The Labour Party: A Marxist History

126 union federations CUSA and AZACTU refused to merge into COSATU . The reality was that AZACTU was left out of the unity talks and CUSA refused to join on the grounds that AZACTU was left out . Organisations outside of the ANC are always presented as being hostile to the ANC and its allies . The third is the use of political swearwords such as 'ultra left' and 'workerist' to describe certain viewpoints . Sectarian words like 'ultra left', 'workerist', 'populist', 'Stalinist', 'Trotskyite', etc . are best left for polemical use by the popular press rather than by academics engaging in serious debate . Fourth is the non-recognition of contradictions that exist within the ANC and organisations within its fold . Wolpe rightfully criticizes Inkatha for its ethnicity, violence towards progressive organisation, and its participation in the homeland system . Similarly criticisms of ethnicity towards the Transvaal Indian Congress and the Natal Indian Congress (both affiliates of the UDF) should also be forthcoming . Secondly just as the violence of Inkatha needs to be rejected so too should the 'necklacing' violence of progressives within the UDF . Thirdly how does Wolpe account for the links that existed between Inkatha and the ANC and other homeland leaders like Enos Mabusa of KaNgwane? (For an account of this see Mzala, Gatsha Buthelezi, Zed Books 1988) . A minor technical problem that occurs occasionally is poor referencing . For example, when arguing against 'workerists', no literature reference is given . Neither is any mention made of the organisations to which they belong . In addition, a UDF speaker is quoted (p . 102) without stating the relevant source . Any advance in theory needs to be accompanied by proper recording and interpretation of data . Wolpe's political affiliation has led him to fog certain areas of history . This would reflect not only on the development of theory but also on strategies that might arise from such theory . No doubt this book is a serious attempt to refine arguments and stimulate debate . This however is done within the confines of paternalistic protection . Wolpe's book, while being an interesting reminder of the theoretical perspective of the ANC, seems at times to cloud more than to clarify .
