Political Notebook#21: Vavi on crass materialism in the ANC

Please be patient while the player loads...
 

Cosatu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi warns that crass materialism in the ANC deserves special attention, saying there is a small gang of bullies within the ANC who are trying to hijack the organisation for their own interests.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

373 in total or approximately 70%
Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It’s the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT – (The same group of morons that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line!)

Only in ZumZimLand, Mandelatopia!

I have a great respect for Commrade Vavi to speak truth to power. Sir you are the next man to Nelson Mandela to came out and speak against evil or say corruption in this time that is ravaging our country. I thank you from the bottom of my hearts, and I hope and pray that organizations will not be intimidated to expose this massive looting that is going on in the country. Commrade Vavi you are truely not driven by greed and capitalist thinking. I thank you Sir.

The real attack here is on the monetey making system of capitalism.

Destroy that and you not only kill off the materialism, but also the country’s only means of earning money through taxes.

Capitalism might not be perfect, but it’s the best we currently have.

This is a story, told and retold. Although it’s untrue in its origins, it speaks volumes on an important thought about all those who think they’re being clever about “levelling the playing field”.

An economics professor at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The majority of that class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged, everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away, no one will try or succeed.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money” — Margaret Thatcher
