We welcome feedback. ----“The Democrats and the Republicans are both the parties of the ruling class and the billionaires.

The Democrats use the “smile in your face and stab you in the back” philosophy, talking about being concerned about “middle class families” and communities of color, while the Republicans don’t smile and just stab us in the back. Choose your poison. ---- What is different in the current election is the upsurge in struggle from Ferguson to Baltimore to Minneapolis to Milwaukee and beyond.

INTRO ---- South Africa is a morass of wretched inequality, racial tensions and class conflicts, its transition limited & frustrating. Much blame certainly lies with ongoing "white monopoly capital" power, but it’s essential to note major "denationalisation" to foreign capital, and avoid blind-spots towards the state.

A single South African ruling class exists, of (mainly white) private and (mainly black) state elites, which are structurally & programmatically allied and entangled. Elections do not change this, raising the question of whether voting can emancipate the oppressed black working class. ...
