Abstract
When in the 1950's nationalism blurred inter-class and intra-class contradictions and against a common every all classes and class functions hid or put aside their class dreams, interests and aspirations, shoulder to shoulder landlord and tenant, Kulak and peasant, worker and African or Asian employer, employer and nationalist leader echoed the same tune - " Uhuru-sisi kwa sisi" meaning literally, "Freedom and self-government" But 'sisi kwa sisi' means a lot more than self government - it means 'among ourselves'. African traders allied with trade union leaders and Kulaks and with trade Union leaders for their spokesman, wanted the blacknization of everything and called for immediate Africanisation of the economy. Their struggle against the commercial bourgeoisie, has been described extensively in Chapter 1. Chapter II is mainly about the emergency and consolidation of power of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the workers reaction to these developments and their struggle against this class and capitalism as a whole especially after 1969. It is the purpose of this chapter to show the role of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie in the neo-colonial system, its slarish dependence on the international bourgeoisie and its failure, despite its boasting about its capability to build socialism.
