The coronavirus has exposed the brutalities of capitalism in South Africa and internationally. Capitalism as a system has no solutions for the problems that confront humanity, writes Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim
The virus has exposed the brutalities of capitalism in South Africa and internationally.
In essence, the working class is made up of all those who do not own the means of production and who are politically oppressed, economically marginalised, dispossessed and landless. When their system crashed the economies of the world in 2008, the bankers were bailed out and the working class was left to suffer.Capitalism as a system has no solutions for the problems that confront humanity.
Faced with this global pandemic of Covid-19, it remains our political posture that we must continue to champion international solidarity, the unity of the African continent and the world, especially in these trying times when it is possible that countries could collapse into backward, inward-looking responses rather than taking a global response to dealing with global challenges and through which we could learn from one another.
It is a fact that, out of this struggle, Cuba took home only the bodies of its soldiers who died on the battlefront, fighting for our freedom.It is once more Cuba, under this global pandemic, who has demonstrated solidarity in action and that solidarity is forever.
