achievements, the general conclusion of this &lt;br&gt;broad survey was that electoral politics within capitalist dominated &lt;br&gt;societies is an extremely difficult terrain for principled communist &lt;br&gt; parties. Generally, left electoral successes in these cases involve one or &lt;br&gt;another variant of broad left fronts, alliances and coalitions in which CPs &lt;br&gt;are one component. The electoral terrain also often provokes serious strains &lt;br&gt; (sometimes splits) within CPs - between cadres within legislatures and those &lt;br&gt;more active on the mass terrain. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A reflection on the institutional capacity and functioning of our &lt;br&gt;national parliament (and provincial legislatures). The general conclusion &lt;br&gt;was that parliament is the weakest and least effective of the arms of &lt;br&gt; government. Its public legitimacy is low. Out of this analysis the SACP &lt;br&gt;began more actively to take up the call for the abolition of floor-crossing &lt;br&gt;(a source of considerable damage to the standing of parliament) and the &lt;br&gt; passing of legislation to enable Parliament to amend the budget (and other &lt;br&gt;Money Bills). Floor crossing has now been abolished (as of August 08), and &lt;br&gt;the money bill legislation is in the course of being realised. Much work &lt;br&gt; needs to be done still to build the capacity of our legislatures and their &lt;br&gt;transformation into institutions genuinely able to consolidate working class &lt;br&gt;hegemony. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;As to whether the Party should campaign for elections independently or not, &lt;br&gt;the Commission report left the matter open for further debate and &lt;br&gt;decision-making, but it offered some possible options. The report also noted &lt;br&gt; that, whatever the ultimate decision in this regard, the DEBATE itself was &lt;br&gt;already proving to be healthy. It had shaken comrades, perhaps especially &lt;br&gt;those in legislatures, out of a certain routinism. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, this SACP debate was also actively canvassed and taken up within &lt;br&gt;allied structures. In particular, this was the case with COSATU. COSATU &lt;br&gt;commissioned independent surveys among its shop stewards and general &lt;br&gt; membership to assess preferred electoral options. This process suggested &lt;br&gt;that, while the SACP&amp;#39;s positions on policy matters (eg. GEAR, privatisation, &lt;br&gt;etc.) were widely supported within COSATU, there was NOT major support for &lt;br&gt; an independent SACP (or workers party) electoral campaign. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.2. SACP&amp;#39;s July 2007 12th National Congress &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;It was against this general background that our 12th National Congress met &lt;br&gt;and adopted the following resolution on &amp;quot;The SACP and State Power&amp;quot;: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;NOTING That the question of state power is the central question of any &lt;br&gt;revolution &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That state power is located in diverse sites, including the executive, &lt;br&gt;the legislatures, the judiciary, security forces, the broad public sector, &lt;br&gt;state owned enterprises, and other public institutions &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That the strategic Medium Term Vision (MTV) of the SACP is to secure &lt;br&gt;working class hegemony in the State in its diversity and in all other sites &lt;br&gt;of power &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;4. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That electoral politics are an important but not an exclusive terrain &lt;br&gt;for the contesting of state power &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;5. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Working class power in the state is related to working class power in &lt;br&gt;all other sites, including the imperative of developing organs of popular &lt;br&gt;power, active forms of participatory democracy and social mobilisation &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;6. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That structures of the SACP and our cadres have confronted many &lt;br&gt;problems with the way in which the Alliance has often functioned, &lt;br&gt;particularly with regard to policy making, the lack of joint programmes on &lt;br&gt; the ground, deployments and electoral list processes. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;AND BELIEVING THAT &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;While the state of white minority rule has been abolished and &lt;br&gt;important constitutional and other gains have been won, the post-1994 state &lt;br&gt;requires significant transformation. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This includes amongst other things: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;a) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;redressing the damaging impact of privatisation and restructuring &lt;br&gt;policies that have weakened and exposed key strategic areas to the dominance &lt;br&gt;of private capital; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;b) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Addressing the lack of clear cadre development policy in the state; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;c) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Building the strategic capacity of the state to drive developmental &lt;br&gt;programmes; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;d) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Rebuilding critical sectors of the public service, including health &lt;br&gt;care and education, that are still reeling from the effects of years of &lt;br&gt;down-sizing and other restructuring measures; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;e) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Transforming the key area of local government, often the weakest &lt;br&gt;sphere of governance. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That SACP cadres who are deployed as ANC elected representatives, or &lt;br&gt;as public servants must continue to owe allegiance to the Party and cannot &lt;br&gt;conduct themselves in ways that are contrary to the fundamental policies, &lt;br&gt; principles and values of the SACP. The same principle applies to SACP cadres &lt;br&gt;in other deployments, including within the trade union movement, community &lt;br&gt;organisations, etc. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;AND FURTHER BELIEVING THAT &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The alliance requires major reconfiguration if the NDR is to be &lt;br&gt;advanced, deepened and defended, and if we are to achieve the SACP&amp;#39;s medium &lt;br&gt;term vision objectives of building working class hegemony in all sites of &lt;br&gt; power, including the state &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That this reconfiguration of the Alliance must include the following &lt;br&gt;elements: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;a) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The Alliance must establish itself as a strategic political centre; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;b) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This political centre must develop a common capacity to drive &lt;br&gt;strategy, broad policy, campaigns, deployment and accountability. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;At the same time, this reconfiguration of the Alliance must respect &lt;br&gt;the independent role and strategic tasks of each of the alliance partners. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;THEREFORE RESOLVE &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;That the SACP deepens its capacity to provide strategic leadership in regard &lt;br&gt;to key policy sites of state power, including industrial policy, social &lt;br&gt;policies and the safety, security and defence sectors. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;That the SACP contests state power in elections in the context of a &lt;br&gt;reconfigured Alliance. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To mandate the incoming CC to actively pursue the different potential &lt;br&gt;modalities of future SACP electoral campaigning. These modalities could &lt;br&gt;involve either: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; An electoral pact with our Alliance partners, which could include &lt;br&gt;agreement on deployments, possible quotas, the accountability of elected &lt;br&gt;representatives including the accountability of SACP cadres to the Party, &lt;br&gt; the election manifesto, and the importance of an independent face and role &lt;br&gt;for the SACP and its cadres within legislatures. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;OR &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Independent electoral lists on the voter&amp;#39;s roll with the possible &lt;br&gt;objective of constituting a coalition Alliance agreement post elections. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;4. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The SACP must actively engage its Alliance partners on these &lt;br&gt;proposals. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;5. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The Party and State Power Commission must take forward its work to &lt;br&gt;study international experiences closely, and to analyse in detail and &lt;br&gt;evaluate our local reality. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;6. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The incoming CC must convene a policy conference within a year, in &lt;br&gt;order to assess the feasibility and potential advantages and disadvantages &lt;br&gt;of the different modalities noted above, including further detailed &lt;br&gt; research. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;7. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Whatever options are chosen, we must strengthen the SACP&amp;#39;s policy &lt;br&gt;capacity, and our organised strength on the ground. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Several key features of this resolution need to be noted: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; While upholding the importance of electoral politics, the &lt;br&gt;resolution is at pains to avoid a narrow electoralist approach to the &lt;br&gt;question of state power. It notes that state power &amp;quot;is located in diverse &lt;br&gt; sites, including the executive, the legislatures, the judiciary, security &lt;br&gt;forces, the broad public sector, state owned enterprises, and other public &lt;br&gt;institutions&amp;quot;. It also notes that working class hegemony over the state is &lt;br&gt; related to working class power and mobilisation outside of the state. In &lt;br&gt;short, the question of the SACP and state power is NOT reducible to the &lt;br&gt;question of the SACP and its electoral role - which is not to say that this &lt;br&gt; latter is an unimportant matter. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The resolution is careful to locate the question of the SACP and &lt;br&gt;state power within the context of our medium term vision (MTV) of building &lt;br&gt;working class hegemony in ALL sites of power (including the state). The &lt;br&gt; question of the exact role of the SACP (should it aspire to eventually be &lt;br&gt;THE ruling party? for example) is a practical, relatively open-ended, and &lt;br&gt;therefore conjunctural matter that needs always to be subordinate to the &lt;br&gt; strategic priority of building working class (and not a particular party&amp;#39;s) &lt;br&gt;hegemony in the state and elsewhere. We should never artificially impose an &lt;br&gt;electoral path. The SACP is a weapon at the service of the proletarian class &lt;br&gt; struggle, the proletarian vanguard, and not the other way around - i.e. the &lt;br&gt;working class is not there to fulfil the SACP&amp;#39;s ambitions separate from the &lt;br&gt;interests of the working class itself. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.3. The ANC&amp;#39;s 52nd National Conference and post-Polokwane &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The SACP&amp;#39;s 12th Congress quite deliberately sought to influence and impact &lt;br&gt;upon the critical ANC 52nd National Conference - not in a narrow electoral &lt;br&gt;contest manner, but, above all, in seeking to re-open democratic space &lt;br&gt; within the ANC and our alliance, and in seeking to impact positively on &lt;br&gt;policy resolutions. Indeed, in the Central Committee&amp;#39;s analysis these &lt;br&gt;objectives were broadly achieved. The 1996 class project&amp;#39;s political and &lt;br&gt; ideological supremacy within the ANC has been (at least provisionally) &lt;br&gt;broken. Many important positive resolutions were adopted at Polokwane, and &lt;br&gt;there is generally a much improved policy-making engagement within the &lt;br&gt; Alliance, including at the May 2008 Alliance Summit, alliance ETC processes, &lt;br&gt;and the important Health and Education campaign. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, there are many challenges and threats: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The ANC, in particular, continues to be beset with very serious &lt;br&gt;factional crises and these continually spill over into alliance partners. &lt;br&gt;The capacity of the ANC to run an effective election campaign or to provide &lt;br&gt; strategic leadership under these conditions, and if not immediately &lt;br&gt;addressed, may be impaired; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There are &amp;quot;fight back&amp;quot; initiatives in some quarters, seeking to &lt;br&gt;undermine the progressive outcomes of Polokwane. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There is the danger of state looting, or eleventh hour &lt;br&gt;entrenchments of problematic policies or personalities by those who sense &lt;br&gt;that they themselves are &amp;quot;outgoing&amp;quot;; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There is rank opportunism in some quarters - either by those who &lt;br&gt;regard themselves &amp;quot;Polokwane victors&amp;quot; and who seek to advance not the policy &lt;br&gt;positions agreed at Conference but their own personal careers. There are &lt;br&gt; also those who are suddenly crossing the floor and becoming zealots of the &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;new cause&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; And, at the back of all of this, is the sheer power and tactical &lt;br&gt;flexibility of the capitalist class within our society. The formerly &lt;br&gt;incumbent ANC president and the electoral slate associated with him may have &lt;br&gt; been democratically defeated at Polokwane, but monopoly capital remains &lt;br&gt;absolutely intact. Insofar as it has a clear and unified agenda in this &lt;br&gt;regard, big capital within our country is pursuing a multi-track agenda - &lt;br&gt; frustrate ANC president, cde JZ&amp;#39;s presidential prospects if possible, but &lt;br&gt;adapt to and hegemonise whatever new presidency might emerge. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the previous SACP CC noted, the current post-Polokwane reality contains &lt;br&gt;at least two contradictory potential scenarios: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A scenario in which the many positive features of Polokwane - the &lt;br&gt;opening up of democratic space, the consolidation of fresh policy, the &lt;br&gt;rebuilding of mass campaigning and organisation are all taken forward; or &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A negative scenario in which the left fails to hegemonise the &lt;br&gt;post-Polokwane reality, and instead (and particularly after national &lt;br&gt;elections in 2009) a new alliance of &amp;quot;1996 class project floor-crossers&amp;quot;, &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;compradorists&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;fugitives from justice&amp;quot; coalesces around a programme of &lt;br&gt;awarding influential posts, tenders and contracts to themselves, while the &lt;br&gt;factional destabilisation (and not democratic transformation) of the state, &lt;br&gt; including the criminal justice system, persists. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the latter scenario prevails, the left will be used for the electoral &lt;br&gt;campaign and then dumped, with some individuals coopted, while the rest are &lt;br&gt;marginalized - perhaps more brutally than before. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We are, therefore, at the cross-roads in the history of our revolution. The &lt;br&gt;conjuncture is full of real space for consolidating an effective, &lt;br&gt;progressive, programmatic approach to state power. However, the space opened &lt;br&gt; up by Polokwane can also be squandered and the opportunity lost. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.4. Transforming the post-1994 South African state - the struggle against &lt;br&gt;neo-colonisation of the state &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The struggle to ensure left hegemony in the present reality makes it &lt;br&gt;imperative that, amongst other things, we return to the subject of the SACP &lt;br&gt;and state power. In the first place this means continuing with the &lt;br&gt; discussion around the SACP and electoral options that kicked off the debate &lt;br&gt;in 2006. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.5. SACP 2009 electoral options &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In approaching this issue we are guided by our 12th Congress resolution on &lt;br&gt;the party and state power. As we have already noted, in July 2007 our &lt;br&gt;Congress resolved on two general possible electoral &amp;quot;modalities&amp;quot; for the &lt;br&gt; Party in 2009. On the one hand, there was the option of: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Independent [SACP] electoral lists on the voter&amp;#39;s roll with the possible &lt;br&gt;objective of constituting a coalition Alliance agreement post elections&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Alternatively, the resolution said, we could pursue: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;An electoral pact with our Alliance partners, which could include agreement &lt;br&gt;on deployments, possible quotas, the accountability of elected &lt;br&gt;representatives including the accountability of SACP cadres to the Party, &lt;br&gt; the election manifesto, and the importance of an independent face and role &lt;br&gt;for the SACP and its cadres within legislatures&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In practice (at least for the prospective national/provincial elections of &lt;br&gt;2009), the SACP has already chosen this latter option. Already the SACP is &lt;br&gt;actively participating in the ANC-led election campaign planning, election &lt;br&gt; manifesto preparations, and related policy-development processes. We are &lt;br&gt;obviously doing this sincerely, with every intention of maximising the ANC&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt;electoral victory next year. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This does not mean that the alternative option of an independent SACP &lt;br&gt;electoral list should quietly and now forever disappear from the table - &lt;br&gt;already one SACP province has indicated its intention to argue for an &lt;br&gt; independent SACP electoral list in the next round of local elections. The &lt;br&gt;modality of the SACP&amp;#39;s engagement with elections is, as we have agreed, not &lt;br&gt;a matter of timeless principle, but something that needs to be periodically &lt;br&gt; analysed and evaluated in the light of potentially shifting realities. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, if indeed we are serious and sincere about an ANC-led election &lt;br&gt;campaign in 2009, then it is critical that we should not be ambiguous, or &lt;br&gt;send mixed signals about this over the coming eight or so months. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;On the other hand, this certainly does not mean that the SACP should simply &lt;br&gt;give the ANC a &amp;quot;blank cheque&amp;quot; - i.e. one hundred percent Party support and &lt;br&gt;activist effort, but without any serious Party influence or impact on the &lt;br&gt; campaign and beyond. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This means that the SACP must engage its Allies around at least the &lt;br&gt;following key matters (flagged in our Congress resolution): &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Deployments - in this regard, the SACP must ensure that there is an &lt;br&gt;effective and formal SACP presence on ANC-led deployment and list committee &lt;br&gt;processes. This presence should not be just for the election campaign &lt;br&gt; period, which means that. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We need to secure a permanent formal presence on ANC-led deployment &lt;br&gt;committees. This will enable us to have an influence on, for instance, the &lt;br&gt;potential recall of recalcitrant SACP members who are serving as ANC-elected &lt;br&gt; representatives in legislatures. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Possible quotas on lists - Fixed quotas for SACP (and COSATU) nominees have &lt;br&gt;both potential advantages and disadvantages: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Possible advantages - &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;A fixed quota is a way of formalising the notion of an electoral &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;pact&amp;quot;. It would presumably then become the main purpose and rationale for a &lt;br&gt;formal SACP presence on deployment and list committees and at list &lt;br&gt; conferences. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It could also establish a more direct answerability to the SACP of a &lt;br&gt;designated block of elected public representatives. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;A quota could also be particularly advantageous in provinces where &lt;br&gt;there is continued hostile marginalisation of the Party and COSATU. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Possible disadvantages - &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The quota (and pact, in the formal sense of the word) approach starts &lt;br&gt;to shift us away from a strategic alliance with overlapping memberships (and &lt;br&gt;leaderships) and collective responsibilities, to a more formalised &lt;br&gt; arrangement in which each component takes care of its &amp;quot;own&amp;quot;. This clearly &lt;br&gt;runs the danger of turning alliance leaderships at national, provincial, &lt;br&gt;regional and local levels, into participants in bargaining chambers rather &lt;br&gt; than revolutionary leadership collectives. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;For the SACP, what would be an acceptable quota? (The YCL has suggested &lt;br&gt;one-third of national and provincial lists for the SACP and another &lt;br&gt;one-third for COSATU. Is this winnable?). If it is much less than a formal &lt;br&gt; one-third, the SACP runs the danger of actually having fewer MPs elected &lt;br&gt;than is currently the case (around 80 in the NA which is close to one-third &lt;br&gt;of all ANC MPs in the NA). Of course, we could argue for a minimum quota and &lt;br&gt; then trust that the ANC nomination process will also produce many more SACP &lt;br&gt;members. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;But the existence of a separate and fixed SACP (and COSATU) quota is &lt;br&gt;liable to be used by opportunist and anti-communist elements to argue for &lt;br&gt;the exclusion of any additional known Party members. There is also the &lt;br&gt; danger that SACP quota candidates will be treated as &amp;quot;second class&amp;quot; ANC MPs &lt;br&gt;in legislatures. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;COSATU also has its own problem with quotas. In 1994 in particular &lt;br&gt;COSATU asked for and was granted a list of candidates - the subsequent &lt;br&gt;experience has been very uneven (with the majority of COSATU-list members &lt;br&gt; quickly abandoning any connection with the federation, and indeed &lt;br&gt;parliament). Of course, this challenge is not quite the same in the case of &lt;br&gt;the Party, since SACP members who are MPs and MPLs remain, in principle, &lt;br&gt; SACP members. A related problem for COSATU is the danger of a massive loss &lt;br&gt;of organisational capacity and skills. If, for instance, the YCL proposal of &lt;br&gt;a one-third quota for COSATU is agreed, then COSATU would be &amp;quot;losing&amp;quot; around &lt;br&gt; 88 worker leaders to full-time work in the National Assembly alone. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;For all of the above reasons, it is proposed (for further debate and &lt;br&gt;resolution) that the SACP (independently and together with its allies) &lt;br&gt;should develop an approach to the list process that involves the following: &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The setting of particular targets for SACP representation &lt;br&gt;fine-tuned to particular situations that take into account regional, &lt;br&gt;provincial and national realities. Is it reasonable for the SACP to claim as &lt;br&gt; a right a particular quota (let&amp;#39;s say one-third) in a province where our &lt;br&gt;structures are weak and our campaigning presence minimal? Conversely, where &lt;br&gt;the Party is highly influential and effective, and enjoys grass-roots ANC &lt;br&gt; support, why should we be limited by a mechanically derived (elite pacted?) &lt;br&gt;national quota? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In other words, we need to be able to argue the merits of &lt;br&gt;particular SACP lists and particular SACP candidates and not rely on a &lt;br&gt;mechanical quota. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In setting particular targets, as proposed above, the SACP needs &lt;br&gt;to achieve at a minimum the election of provincial secretaries and/or other &lt;br&gt;identified provincial leadership collectives to legislatures as we have &lt;br&gt; previously resolved. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We must ensure that we take responsibility as the SACP (together &lt;br&gt;with our allies) not just for an SACP component but for the lists overall, &lt;br&gt;ensuring as much as possible progressive balance in terms of track-record, &lt;br&gt; skills and capacity, and working-class bias. The SACP should take &lt;br&gt;responsibility for expressing views on all potential list candidates whether &lt;br&gt;they are Party members or not (as we have already done in supporting cde JZ &lt;br&gt; as next year&amp;#39;s presidential candidate). We should actively back effective &lt;br&gt;and progressive ANC members and not just look after &amp;quot;our own&amp;quot;. This should &lt;br&gt;also be the approach of COSATU - and we should hope that COSATU will &lt;br&gt; motivate not just for outgoing, i.e.&amp;quot;retiring&amp;quot; COSATU members, but for &lt;br&gt;comrades from the vanguard workers&amp;#39; party whom they would see as the kind of &lt;br&gt;full-time political activists best able to represent working class &lt;br&gt; interests. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This approach has the additional merit of countering potential &lt;br&gt;opportunism within the Party - i.e. people joining the Party to have a &lt;br&gt;fast-track onto a list. We want SACP members (whether they are aspirants for &lt;br&gt; lists or not) who enjoy the respect and support of a majority of ANC and &lt;br&gt;COSATU memberships. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We need to understand that the list process is much more than &lt;br&gt;about securing some names. While it may become highly divisive, the list &lt;br&gt;process is also potentially a way of building grass-roots democracy and &lt;br&gt; alliance cooperation, of starting the election campaign, and of discussing &lt;br&gt;WHAT we want candidates to stand for, and in evaluating the performance of &lt;br&gt;incumbents. In other words, the SACP has a major opportunity (and &lt;br&gt; responsibility) for setting an example on the ground in the course of the &lt;br&gt;list process in countering factional activity and encouraging inclusiveness &lt;br&gt;and in championing branch-level democracy and participation. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We also need to ensure that the SACP at all levels is also &lt;br&gt;meaningfully consulted on appointments of members of the executives, &lt;br&gt;something that is normally outside the purview of deployment committees. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Manifesto - the SACP is already engaging actively with the ANC election &lt;br&gt;manifesto and related ANC-alliance policy development processes. In order to &lt;br&gt;impact effectively on these processes, the SACP needs to heighten its &lt;br&gt; internal policy development capacities, connect this work with our recent &lt;br&gt;and current campaigns (financial sector, land and agrarian reform, public &lt;br&gt;transport, health sector transformation), and develop key policy priorities &lt;br&gt; for the Manifesto and for a new government&amp;#39;s programme of action. (Some of &lt;br&gt;the matters raised below in regard to the transformation of the state also &lt;br&gt;need to feature in this work). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Supporting and mandating elected reps who are SACP members and the &lt;br&gt;responsibilities of these members to the Party - hopefully the alliance will &lt;br&gt;be more unified in the coming period on policy and government programmes. If &lt;br&gt; this is the case, then some of the serious complications we have encountered &lt;br&gt;in the past decade should abate. Hopefully we will never again have the ugly &lt;br&gt;spectacle of senior SACP leaders in an ANC cabinet leading government&amp;#39;s &lt;br&gt; privatisation programme, or the down-sizing of the public sector. Hopefully, &lt;br&gt;the potential contradiction between being both an ANC elected rep in cabinet &lt;br&gt;or parliament and an SACP member will be minimised. But the principle of &lt;br&gt; retaining an independent SACP profile and identity, and the principle of &lt;br&gt;loyalty to the aims and objectives of the SACP remain and must be clearly &lt;br&gt;affirmed and understood by Party members and Alliance partners. Elected &lt;br&gt; public representatives who are Party members have responsibilities to the &lt;br&gt;Party and the Party equally has responsibilities to support and effectively &lt;br&gt;(if broadly) mandate them. Deepening our policy development capacities &lt;br&gt; (noted above) is a key part of this - we can do this, partly, by drawing on &lt;br&gt;the sectoral skills and work of elected reps, and by using our campaigns to &lt;br&gt;develop policy perspectives that SACP members need to carry into &lt;br&gt; legislatures, cabinets, etc. We need to engage our Alliance partners around &lt;br&gt;the proposal (first advanced by cde JZ) that there should be designated (if &lt;br&gt;informal) SACP (and COSATU) slots in major debates in Parliament (eg. State &lt;br&gt; of Nation, Budget, etc.), so that the ANC in legislatures presents itself on &lt;br&gt;these occasions as an alliance. We need also to build and improve upon the &lt;br&gt;experience of PDFs. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this section we have focused on the key area of the SACP and electoral &lt;br&gt;politics. However, we would be making a very serious error if we only &lt;br&gt;confined our engagements around the Party and state power to these matters. &lt;br&gt; The possibilities and responsibilities confronting the SACP in regard to &lt;br&gt;state power in the current conjuncture and going forward into next year are &lt;br&gt;much broader. We need to make a major contribution to theorising the current &lt;br&gt; state and to proposing concrete measures to transform it into a democratic &lt;br&gt;developmental state strategically placed to lead an NDR. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;CHAPTER 3. THE SOUTH AFRICAN STATE APPARATUS AND THE STRUGGLE AGAINST &lt;br&gt;NEO-COLONISATION &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Emerging from the SACP&amp;#39;s engagements and struggles there is now an &lt;br&gt;increasing awareness of the need to look at the configuration of the South &lt;br&gt;African state and to unpack the ways in which its present configuration &lt;br&gt; favours corporate capture and hegemony. In other words, this is not a &lt;br&gt;narrowly technical or managerial matter, it goes to the heart of the class &lt;br&gt;struggle for state hegemony. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.1. Neo-colonialism &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In earlier decades we characterised the white minority state as a CST state. &lt;br&gt;The colonial power, in our case, was not located in a relatively distant &lt;br&gt;metropole, but within the same territorial space as the colonised majority. &lt;br&gt; This internal colonialism was based on the reality of a relatively developed &lt;br&gt;domestic capitalist economy and a powerful, local monopoly-capital &lt;br&gt;ruling-class. The democratic breakthrough of 1994 represented the defeat of &lt;br&gt; a particular state form (white minority rule), but not the defeat of &lt;br&gt;monopoly capital. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;It would be surprising, therefore, if the new democratic state were not &lt;br&gt;susceptible to &amp;quot;corporate capture&amp;quot;, i.e. to some degree of neo-colonisation &lt;br&gt;(of a special type). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Neo-colonialisation of the state in general is characterised by three key &lt;br&gt;features: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The externalisation of strategic leadership - planning, &lt;br&gt;coordination, evaluation are externalised. In the most blatant cases this &lt;br&gt;can be seen with IMF conditionalities, or the Club of Paris dictating the &lt;br&gt; budgets of nominally independent African countries. In short, there is a &lt;br&gt;drastic loss of democratic national sovereignty. However, we might as well &lt;br&gt;ask ourselves the question as to what extent are the many international &lt;br&gt; advisory groups (eg Investment Council, the Harvard Group) also another &lt;br&gt;example of externalisation of strategic (and, in this instance, also &lt;br&gt;intellectual) leadership, and sidelining our national leadership and &lt;br&gt; intellectual resources. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Enclavism - the multi-national corporations and the institutions &lt;br&gt;(like the IMF) that support them are not interested in the integrated &lt;br&gt;development of the national territory as a whole. Their interest lies in the &lt;br&gt; cobalt mine or oil-rig, the connecting oil pipe-line or rail-line, and the &lt;br&gt;port, the airport, and indeed the golf course where many decisions affecting &lt;br&gt;our direction are often made. Cherry-picking is the order of the day, and &lt;br&gt; investments and the neo-colonial state itself are typically shaped around &lt;br&gt;this kind of enclavism. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The transformation of a post-colonial governing elite into a &lt;br&gt;comprador stratum - i.e. local agents for the foreign corporate interests. &lt;br&gt;This comprador stratum itself lives within an enclave (typically a &lt;br&gt; dollarised enclave - see Zimbabwe currently) insulated from the suffering of &lt;br&gt;the majority. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The combined effect of neo-colonialism is a drastic loss of democratic space &lt;br&gt;for the working class, peasantry and urban poor. Domestic politics gets to &lt;br&gt;be about very little of substance, since the real policy decisions are taken &lt;br&gt; elsewhere. The transformational agency of the potential key motive forces is &lt;br&gt;eroded. Peasants, workers, the marginalized poor, and potentially &lt;br&gt;progressive middle strata are demobilised. Or they are demagogically &lt;br&gt; mobilised around factional and often ethnicised politics and xenophobic &lt;br&gt;stirrings directed at the elite capture of political control over enclaves. &lt;br&gt;Politics is about fan clubs and great saviour politics. The air is full of &lt;br&gt; intrigue and conspiracy theories. And, indeed, precisely because the &lt;br&gt;neo-colonial state exists in a narrow enclave of privilege and borrowed &lt;br&gt;power, it is susceptible to instability and intrigue. You can capture the &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;state&amp;quot; by bribing the presidential guard and storming the radio station. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clearly the current South African state is not remotely this kind of extreme &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;banana republic&amp;quot; case of neo-colonialism (although the current goings-on in &lt;br&gt;our &amp;quot;radio station&amp;quot; makes one wonder). But it would be equally wrong to &lt;br&gt; ignore the very real (and perhaps growing) symptoms of a creeping &lt;br&gt;neo-colonisation (of a special type). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.2. The RDP and the post-1994 democratic state &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the SACP we have devoted considerable time and attention to tracing the &lt;br&gt;displacement of our shared alliance 1994 programmatic platform (the RDP) by &lt;br&gt;a very different strategic agenda (GEAR). However, we have probably paid &lt;br&gt; insufficient attention to the question of how this displacement was &lt;br&gt;facilitated and perpetuated by the institutional configuration of the &lt;br&gt;post-1994 state. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1994, instead of the RDP being institutionalised as the overall strategic &lt;br&gt;programme of government, it was marginalized into a Ministry within the &lt;br&gt;presidency, headed by a Minister without Portfolio. The highest ranking &lt;br&gt; official was a DDG. Attempts by the RDP ministry to coordinate work across &lt;br&gt;government were resented by line departments who saw it as trespassing on &lt;br&gt;their turf and the respective departmental DGs easily outranked the RDP DDG &lt;br&gt; in the ensuing battles. The budget of the RDP Ministry was relatively &lt;br&gt;limited, much of it donor funding and project-linked. (We can already begin &lt;br&gt;to see features of &amp;quot;externalisation&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;enclavism&amp;quot; in this transformation &lt;br&gt; of what was meant to be THE integrative transformational national democratic &lt;br&gt;programme into a list of discreet projects many of them chosen or favoured &lt;br&gt;by external players.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The gap created at the centre of government in terms of the key strategic &lt;br&gt;planning, integration and coordination, and monitoring functions by this &lt;br&gt;marginalisation (and early demise) of the RDP Ministry was then filled by &lt;br&gt; the Treasury. This was marked, most obviously, by the mid-1996 introduction &lt;br&gt;of GEAR. The main features of GEAR were almost identical to the former &lt;br&gt;National Party&amp;#39;s Normative Economic Model - that is, it marked considerable &lt;br&gt; continuity in ideological orientation and underlined the ability of monopoly &lt;br&gt;capital to easily switch political horses (a reality we cannot afford to &lt;br&gt;forget in the current post-Polokwane situation). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.3. Should strategic planning be subordinated to financial management? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The excessive centrality of Treasury right down to the present is at the &lt;br&gt;heart of many of the challenges we confront in transforming the state and &lt;br&gt;driving forward the NDR. It should be acknowledged that the Treasury has &lt;br&gt; developed some capacity rivalling many departments in government. However, &lt;br&gt;in the absence of an effective strategic planning and coordination capacity &lt;br&gt;in the state, Treasury has assumed most of these key integrative roles. But &lt;br&gt; Treasury&amp;#39;s mandate and key competence lies in financial management and this &lt;br&gt;means that planning in the state is largely reduced to bureaucratic &lt;br&gt;compliance with a medium-term budget cycle that emphasises financial &lt;br&gt; management and mechanical templates. Evaluation of performance is reduced to &lt;br&gt;measuring ability to spend a budget. For the Treasury the principal concern &lt;br&gt;is the preservation of its macro-targets while the actual quality of outputs &lt;br&gt; is liable to be less central. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This results in the dislocation of any effective strategic coherence with a &lt;br&gt;string of unintegrated and unstrategic mega-projects often dominating &lt;br&gt;budgetary allocations - arms procurement, Coega, Gautrain, Pebble Bed &lt;br&gt; Modular Reactor, Dube Tradeport, 2010, etc. Many of these are big &lt;br&gt;infrastructural programmes with little thought about their sustainability &lt;br&gt;beyond the construction phase. In all probability many of these represent &lt;br&gt; corporate/comprador enclaves for private accumulation. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many other cases, key strategic &amp;quot;apex priority projects&amp;quot; are lumped into &lt;br&gt;a general queue of bidders wooing middle-ranking Treasury officials. Instead &lt;br&gt;of the state capacitating and resourcing strategically key transformational &lt;br&gt; objectives (eg. land reform and rural development, or industrial policy) &lt;br&gt;these areas are dumbed down in the budgetary process on the grounds that &lt;br&gt;their &amp;quot;business plans&amp;quot; are unconvincing. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The attempt to introduce some degree of integrative coherence into the state &lt;br&gt;via the clusters has also generally not been successful. The clustering &lt;br&gt;system brings together several line department ministers, but there is no &lt;br&gt; hierarchy among ministers and in many of the clusters there are prolonged &lt;br&gt;and sterile deadlocks - the most notable being the long-delayed conversion &lt;br&gt;of TV broadcasting to digital. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The coherence of the post-1994 democratic state is further compromised by &lt;br&gt;dysfunctionalities between the three spheres of government. Provinces in &lt;br&gt;particular are often responsible for problematic major mega-projects and the &lt;br&gt; hollowing out of local government has often reduced municipalities into &lt;br&gt;tendering agencies with all the attendant dangers of corruption. At the &lt;br&gt;provincial and local level, the state is increasingly less and less an &lt;br&gt; implementer and more and more a tender processor. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, as the SACP has raised at the May 2008 Alliance Summit, the &lt;br&gt;configuration of national departments appears to be problematic. Among the &lt;br&gt;suggestions made by the SACP are: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A single rural development department rather than an &lt;br&gt;under-resourced land affairs department as a junior partner to agriculture &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The separation of Minerals and Energy into two departments, to &lt;br&gt;prevent the capture of energy policy by mining interests, and to ensure that &lt;br&gt;there is a serious focus on energy security. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Doing away with a department of Public Enterprises, and the &lt;br&gt;allocation of SOEs to the relevant line departments; and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The creation of a department of higher education. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;These are suggestions born out of experience of systemic problems in the &lt;br&gt;functioning of the state. We obviously need to weigh up the pros and cons of &lt;br&gt;such suggestions in a robust engagement with our alliance partners. For &lt;br&gt; instance, the existence of DPE is a reality inherited from the pre-1994 &lt;br&gt;period when it was set up as a small privatisation department. Under the &lt;br&gt;present minister, in particular, its privatisation agenda has been reversed &lt;br&gt; and the department has been used to build a powerful cross-cutting entity. &lt;br&gt;This may well have saved key SOEs from further plundering. On the other &lt;br&gt;hand, the location of Transnet, Coega, SAA, the PBMR, and Eskom under the &lt;br&gt; DPE results (or may result) in serious strategic conflicts with other line &lt;br&gt;departments (Transport, Minerals and Energy) with resulting incoherence, &lt;br&gt;deadlocks and stand-offs. It is also hard to understand the logic of why &lt;br&gt; some major SOEs are with DPE, and others (eg. ACSA) are not. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We also need to appreciate that a major restructuring of departments will &lt;br&gt;not be an easy task, and the inevitable destabilising problems will need to &lt;br&gt;be weighed up against the potential advantages. However, having said this, &lt;br&gt; it is also critical to note that the coming few months are the best possible &lt;br&gt;time to prepare for any such major restructuring - before a new government &lt;br&gt;with its incumbent personalities becomes embedded. If any of this is to &lt;br&gt; happen we need to move very rapidly with our alliance partners in processing &lt;br&gt;the budgetary, staffing, etc. implications. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;(The proposals made in regard to the restructuring of national departments &lt;br&gt;should be read in conjunction with the proposals made below around a &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Council of State&amp;quot;.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.4. An institutional centre for government-wide planning &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Central to all that has been stated above is the argument that capitalist &lt;br&gt;hegemony over the post-1994 state has been facilitated by (and in turn it &lt;br&gt;has exacerbated) the absence of a strategic national democratic &lt;br&gt; developmental (as opposed to budgetary/macro-economic) planning and &lt;br&gt;co-ordination capacity in the state. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;If we are to build working class hegemony in the state then addressing this &lt;br&gt;absence becomes absolutely critical. We have resolved that the ANC and the &lt;br&gt;Alliance must constitute the strategic political centre. But there is little &lt;br&gt; prospect of this being realised in practice if there is not technical and &lt;br&gt;institutional capacity within the state to plan, monitor and coordinate our &lt;br&gt;public resources - and therefore to discipline capital. An Alliance &lt;br&gt; political centre might resolve on driving the strategic priority of job &lt;br&gt;creation, but if the state is incoherent, locked into bureaucratic &lt;br&gt;routinism, and captured and fragmented by the cherry-picking interests of &lt;br&gt; compradorist factions within our movement working with monopoly capital, &lt;br&gt;then there is little prospect of driving through strategic transformation. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is in this context that the ANC&amp;#39;s 52nd Conference resolution on economic &lt;br&gt;transformation is especially important. Its opening paragraphs read: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;THEREFORE RESOLVES &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To build the strategic, organisational and technical capacities of the &lt;br&gt;government with a view to a democratic developmental state, through: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1.1 &amp;nbsp;A strengthened role for the central organs of state, including through &lt;br&gt;the creation of an institutional centre for government-wide economic &lt;br&gt;planning with the necessary resources and authority to prepare and implement &lt;br&gt; long and medium term economic and development planning. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;1.2 &amp;nbsp;The integration, harmonisation and alignment of planning and &lt;br&gt;implementation across all three spheres of government, and with the &lt;br&gt;development finance institutions and state- owned enterprises, including &lt;br&gt; through the development of coherent inter-sectoral plans at national level &lt;br&gt;and the alignment of local implementation in terms of the IDPs of metro, &lt;br&gt;district and local municipalities.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is an excellent starting point for the work that must be taken forward &lt;br&gt;urgently in the coming weeks and months. The ANC NEC Economic Transformation &lt;br&gt;Committee has set up a series of alliance task groups to take forward &lt;br&gt; Polokwane economic resolutions, including the above planning resolution. It &lt;br&gt;is critical that the SACP supports all of this work and actively contributes &lt;br&gt;to it. Indeed, the SACP has a key role to play. The Party can and must place &lt;br&gt; at the centre of the discussion the class and social transformation issues &lt;br&gt;at stake in the restructuring of the state, thus avoiding an unseemly and &lt;br&gt;unprincipled advocacy of restructuring that is linked to personal or &lt;br&gt; factional calculations. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In supporting and taking forward the Polokwane resolution for &amp;quot;the creation &lt;br&gt;of an institutional centre for government-wide economic planning with the &lt;br&gt;necessary resources and authority&amp;quot;, the SACP must also propose: &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That this planning centre be located within the presidency; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That this planning centre embraces not just economic planning, but &lt;br&gt;planning in general; and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That in order to ensure that what is planned is indeed &lt;br&gt;coordinated, implemented, and objectively evaluated, the reconfiguration of &lt;br&gt;the executive (touched upon above) needs to be urgently taken forward. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3.4. A Council of State &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;South Africa has a relatively large cabinet by international standards. The &lt;br&gt;UK cabinet, for instance, consists of 14 people - the PM and &amp;quot;cabinet &lt;br&gt;secretaries&amp;quot; (who are senior ministers). However, the UK executive is &lt;br&gt; considerably larger than the actual cabinet, with many additional ministers &lt;br&gt;(there is even, currently, a Minister for the Olympic Games in preparation &lt;br&gt;for the 2012 London Olympics). Unlike our deputy ministers (another position &lt;br&gt; that is generally dysfunctional and fraught with systemic problems) UK &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;junior&amp;quot; ministers have their own dedicated departments and budgets. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many countries have this kind of two-tier executive structure - including &lt;br&gt;Cuba, China, New Zealand, Australia and India. In the two former cases, the &lt;br&gt;senior ministers (&amp;quot;ministers of state&amp;quot;) form a collective known as a &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;council of state&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We should urgently consider the possibilities of a similar arrangement. &lt;br&gt;Consideration should be given to a council of state led by the presidency &lt;br&gt;and comprising around seven additional &amp;quot;ministers of state&amp;quot; - for example: &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Finance, Economic Development, Infrastructure, Human Development, &lt;br&gt;Governance, International Relations, and Crime Prevention and Justice. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The council of state should be the key planning, coordination, and &lt;br&gt;evaluating structure. Each minister of state would convene a cluster of line &lt;br&gt;department ministers - e.g. the human development minister of state would &lt;br&gt; convene the ministers of labour, education, tertiary education, health, &lt;br&gt;sports and recreation, and arts and culture. The minister of state for &lt;br&gt;infrastructure would convene a cluster of line department ministers (eg. &lt;br&gt; housing, energy, water, communications, transport, perhaps environment), &lt;br&gt;etc. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The precise details need to be refined, but the core principles are: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; that &amp;quot;senior&amp;quot; council of state ministers should have overall &lt;br&gt;planning, coordination and evaluation responsibilities for their clusters &lt;br&gt;and they should be insulated from specific line department functions (for &lt;br&gt; example the awarding of tenders). In this way we should endeavour to close &lt;br&gt;the gaps for any corporate incursions - we must make the strategic plan and &lt;br&gt;not lobbying the driving factor. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; That by having a hierarchy (and a strategic plan derived &lt;br&gt;hierarchy) within clusters, we can also avoid the debilitating effect of &lt;br&gt;deadlocks within clusters that have been a feature of our recent experience; &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; that macro budget allocations should be decided upon by the &lt;br&gt;collective council of state and not by Treasury on its own. Again this &lt;br&gt;places the plan at the centre and not financial management. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.6. Role of provinces &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The challenges of enclavism and compradorism are particularly rife in &lt;br&gt;provinces. It is in this context that the DPLG-led White Paper process &lt;br&gt;considering the future of provinces and local government is particularly &lt;br&gt; important. The SACP must engage actively with this review process. We cannot &lt;br&gt;leave matters until after April 2009. With new incumbents in place it will &lt;br&gt;become difficult once more to carry through an objective evaluation and at &lt;br&gt; least begin to implement necessary changes. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The SACP must use the occasion of our National Policy Conference to develop &lt;br&gt;more specific policy proposals in regard to the future role and status of &lt;br&gt;provinces. To promote inner-party debate on this matter, the following &lt;br&gt; issues are among those that need to be considered: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There are few (if any) positive developmental examples of &lt;br&gt;countries roughly South Africa&amp;#39;s size in which there are three supposedly &lt;br&gt;equal tiers/spheres of government. It is generally considered that two &lt;br&gt; strong spheres are ideal; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The schedules in the Constitution have not always helped in the &lt;br&gt;assigning of powers to the three spheres. (eg. &amp;quot;public transport&amp;quot; = a shared &lt;br&gt;national/provincial competence, while &amp;quot;municipal public transport&amp;quot; = a &lt;br&gt; municipal competence. But where does the one begin and the other end?). In &lt;br&gt;many sectors, including housing, public transport, and road maintenance, &lt;br&gt;there is a lack of a clearly designated responsibility, and the result is &lt;br&gt; either that provinces and municipalities undermine each other with competing &lt;br&gt;projects (this is very much the case with public transport), or there is &lt;br&gt;non-delivery (rural roads) and everyone blames everyone else. This is &lt;br&gt; further manifested in the many provincialised (often competing) road safety &lt;br&gt;messages, as if we have nine provincial road safety campaigns. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Insofar as the delimitation of our present nine provinces has some &lt;br&gt;rationale, it relates to language/ethnic realities. MOST (probably all) &lt;br&gt;provinces have two or three obviously dominant languages and it is not &lt;br&gt; necessary (or realistic) to expect every province to make equal provision &lt;br&gt;for all 11 official languages. This reality is particularly significant in &lt;br&gt;the delivery of large social responsibilities - education, health-care, &lt;br&gt; social grants, ID documentation, electoral registration, regional &lt;br&gt;broadcasting - that require the interface between the state and individual &lt;br&gt;citizens. There is, therefore, clearly a strong argument (and it is a &lt;br&gt; working class friendly and not just managerialist argument) that the &lt;br&gt;administration of education, health-care, social grants, etc. requires some &lt;br&gt;kind of provincialised/second tier adaptation and specialisation. But does &lt;br&gt; this mean that we need provincial GOVERNMENTS and LEGISLATURES as opposed to &lt;br&gt;provincial administrations under their respective national departments? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Is the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) an effective entity or &lt;br&gt;is it dysfunctional? Is it able to obtain meaningful provincial mandates? &lt;br&gt;Are its members able to cope with the deluge of legislation confronting &lt;br&gt; them? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.7. Transforming the local state - building working class hegemony locally &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;If provinces are potentially valuable in the state/citizen relationship, the &lt;br&gt;local state is in principle the best locus for fostering the relationship &lt;br&gt;between the state and the community. To put it in more technical terms, &lt;br&gt; municipalities are, in principle, better placed to deal with built &lt;br&gt;environment challenges - i.e. the spatial transformation of apartheid &lt;br&gt;villages, towns and cities through an integrated and planned approach to &lt;br&gt; housing development, provision and maintenance of community infrastructure, &lt;br&gt;public transport, parks and recreational facilities. Currently many of these &lt;br&gt;functions are controlled entirely or partially by national or provincial &lt;br&gt; government (operating licences for minibuses and buses, bus subsidies, &lt;br&gt;libraries, RDP housing, EPWPs, CDWs). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The local sphere of government is the sphere in which popular working class &lt;br&gt;hegemony can, in principle, be most directly exerted through local organs of &lt;br&gt;popular power, CBOs, etc. But for this to become an effective reality, real &lt;br&gt; powers and resources need to be devolved to the local sphere, and local &lt;br&gt;government needs to be actively democratised by opening it up to &lt;br&gt;participatory democratic practices. In particular, the planning and &lt;br&gt;budgeting functions need to be opened up to participatory involvement as &lt;br&gt; called for in the Municipal Structures Act 2000, and other municipal &lt;br&gt;legislation. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another critical question we have to address is that of the relationship &lt;br&gt;between district and municipal level government. In addition, consideration &lt;br&gt;should be given to strengthening the district level of local government and &lt;br&gt; locate some of the national and provincial functions like health and &lt;br&gt;agriculture at that level. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.8. Three SPHERES of government or three TIERS? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In theory, in our constitution, the three spheres of government are equal &lt;br&gt;but with different functions. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;We have already argued that the rationale for the functional allocation of &lt;br&gt;responsibilities is often unclear, and in practice there are many confusions &lt;br&gt;and disputed overlaps. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;But in addition to this problem, although we refer to three equal spheres, &lt;br&gt;in practice, we have a hierarchy in which the municipal sphere is treated as &lt;br&gt;the least important. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is evident in many things: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Minmecs exclude mayors &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The twice yearly Cabinet makgotla involve national ministers and &lt;br&gt;DGs, MECs and premiers and ONE SALGA representative, but not the major metro &lt;br&gt;executive mayors who are handling budgets much larger than many cabinet &lt;br&gt; ministers, let alone MECs; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The Constitution provides for an NCOP with 10 non-voting delegates &lt;br&gt;from the municipal sphere. SALGA has never taken up these seats - perhaps &lt;br&gt;because of a lack of capacity, perhaps because there is a sense of futility &lt;br&gt; at being a mere add-on. If we are going to have a second chamber, why should &lt;br&gt;provinces be privileged over what is meant to be an equally important &lt;br&gt;sphere? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The present ANC NEC has only one mayor in its ranks, but plenty of &lt;br&gt;MPs, ministers and MECs - indeed, ANC politics has become provincialised and &lt;br&gt;ANC national conferences (like SACP congresses) tend to be organised around &lt;br&gt; provincial lobby groups. (To what extent has the state institutionalisation &lt;br&gt;of provinces undermined our attempt to build a single non-racial South &lt;br&gt;African identity on the one hand, and a shared non-racial sense of community &lt;br&gt; at the local level?) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In flagging all of these matters, particularly in regard to provinces, we &lt;br&gt;should appreciate that the general proposals implicit here, like the &lt;br&gt;important DPLG white paper policy process, will be too late to achieve a &lt;br&gt; complete transformation of the provincial sphere (assuming that is what we &lt;br&gt;agree should happen) before elections in 2009. It is unlikely that the &lt;br&gt;constitution will be changed in time to abolish (for argument&amp;#39;s sake) &lt;br&gt; provincial sphere elections for legislatures before April next year. &lt;br&gt;However, a robust and honest appraisal of what we have learnt from 14 years &lt;br&gt;experience with provinces and three spheres of government is critical right &lt;br&gt; now. Once we have generally agreed on the broad direction in which we need &lt;br&gt;to travel, we can then begin to consider IMMEDIATE AND SHORTER-TERM &lt;br&gt;TRANSITIONAL MEASURES - e.g.: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; using legislation to re-assign functions (eg. the current National &lt;br&gt;Land Transport Bill envisages devolving key public transport functions like &lt;br&gt;bus subsidies and operating licences to metros) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; paying greater attention to deployments and capacity-building in &lt;br&gt;the local sphere; and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; changing the character of Minmecs and cabinet Makgotla to give &lt;br&gt;greater weighting to the municipal sphere, etc. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In addition to the above: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the SACP should make a formal submission to the DPLG White Paper &lt;br&gt;policy process on the future of provinces and local government from a &lt;br&gt;working class perspective &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;CHAPTER 4. STATE REPRESSIVE APPARATUSES &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;4.1. The State and the Security Forces. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;South Africa&amp;#39;s post-1994 reality has involved features that we too easily &lt;br&gt;take for granted. We have had a radical NLM movement, in alliance with a &lt;br&gt;communist party and socialist-oriented trade union movement, coming to power &lt;br&gt; and democratically retaining power over nearly a decade-and-a-half, without &lt;br&gt;particularly having to look constantly over our shoulders and worry about &lt;br&gt;any serious potential military counter-revolution. Why? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This was certainly not a luxury enjoyed by the Cubans after 1959, or by the &lt;br&gt;Chilean left in the early 1970s after their democratic presidential &lt;br&gt;electoral victory. It is not a luxury currently enjoyed by the ruling &lt;br&gt; progressive forces in Venezuela - for them, what happens in the barracks &lt;br&gt;from day to day can be a matter of life and death. In many other societies, &lt;br&gt;including Zimbabwe, Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, and the DRC, armed forces loom &lt;br&gt; much larger as protagonists on the political stage than in our case. And, &lt;br&gt;generally speaking (but not always), they tend to act as an anti-democratic &lt;br&gt;factor blocking ongoing transformation and socio-economic development and &lt;br&gt; undermining the hegemonic capacity of a civilian working class and &lt;br&gt;peasantry. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are of course cases where the armed forces play an absolutely central &lt;br&gt;patriotic and progressive role. In Cuba they remain an important cornerstone &lt;br&gt;of the defence of socialist gains (in this case they are deeply integrated &lt;br&gt; into Cuban civil society through CDRs, and they have a clear political &lt;br&gt;culture and strategic focus that is both patriotic and internationalist). In &lt;br&gt;Venezuela the majority of the armed forces (for the moment), supported by &lt;br&gt; popular mobilisation, have acted decisively in defence of democratic gains &lt;br&gt;and constitutionalism. In other cases, the national armed forces have, at &lt;br&gt;one stage or another, played a critical role in the defence of national &lt;br&gt; sovereignty (Zimbabwe in the face of apartheid-era destabilisation, Angola, &lt;br&gt;Algeria in the face of extremist religious reaction), but have had a &lt;br&gt;tendency thereafter to acquire a problematic and anti-developmental life and &lt;br&gt; logic of their own. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;So why has our reality been somewhat different? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are several explanatory factors - but at the heart of these is the &lt;br&gt;fact that South African monopoly capital and its global allies have adopted &lt;br&gt;a &amp;quot;war of position&amp;quot; (rather than a &amp;quot;war of manoeuvre&amp;quot;) strategy to blunt, &lt;br&gt; subvert and hijack the NDR. In other words, they have adopted a bourgeois &lt;br&gt;version of our own working class MTV (medium term vision) - i.e. they are &lt;br&gt;waging a &amp;quot;war of position&amp;quot;, a struggle to consolidate bourgeois hegemony in &lt;br&gt; every trench of our state and broader society on the terrain of our new &lt;br&gt;constitutional democracy itself. This is not a dramatic frontal assault to &lt;br&gt;seize the commanding heights of power (the presidential palace, the TV &lt;br&gt; station, and the airport), to abolish the constitution and install a &lt;br&gt;pro-imperialist junta, but rather an insidious and continuous struggle for &lt;br&gt;class hegemony across all sites of power from the Reserve Bank to the school &lt;br&gt; class-room, and including the ruling party itself. And the relative success &lt;br&gt;of this strategy is manifested in the relative success of the 1996 class &lt;br&gt;project. The relative defeat of the 1996 class project in Polokwane does &lt;br&gt; not, however, represent a defeat of this strategy. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The fact that monopoly capital in South Africa has adopted a war of position &lt;br&gt;strategy (i.e. of acting within the ambit of the rule of law and our &lt;br&gt;democratic constitution), does not mean that it is beyond the bounds of &lt;br&gt; possibility that they could revert to a different frontal assault &lt;br&gt;(right-wing coup), &amp;quot;war of manoeuvre&amp;quot; strategy some time in the future. Much &lt;br&gt;would depend on a variety of global and local realities, including our own &lt;br&gt; conduct and capacities. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;However: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the relatively advanced (i.e. relatively non-enclave) nature of &lt;br&gt;our capitalist economy and society; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the relatively fresh memory (for monopoly capital) of the historic &lt;br&gt;inability of the PW Botha securocratic military-command state to secure &lt;br&gt;conditions for capitalist accumulation (a key factor behind monopoly &lt;br&gt; capital&amp;#39;s promotion of a negotiated settlement in the late 1980s), and &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; the absence of any serious conventional military threat &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The organisational strength of the working class in our country &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Are all key factors that contribute to both monopoly capital AND progressive &lt;br&gt;forces in South Africa engaging in a war of position. The strategies and &lt;br&gt;tactics of a war of position mean, in our case, that we understand the &lt;br&gt; revolution to be a process of transformation of &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;revolutionary/transformational&amp;quot; reforms. For monopoly capital, their war of &lt;br&gt;position dictates an understanding of counter-revolution as a process of &lt;br&gt;winning over the ruling party and consolidating the state around a &lt;br&gt; capitalist accumulation agenda. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;More critical for the development of our own strategies in the present is &lt;br&gt;the importance of realising that, while we are up against a monopoly capital &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;war of position&amp;quot; strategy in which the armed forces factor does not loom &lt;br&gt; particularly large, it would be a grave error to imagine that monopoly &lt;br&gt;capital does not have any strategy in regard to our armed forces. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;As we know, Marxism has classically regarded the armed forces as central to &lt;br&gt;the question of state power. In the light of this, it is embarrassing to &lt;br&gt;admit how little strategic attention since 1994 the SACP (and, indeed, the &lt;br&gt; Alliance in general) has paid to the question of the armed forces in our &lt;br&gt;country. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our 12th National Congress resolutions and programme (SARS) have a few &lt;br&gt;passing and minor references to this topic. The ANC&amp;#39;s 52nd National &lt;br&gt;Conference resolutions provide no strategic thinking on why we need an &lt;br&gt; SANDF, on what kind of SANDF we have and/or need (in terms of size, the &lt;br&gt;profile of personnel, weaponry, deployment, democratic culture and &lt;br&gt;doctrine), on what strategic considerations (including &amp;quot;threat analyses&amp;quot;) &lt;br&gt; might ground such views; and, above all, on what we have learned over the &lt;br&gt;past 14 years. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;The ANC&amp;#39;s Polokwane resolutions&amp;#39; only significant reference to our armed &lt;br&gt;forces is by way of an important (from a human point of view) but entirely &lt;br&gt;welfarist resolution on the plight of military veterans. That is, we are &lt;br&gt; dealing with one symptom of a major systemic challenge, without engaging &lt;br&gt;comprehensively with the substantive issue itself. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the broader public debate, we have allowed the &amp;quot;arms deal&amp;quot; debacle to &lt;br&gt;become the centre-piece, while abandoning serious strategic and technical &lt;br&gt;military analysis to think-tanks dominated by former apartheid-era military &lt;br&gt; intelligence operatives and officers. (Which is not to say that everything &lt;br&gt;the latter write is worthless, on the contrary. But it surely needs strong &lt;br&gt;ideological filtering at the very least). It is unclear what strategic &lt;br&gt; policy input our parliamentary committees and study groups in this area have &lt;br&gt;made over the last 14 years, and the same applies to the NEC&amp;#39;s relevant &lt;br&gt;subcommittee. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, many reports suggest that the technical and skills situation in &lt;br&gt;much of the SANDF is unravelling, that morale is low, and that the R50bn &lt;br&gt;first phase of arms procurement has resulted in the purchase of equipment &lt;br&gt; that is often irrelevant to current challenges and deployments, or that we &lt;br&gt;are unable to maintain operationally. The Chinese arms shipment destined for &lt;br&gt;Zimbabwe exposed gaps between our military and our political policies and &lt;br&gt; relevant state apparatuses, and, according to at least some reports, our &lt;br&gt;country did not even have the capacity to continuously monitor the location &lt;br&gt;of the Chinese vessel as it sailed around our coast. (This may, or may not, &lt;br&gt; be true). &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many ways what has transpired on the military front in regard to the &lt;br&gt;SANDF is a microcosm of the overall impact of the 1996 class project on the &lt;br&gt;new South African state. Many of the senior ANC/MK deployees into the SANDF &lt;br&gt; appear to have willingly allowed themselves to be compradorised by the &lt;br&gt;international arms companies working with and through former SADF senior &lt;br&gt;commanders. Many of these &amp;quot;deployees&amp;quot; have left the SANDF and set themselves &lt;br&gt; up in a variety of defence-related companies and consultancies, with their &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;deployment&amp;quot; having served the personal purpose of primary accumulation. &lt;br&gt;According to reports much of the remaining black senior command level in the &lt;br&gt; SANDF is content with a ceremonial role and endless overseas conferences, &lt;br&gt;playing little active role in the management and strategic direction of the &lt;br&gt;SANDF. Effective operational command is said to be largely in the hands of a &lt;br&gt; second layer senior command dominated by white officers from the previous &lt;br&gt;era, while the mass of black junior officers and NCOs feel marginalized, &lt;br&gt;abandoned by their erstwhile MK seniors, and disgruntled. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many middle-ranking personnel (from both the former statutory and &lt;br&gt;non-statutory forces, as well as from the police service) have set &lt;br&gt;themselves up in private security companies operating nationally, &lt;br&gt;continentally (often protecting South African mining enclave interests in &lt;br&gt; various African countries), and internationally (notably working with &lt;br&gt;US-occupation forces in Iraq). All of this has further contributed to the &lt;br&gt;privatisation and hollowing-out of the state - including the potentially &lt;br&gt; very dangerous proliferation of armed private companies. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Have we been too complacent about these developments? Have we seen (along &lt;br&gt;with monopoly capital in South Africa) the compradorism, the primitive &lt;br&gt;accumulation, the multiplication of private security companies, and the &lt;br&gt; significant numbers of former apartheid trained forces working in places &lt;br&gt;like Iraq as &amp;quot;regrettable&amp;quot; but at least a helpful &amp;quot;escape valve&amp;quot; to rid us &lt;br&gt;of the unpredictable threat of too many highly trained and disgruntled &lt;br&gt; military personnel sitting around in barracks? As tempting (and as partially &lt;br&gt;valid) as this might be, it is a very short-sighted perspective that plays &lt;br&gt;directly into the hands of an agenda of weakening, enclaving and &lt;br&gt; compradorising the new democratic state. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;While the SANDF situation might not be as dire as some reports suggest, it &lt;br&gt;would be hard to deny that as the SACP and as the wider ANC-led alliance we &lt;br&gt;have been relatively careless about the armed forces situation in our &lt;br&gt; country. If we are serious about advancing, deepening and defending the NDR, &lt;br&gt;and if, as the SACP, we are serious about our MTV vision, then we can no &lt;br&gt;longer afford this carelessness. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;So what is to be done? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Together with our allies we must ensure a serious strategic &lt;br&gt;evaluation of our defence capabilities and needs, and we need to assess the &lt;br&gt;state of health of the SANDF and its various components. In other words, no &lt;br&gt; less than any other sector, the defence sector must come under political &lt;br&gt;strategic evaluation, coordination and control. Like any other sector, &lt;br&gt;defence no doubt has its own technical and professional requirements, and &lt;br&gt; there are also national security considerations requiring confidentiality - &lt;br&gt;but none of this can be an excuse to evade serious political (and indeed &lt;br&gt;public) scrutiny and debate. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Which also means that, as we take forward the reconfiguration of &lt;br&gt;the state at a high level, it is imperative that the defence sector is &lt;br&gt;coordinated within an overall strategic developmental plan, and does not &lt;br&gt; exist in a strategic stand-alone enclave. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; More specifically, the role of the SANDF in regard to a wide range &lt;br&gt;of national priorities needs to be much more carefully thought-through, &lt;br&gt;analysed and integrated with other initiatives, including in regard to: &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Job creation and skills development; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The NDR in Africa - what is our strategic understanding of &lt;br&gt;peace-keeping missions? &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The protection of our economic assets, including marine resources. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;o &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Safe-guarding our medium- and longer-term national energy security. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;4.2. THE STATE AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the SANDF has been relatively run-down, compradorised, privatised, and if &lt;br&gt;there are serious challenges in regard to discipline and morale, then these &lt;br&gt;problems are, unfortunately, even greater in some parts of the criminal &lt;br&gt; justice system, and especially in the SAPS. Much of our criminal justice &lt;br&gt;system is failing the people of South Africa, and particularly the working &lt;br&gt;class and the poor. The recent revelation that some 700,000 criminal dockets &lt;br&gt; were turned away by the courts in one year is just one shocking indicator of &lt;br&gt;the state&amp;#39;s inability to protect the lives and property of its citizens. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;A comprehensive review of the many challenges confronting this sector is &lt;br&gt;beyond the scope of this discussion paper, but the radical transformation of &lt;br&gt;the criminal justice system must be a central priority of any incoming &lt;br&gt; government in 2009. The Polokwane resolution on the dissolution of the &lt;br&gt;Scorpions has helped to open up one small corner of the challenge for &lt;br&gt;democratic debate and evaluation. It is critical that we broaden the process &lt;br&gt; to consider the entire criminal justice system. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;In carrying forward such a transformation a number of key principles need to &lt;br&gt;be observed: &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The SACP (like the ANC and COSATU) has consistently argued that we &lt;br&gt;stand for the rule of law and that we unambiguously support our Constitution &lt;br&gt;(indeed, all the core values of the Constitution and Bill of Rights have &lt;br&gt; emerged directly and organically from our struggle). Of course, there is &lt;br&gt;still a class &amp;quot;war of position&amp;quot; over the meaning and interpretation of the &lt;br&gt;Constitution. It is a &amp;quot;war&amp;quot; that progressive forces in SA have, so far, &lt;br&gt; generally succeeded in hegemonising, sometimes in the face of opposition &lt;br&gt;from 1996 class project forces within our own movement - see, for instance, &lt;br&gt;Constitutional Court and/or High Court rulings on HIV/AIDS treatment, the &lt;br&gt; right to housing, water meters, etc.; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; For the SACP this commitment to a progressive rule of law and to &lt;br&gt;our democratic Constitution is not only a matter of principle. Almost &lt;br&gt;invariably, particularly in developing countries, where there is the &lt;br&gt; suspension of the rule of law (and whatever the initial reasons advanced for &lt;br&gt;its suspension - often &amp;quot;anti-imperialist&amp;quot; demagogy), communist parties, &lt;br&gt;trade unions, and other progressive forces soon become the major victims of &lt;br&gt; crack-downs and persecution (from Indira Gandhi&amp;#39;s states of emergency to &lt;br&gt;Mugabe&amp;#39;s Zimbabwe, Mswati&amp;#39;s Swaziland through to the even more horrific &lt;br&gt;cases of brutal communist suppression in Sudan, Indonesia, Iraq, Chile, &lt;br&gt; etc.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The struggle to build a coherent, working-class biased, &lt;br&gt;developmental state involves a struggle against the grave dangers of &lt;br&gt;factionalising the state apparatus, and particularly sensitive areas of the &lt;br&gt; state apparatus like courts, prosecutorial authorities, SAPS investigators, &lt;br&gt;and the intelligence services. Unfortunately there have been worrying &lt;br&gt;developments over the last several years in this regard. The SACP needs to &lt;br&gt; be in the forefront of fighting against such tendencies. We need to fight &lt;br&gt;for the integrity, the professionalism and the independence of the Criminal &lt;br&gt;Justice System and its component parts. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; However, integrity, professionalism and independence must not be &lt;br&gt;understood to mean that the Criminal Justice System and its component parts &lt;br&gt;(eg. courts, or intelligence services) are above criticism, or should be &lt;br&gt; aloof from and beyond public scrutiny. On the contrary, the best defence of &lt;br&gt;the rule of law and of the Constitution is an active, vigilant, informed &lt;br&gt;citizenry - and particularly an organised working class. (The unfolding &lt;br&gt; Venezuelan reality is a prime contemporary example of just this.) &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Which is also to say that the transformation of the Criminal &lt;br&gt;Justice System must, in part, be led from the ground up. This is why the &lt;br&gt;SACP has supported the ANC&amp;#39;s call for the formation of street committees to &lt;br&gt; help communities to build cohesion, and to protect and to defend themselves &lt;br&gt;against criminal depredation while working closely with community policing &lt;br&gt;forums, neighbourhood watches .AND with the police. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This last point is important. Among some (still) relatively &lt;br&gt;isolated groupings (groupings that might be quite properly characterised as &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;ultra-left&amp;quot;), a central objective is to &amp;quot;prove&amp;quot; to workers that the present &lt;br&gt; ANC state is &amp;quot;inherently bourgeois and reactionary&amp;quot;. While often taking up &lt;br&gt;legitimate popular grievances, these forces seek to provoke the police and &lt;br&gt;other state authorities into repressive measures in order to &amp;quot;prove&amp;quot; their &lt;br&gt; point - i.e. that &amp;quot;the present state cannot be transformed, it must be &lt;br&gt;overthrown&amp;quot;. (Whatever the provocation from these quarters, this does not of &lt;br&gt;course justify unacceptable police actions that we have sometimes seen). &lt;br&gt; This kind of sterile politics of heightened confrontationalism with ordinary &lt;br&gt;police-men and women who are, after all, also workers, is potentially &lt;br&gt;dangerous and easily plays into the hands of seriously reactionary forces. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In other words, our strategy in building street committees and &lt;br&gt;other organs of localised popular power is NOT a dual power strategy. It is &lt;br&gt;not a strategy of building an alternative power with a view, sooner or &lt;br&gt; later, to displacing the present democratic state. It is not a strategy &lt;br&gt;whose objective is a sudden &amp;quot;war of manoeuvre&amp;quot; &amp;quot;when the time is ripe&amp;quot;. It &lt;br&gt;is a &amp;quot;war of position&amp;quot; strategy - i.e. a strategy to progressively transform &lt;br&gt; society and the state, a strategy of building working class hegemony in all &lt;br&gt;sites of power. &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;CHAPTER 5. TRANSITIONAL MEASURES &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Underpinning all of what has already been asserted is the view that, in many &lt;br&gt;respects, the ANC-led alliance now finds itself in a transitional phase. At &lt;br&gt;its most obvious, the transitional nature of the current phase is marked by &lt;br&gt; the certainty that the presidency of the country will change in the first &lt;br&gt;half of next
