SOUTH AFRICA—The International Communist Workers’ Party here has intensified the struggle to mobilize the masses for communism. Diligent and consistent struggle by comrades is bearing fruits. In a week we have distributed 300 Red Flags at various factories.  Many comrades who were just readers of Red Flag a year ago are taking big steps in distributing RF and recruiting workers to ICWP.
The example of Comrade Z is encouraging. It  shows that we can become a mass party for communism and smash capitalism once and for all.  Comrade Z has experienced some of the worst things that capitalism creates.   He has worked numerous jobs in various industries but hunger and despair followed him like a shadow.  Prison, hunger, prolonged unemployment, and a severe work-related injury led him to question capitalism.
Comrade Z started coming to the ICWP study groups on dialectical materialism about two years ago. He rarely spoke. That was then. Now Comrade Z is leading us from factory to factory, no longer the shy person. He vigorously explains the line of ICWP to workers. He is relentless.  He knows the city like the palm of his hand. No matter where we go, Comrade Z knows somebody and he makes sure they get the Red Flag.  “I can easily distribute 1000 RF,” the comrade said.  He never runs out of energy.
We can give many more examples.  Workers who were attracted to nationalism are now defending ICWP.  Similarly some students who liked the Pan African nationalism and politics of EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters, led by Julius Malema, a nationalist group which broke with the African National Congress) are seeing that these movements are created by capitalist bosses to divide the working class.  A comrade in the metal industry has been consistently recruiting workers on the job using the Red Flag. A young comrade has formed a group of ICWP members in his neighborhood.   We are also reaching out to the immigrant workers who come to South Africa looking for work.
All these activities are taking place in the midst of the worldwide capitalist crisis resulting in small and big wars, and the horrific conditions of the migrants.  The working class is looking for an alternative to the unending horrors of capitalism.  ICWP is providing the vision of  that alternative: a communist society without borders or money – a society based on the workers’ need.  We have long way to go but the comrades are confident that we can win.
