SOCIALISM, CAPITALISM OR COMMUNISM,WHICH IS WHICH?
The debate on whether Socialism, CAPITALISM, Communism, Liberalisation or, Democracy works and which of them must be preferred by Zambians in Zambia in the 2nd millennium is a very very interesting and health debate and development in the country’s politics.
The existing parties never provided any ideological alternatives to the ruling party save the competition on which party had many insultants and insulted the most and had the most unruly cadres.
For the first time since 1991, the political space will be polluted with issue-based discourses, civility, research and evidence based debates which had eluded us for the past 3 decades.
The coming of socialist party may be blessing in disguise as it will act a cleaning political broom with its socialism ideology.
So far its has shifted the politics of the country from insults, demeaning, name-calling now in practice to ideological focus which may also reduce politically oriented-defamation cases in the country.
This is very health for the country as debating idoelogical issues than insults and names of politicians must be encouraged and supported by all democracy loving Zambians.
Once again, this may help politician to engage in clean politics undertake a great paradigm shift in our political discourses.
Never should one feel that one politician has touched the nerves of another but this ideological alternative will help citizens compare and contrasts which ideology caused the country’s economic malaise more than the other and why moreso that both Socialism and CAPITALISM have been tested in Zambia.
Thanks to Socialist Party for swaying the political debates and politics in Zambia to a more sanitised direction through your ideological alternative.
I love it and let us all debate and engage the debate GEARS.
