Countdown to Socialism - The National Democratic Revolution in South Africa Since 1994

Anthea Jeffery

Beschreibung

With growth stalling, joblessness at crisis levels, and governance unravelling, most South Africans cannot fathom why the ANC does not embark on meaningful reform. The answer lies in what is seldom raised: the ruling party's unwavering determination to take the country by incremental steps from capitalism to socialism.
This transformation is being implemented via a Moscow-inspired 'national democratic revolution' (NDR) dating back many decades. Despite the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the ANC/SACP alliance still sees the NDR as offering the 'most direct route' to socialism in South Africa – and hence as its bedrock strategy.
The NDR has been implemented in many different spheres since 1994. By way of example, NDR interventions have already made millions of people unemployable and the mining sector largely 'uninvestable'. They now aim at land expropriation without compensation (EWC) and the effective nationalisation of private healthcare and pensions.
The NDR is the key to understanding ANC rule over some 30 years – yet most South Africans have been kept in the dark on it. This book aims to fill that gap. Written in clear and simple language, it provides an indispensable primer on the NDR and its role in the countdown to socialism in South Africa.

The Roots of Military Science -...

Dr. Christina Rahm

The Roots of Military Science: Understanding the Intersection of Conflict, Mental Health and Wellness is about the psychology of conflict, the scars conflict leaves behind, and the generational healing that must follow. It is a plea for empathy, a call to learn from the past, and an optimistic blueprint for a future where the pen is mightier than the sword. The core of this narrative is formed by author Dr. Christina Rahm’s journey through healthcare and environmental stewardship amid the chaos of war and her search for peace. For Christina, the battlefield is both an external reality and an internal contemplation; it is the ground she walks on in countries torn by conflict, and the ethical landscape she navigates as a scientist committed to the preservation of life.
Within the pages of The Roots of Military Science lies a reflection, a confluence of critical thought, and a rigorous exploration of military science through the lens of clinical research. Readers will learn how warfare is used as a calculated tool for political force and provocation for economic gain. Complete with scientific research on the principles behind military strategy, tactical defense, attacks, planning, and coordination, The Roots of Military Science provides poignant insight into the psychological, philosophical, and scientific aspects of war which inevitably produces negative biological outcomes. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of conflict, mental health, wellnesses, and impairment behind theories of military science.

Black Hearts and Painted Guns -...

Kelly Eads, Daniel S. Morgan

“Will give readers a feeling for what it was like to fight in the Global War on Terror and the kind of young people who stepped forward to do it.” —On Point: The Journal of Army HistoryKelly Eads joined the 101st Airborne Division soon after 9/eleven, his experience reflecting the patriotism and commitment of so many young men and women who responded to the attack. He deployed to Iraq twice with the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment.Early in their deployment to Iraq, the 2nd Battalion brought the fight directly to the enemy by setting up patrol bases in the local areas where they lived and operated. Soon they built a reputation for themselves, becoming known to the enemy as the Black Hearts—The 502nd had been distinguished on the battlefield by black hearts on their helmets since World War II. Their Scout Platoon became known as Painted Guns due to their practice of camouflaging their rifles.During Eads’ deployments, the battalion would experience thousands of Improvised Explosive Devices and firefights. They would spend countless hours in blistering 120-degree desert heat, controlling roads and preventing enemy freedom of movement; and would dedicate months to hunting enemy mortar teams and terror cells.With the help of Dan Morgan, an Infantry officer who deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a commander and operations officer, Eads takes the reader on a rollercoaster of combat experiences during the hunt for the most violent terrorist in Iraq, Abū Muṣʻab Zarqāwī, bringing to life the painstaking and horrid details of combat in a sectarian war. He tells the story of the soldiers’ camaraderie, built through adversity, and the love of family that sustained them.
