The removal of the apartheid state will be a stop towards the liberation of our people. The working class must play a role in the national democratic struggle. It can only do this effectively if it is strong. The liberation struggle requires work and effective political leadership. It is necessary to combine strategies to achieve our goal.
Capitalist organizations can play no part in building the organizations of the working class.
In certain circumstances, elements of capital may play a part in removing apartheid. Through political analysis, open debate and democratic decision-making, we shall decide how to combine with other organizations. The use of slogans and labels and the politics of cliques cannot combine strategies and as we have learnt to our cost can only weaken and divide us to the benefit of the apartheid state. Experience has taught us that only a socialist society based on a planned economy will address the needs of the working class and transform poverty into a decent standard of living for all. We believe that the mass of South Africa's people must discuss, before our liberation, what form of economic and political system will accommodate the aspirations of our struggle.
