Greetings Comrades
As you know, we went to a near-by industrial city after the conference here. I went there again for a week for the December holidays. Then I went to a more rural area for the holidays where my parents came from. But it turned into another mobilization.

Soldier Organizes His Friends
I met with one guy that I know there who is a soldier. I checked with him about joining our Party. He asked me a lot of questions, the same questions I used to ask when I was joining ICWP. And he asked me if we were going to start anarchy or if we are going to start a war. I said to him that no, we can’t start a war. The capitalists will start a war because of their own contradictions. The reason we are mobilizing soldiers and the industrial working class is because they are the ones who produce everything. The bosses produce nothing. He agreed with me. I told him that all we want is for the working class to turn the guns against the bosses. They will start the war and we will finish it.
Then he organized another two soldiers. They came to my house. So the whole holiday I was with them, explaining dialectics, how it helps resolve contradictions. I also explained that we have to abolish money because it is the root of the problem. If there was no money, then there would be no divisions within the working class, no undermining of other workers. I explained that workers should not be put on different levels, that in capitalism, the worker doing manual work will undermine the worker doing labor work. He also agreed with me.
Then I asked him if he remembered the Codesa negotiations when Mandela and Cyril Ramaphosa were negotiating with the apartheid regime to exchange power. I told him that those negotiations were not good because they were reforming the problem. You can’t reform the problem, we need revolution. In a revolution you can’t negotiate with the capitalists. That’s what happened. Today we are eating the fruits of Nelson Mandela. Under capitalism the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. Especially in the black community where we are living in isolated areas, in shacks, sometimes some of us don’t even have electricity; we don’t even have money to buy paraffin for the stove. He agreed with me.

Industrial Worker Joins ICWP
After the conference we went to a nearby industrial city where we managed to get some few new comrades there. Over the holidays, I met with them and also with a comrade who was in the leadership of LEMUSA (the union that broke away from NUMSA). I had never met him before; but we had been in contact on Facebook. When I told him I was in the area, he was very happy to meet me. We sat in a restaurant where we talked for more than 3 to 4 hours. I told him about dialectical materialism.
He didn’t know anything about dialectics but when I explained, everything was clear to him. He used to work in another area, then he joined NUMSA. Then he was appointed shop steward, then he went up the ranks, and now he’s working for the union.
He promised to recruit others in another city where he lives, but he has to have more information. And so we made a plan. I can’t go where he lives alone, so we have to go there collectively with other comrades. He promised to spread the word there and said that we must register him as a member. I told him that we don’t register comrades or use membership cards because that’s part of capitalism. He was very happy to hear that we fight directly for communism. He asked me about socialism and I explained the dangers of socialism. I told him that socialism and nationalism are all the same to me, all that only helps the politicians get richer. They use the working class and talk nice as if the working class will get everything but we get nothing. And if workers strike they will use the police against them. I explained the dangers of the police system. He agreed with me also.
He was happy to meet me. He’s waiting for the Red Flags. He called me a few days later. I’m always in contact with all the people I recruit. I don’t want to lose them. They have the potential and the energy to mobilize for communism.
