A new journal dedicated to discussing critical issues of the nature, progress, and direction of the current transition in South Africa. Issue one sold out. Roseline Nyman begins issue #2 with a plea for working-class leadership within the women's movement and, more generally, greater attention to poor and working women's issues. The sentiment is concretised by Rita Edwards, who describes the recent emergence of a women's group in the Western Cape Bobby Rodwell introduces the Zapatista movement, and Teresa Rendon, an academic and gender advisor to the Zapatistas, discusses how the indigenous people's struggle in Chiapas relates to historic demands by women -both organic and bourgeois-feminist. Patrick Bond's review OF World Bank endeavours helps explain why progressives must think globally and act globally, not because of massive new loan programmes, but because of the pernicious grip that Bank-think seems to have on Pretoria. And a text from the new Campaign against Neoliberalism in South Africa expands the debate by polemicising with Minister Alec Erwin. Chris Malikhane advances political economic debates within the South African Students Congress (Sasco)
using an argument that winds its way from Lenin to Amin and onwards. John Pape warns against South Africans dreaming that they can follow South Korea to an export-led future, and indeed for the Left to read more carefully the reasons for that country s recent industrialisation. This issue of Debate includes an excerpt from Carl Brecker's pamphlet on the need to revive the Permanent Revolution thesis, followed by a reply from a Communist Party organiser, Dale Mckinley, who posits that we need not falsely dichotomise permanent revolution with the National Democratic Revolution. Aaron Amaral (of the International Socialist Movement a break-away from the grouping around the British SWP] argues against what he calls the "reformist" defence of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (the ANC's campaign platform) by Mckinley et al in issue #1. Darrel Moellendorf then takes us from socialist agency to socialist economic principles, by considering the choices of various blueprints that we as activists and strategists must surely grapple with one day.
