[DEBATE] : Zimbabwe socialists: Fight for fresh elections under a new people-driven constitution! | Links

[glparramatta]

February 6, 2009 -- The *International Socialist Organisation Zimbabwe* 
(ISOZ) has consistently argued for the last few years that the poor and 
working people would pay dearly if they naively followed the false calls 
for “change” championed by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and 
its imperialist-supported civic society allies, and subordinated their 
organisations to the same.

We called for the urgent establishment of a radical and anti-neoliberal 
united front of working people's organisations, to spearhead the 
struggle even when the opposition leadership eventually sold out. We 
argued that the MDC was preparing for a sell-out deal with Robert 
Mugabe's ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front 
(ZANU-PF) as a junior partner and that Mugabe was now ready to accept 
this...Our warnings have now come to pass with MDC leader Morgan 
Tsvangirai and the MDC agreeing to finally join Mugabe in a so-called 
“all-inclusive government” and parliament, unanimously passing 
Constituional Amendment #19 and the massively neoliberal 2009 budget and 
monetary policy issued by the regime.
