The new uMkhonto weSizwe or MK party of south africa claims ties to socialism, but is a FALSE CONSCIOUS PARTY! It has far right social views and is being used by many right wingers to cannibalize the EFF and to hurt its prestige. Sadly it succeeded in the 2024 elections by taking away the spot of 3rd largest party from Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters! Although there are several suspicions of tampering by the government in order to make sure that no popular explicit pan african communist organization comes to power.
The MK party is a direct response to the EFF’s TRUELY COMMUNIST political organization, and to its unwavering support for the LGBTQ community, staunch feminism, and true economic socialism. the MK party is a fraud! The party of the corrupt president Zuma!
Do not look at this rising ‘socialist’ power in south africa with joy, it is a false concious movement that poaches conservatives and socialists alike in order to maintain a status quo. It wants to ban gender and sexual minorities in south africa. Its foreign policy is WEAK and would probably be co-opted into pro western movements. It is trying to manipulate the Progressive Caucus alliance from within to weaken the truly revolutionary Economic Freedom Fighters!
Julius Malema is the person that South Africa needs! A true socialist! A true anti imperialist! The EFF is the party the People need! The TRUE party of Mandela, continuing his real legacy.
We can only hope that the EFF can come back from its defeat to rise once more! Or the tides of the EFF revolution will sweep the nation if need be!
