Mangaung presents an opportunity to all revolutionaries to swell the ranks and defend our national liberation movement against the wishes of our adversaries.
Karl Marx would always say ' the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, the class which is the ruling material force is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. Tthe class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant relationships grasped as ideas'.
This profound exposition by our world renowned philosopher and the founder of our world communist movement is constantly becoming more relevant at all material times than ever before. The exposition continues to correspond with the conjectural realities of our analysis of the world class balance of forces that correctly so positions the struggles of the working class to be at the matrix of a complex volatile world environment.
It is therefore as a consequences of this dominant material relationship by the world accumulation regime, that the working class finds itself having to take forward the struggles for the construction of a new world social order, under difficult conditions juxtaposed by the hostile world class contradictions. Our analysis therefore of the unfolding world events should precipitate from a terrain that interrogate the massive influence these dominant ideas of the imperialist forces have on our contemporary post war transitional period.
The immediate task of our struggles within these hostile post war material conditions is to confront the aggressive posture the military industrial complex has assumed within the world body politics. It is from this context that we comprehend the poisonous theatre posed by the fragile world milieu and the impact it has on the outlook of the progressive struggles waged by the people of the world, including our own national democratic revolution.
It therefore becomes the urgent task of all revolutionaries within our national liberation movement and more particularly, without fear of any contradictions, members of our communist party, to play a more central role in influencing the positions our country resort to from time to time at the multilateral level. We have the revolutionary task of ensuring that our democratic government always act in consistence with the common principles of working solidarity and internationalism, in her endeavor to create better living conditions for the poor people of the world.
