Cope is counter-revolutionary.
The revelation that was made by the ANC national spokesperson Jessie Duarte about Allan Boesak's demands of a lucrative position was a clear indication that Cope is a party of angry people whose interest is to have their hands in the resources of the state.
Allan Boesak's unreasonable demands to the ANC smack of opportunism of the highest order and hypocrisy. What we have observed in the recent past week is a counter-revolution in the making.
The event of the past weeks will not deter the ANC from discharging its responsibility, which is that of galvanising support for its own victory at the 2009 general election. The ANC, unlike Cope and other opposition parties, is not faced with a challenge of ideological bankruptcy.
It was difficult for Cope to define their character and ideology during their conference. It is astonishing that Cope has reached an ideological cul-de-sac before its formal launch.
This is a party of brothers and sisters and ladies and gentlemen.
The "political advisor" of Cope, Thabo Mbeki, prepared a discussion document for the ANC's 49th National Conference (December 1994), Entitled From Resistance to Reconstruction: Tasks of the ANC in the New Epoch of the Democratic Transformation. The lengthy document provided a comprehensive look into the views of the future leader of the ANC and the country.
Thabo Mbeki's prophesy was illustrated by divorce papers that were served on the ANC by chief dissident, Mr Terror Lekota. Today the ANC breathes fresh air because traitors and spies like George, Shilowa, Hlongwane, Madisha, Dexter, Mda, Nkuhlu, Num, Ngonyama, Ramatlakane and others left the movement to form their elite party called Cope.
The behaviour of the dissidents signals that of the Gang of Eight who wanted to change the direction of the ANC from been a discipline force of the left to a reactionary organisation. The attack on ANC President, Jacob Zuma by the dissident is tantamount to what the Gang of Eight did to OR Tambo when he refused to succumb to the counter-revolution.
The ANC is commended by its revolutionary front-troopers for observing discipline within its structures by refusing to allow anarcho-syndicalism to play itself within the movement.
It is evident that many of the comrades who are crying foul about the ANC's restructuring of government were those who refused to be part of the ANC political incubation programme which was intended at raising their level of political consciousness because they were the product of mass recruitment before conferences.
Cope is a moribund organisation without anything to offer except to provoked the masses of our people by calling for the scrapping of affirmative action.
