Use May Day to destroy the myth of workers’ inferiority
THIS is an awesome time for the workers of the world. It is also more awesome in this country. Look at it this way; the freedom vibe is just with us!
April is freedom month and May is worker’s month. Let me explain; April is national freedom month and May is international workers month. Methinks that is glorious.
There is a suggestion here that this country thinks very highly about things like national freedom and international discourses that consider the workers. A further truth is that May Day is a day that we must use to celebrate our proletariat and I don’t mean it in a narrow national profile only. No, No, No.
It must be celebrated in an international profile that celebrates and heralds the world to think about the workers who actually make this world what it is for the billions that live in it. We must say however that the deal they get from the minority that rules it is not satisfactory or fair. Not at all.
It is not fair that the majority of the world’s people are denied the major beauties that they work so hard to achieve for the benefit of the humanity that we must celebrate in the world. But the harshness of the dim thought in capitalism refuses us that sanity. That in my opinion, is not only harsh and cold but brutal on the majority of the world’s inhabitants. It is brutal and stupid that the world’s minority be allowed to enjoy this silly tendency.
Let me confess that I am not one who likes it! Can I?
I do not see how the world can tolerate this crude tendency. I am also not able to say what the UN and such charming international institutions are doing for the world to be made conscious of the cruel world system that benefits only the minority while the majority feels the pain of world inequality.
How does the human being tolerate this? I am asking because this situation is not only unfair but boasts the madness of cruelty. It runs the horrible risks of an uncontrollable anger from the majority of working people of the continent. Why are we doing nothing about it? The answer is an admission to cruel short sightedness. And if it was merely one or two nations involved it would not be this sad. But hey, it is not.
The people of the world are indoctrinated to believe in this falseness. Worse, if and when you do not believe in it you are condemned, vilified as the greatest evil of the world.
I think that we owe the world an explanation for this stupid brutality. We not only need to amend but we also need to repair. We need to develop a consciousness that tells the world that beauties of capitalism are too dangerous for the calamity of the world. There are no beauties in capitalism. There is only horror and pain inflicted on the majority of peoples. There is a need for a new world discourse that needs to find ways of how we defeat the cruelties of narrow minds, which calls for a broad perspective in world thought.
The first move is the humbling of self. The knowledge that the role we play in the world is only charming when it is characterised by its beauties. The graces of the human soul are deepened by the compassion of the working people.
The graces in a national economy must be used in celebration of the working people. We as nations owe this to the people. I am pleading that the working people be granted their glorious place in the charming consciousness of the South African people and the world.
It is also natural that we plead for the international peoples to recognise the many graces that we are granted by the workers of the world. It is an enormous beauty that we must thank them for. It is very ugly to note that general tendencies towards the workers of the world signifies an understanding of them as the most inferior of the world. It is not so.
We must use this May Day to explain that the inferiority of the worker is a myth and that we will as a world together work (excuse the pun) to destroy the oppression of the working people.
We will start by developing a consciousness as people of the world to engage the world in the beauties of energies that teach us the grace of the working people.
