Socialism, an Attitude of Mind

As Mwalimu Nyerere observed, ‘Socialism, like democracy, is an attitude of mind. Hence, defined by neither racism nor ethnicity, I presume. Utopian or Intelligent, this calls for Universal Socialism yonder African Socialism. In a word, socialism is egalitarianism. It transcends race, region or religion. Socialism in Uganda is enriched by UPC’s beginnings. Thence, a regional outfit with the likes of Kenya’s Felix Bukachi as a member. It’s marriage with Kabaka Yekka was for survival purposes. Gen. Sec. George Kakonge and

How high can we regard religion?

There is a difference between religious faith and scientific knowledge: Knowledge can be proven, faith cannot. This is what even metropolitan Filaret of Moscow wrote in his catechism of the Russian-Orthodox Church: “Knowledge has for its object things visible and comprehensible; faith, things which are invisible, and even incomprehensible.”1 This creates a dualism of idealism and materialism: Idealism for the religion, materialism for the secular world. It reminds a bit of this quote from the Gospel of John: “That which

Lumumba – 100 Years after

Tomorrow marks 100 years since Patrice Lumumba was born. July 2nd, 1925. He didn’t live long, but what he gave us is something that still matters today. He gave his voice, his fight, and his life for Congo. For our dignity. For our independence. On June 30th, 1960, Congo became independent. And for that, we are thankful. Because without Lumumba, it might not have happened the way it did. He stood up and spoke for all of us. He reminded

Revolutionary Labor Day Speech presented by the CLU on May 1, 2025

Comrades, Workers of Uganda, peasants, Brothers and Sisters in the Struggle, Today, on International Workers’ Day, we do not merely gather to celebrate labor, we come together to raise our voices against a system that exploits our sweat, robs us of our dignity, and enriches the few while the many toil in poverty, the system that deliberately punishes the poor and rewards the rich. We are here to speak the truth of the oppressed, to awaken class consciousness, and to

Dumping the Common Man’s Charter? – A reply to Comrade Yoga Adhola

The Common Man’s Charter is until today seen by the Ugandan left as a major document, especially among the left wing of the UPC. In a statement from 2023, which can not be called a thorough analysis at all, Yoga Adhola addresses this matter. He claims that there is no need to study it just because “the author regretted it”1.
