If I feel prompted to react to Guevaras posting it is because I feel that in a vital area the issue of Fair Trade has been left far from clear. If I understood Guevaras posting correctly, he is trying to rally a pressure group of intellectuals opposed to what is called "counterrevolutionary subordination".


Well, a minute please, let me explain what I want to say here rather. Counterrevolutionary subordination has eventually become a subtle threat to the moral and intellectual integrity of the intellectuals whose true function is to be independent and to act as disinterested critics of society in the service of truth, bringing about a change in the aggressive World Trade Organisation policies to aid the forces focusing attention on the urgent need of more social justice and change, in other words, dealing with the problem of poverty in the least developed countries.


Guevara is rightly skeptical about entertaining any hopes of achieving results by converting the ruling circles to their ideas of humaneness and justice, so very sensibly he opts for the more effective way of a pressure group which, if it met with wide-scale support, could become so influential that it could no longer be ignored by the policy makers.


 


So far so good. The two aims: trade policy and anti-poverty programs are clear. But , what is less clear is who are the intellectuals who are to be rallied? Surely the appeal is to go deeper than just an ad hoc campaign Madonna is trying to achieve.

There can never be fair trade! We can’t do without these people. They are still in charge of our interests and we are still their colonies.   What we need do is to start utilising those raw materials and export their products. We Africans have a problem, we are always useless no matter how educated we are, except for Afiti who can make Air shuttles which can travel at an incredible speed of  “you name the distance per second”. Look at South Africa, the first country in Africa to introduce a Subway Bullet Train. It has hired more than five foreign Western countries to do the construction while its local Engineers sit back and watch. In Malawi we have got all necessary requirements which are needed when constructing a road, but we can’t even do it. We grow Tobacco most of it which is exported, but cannot make our own proper Ndudu except the hand made Chingambwe!  What are the PhD’s your holding for? Kutchubulira mabebi? Let us Bingulise ourselves , we name the price for them!


 


War is not the solution to these problems.
