Youth in revolt by Musa Ali Maishanu
Even though, the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. WORKING MEN OF COUNTRIES UNITE (Feuer 1989:7,47).
Going by the words of Karl Marx and Fredrick Angels cited above. The life of a Socialist revolutionary movement going on in Nigeria is what we need at the moment.
While, protesting against oppressive and brutal government of president Muhammadu Buhari, Unfortunately, one of the tools of exploitation and domination whose has been appearing for Nigerian Youths as counter-revolutionary or being used by the so-called cowards and traitors of our country who are in control of the means of production and institutions of law-making and law-breaking has displayed their baseless act of madness by promising to dealt with the radicalised Nigerian Youths who are currently on streets agitating for a “total liberation of the federal republic of Nigeria” from the shackles of all forms of servitude which endanger their lives while denouncing the president of Nigeria thus resisting against all forms of vested interest.
Revolutionarily speaking, from the time immemorial. However, the issue of vested interest from the part of Repressive State Apparatuses (RSA) has become a global phenomenon. Because virtually all the episodes that has revealed to the world about the struggles of Revolution were stopped from happening by the so-called agents of bourgeoisie liberators and those that believed in counter-revolutionary in expense of Capitalism and exploitation of man by man. But taking of advantage of this (Revolution).
For example, Lenin, who was hiding in Finland sent word to his professional trained revolutionists to move on the offensive and grab the reins of power, which they successfully did first in Petrovgard and then one by one in other cities and ultimately climaxed it with the capture of Moscow itself by Nov. 7, 1917 after a week fighting in which the last remaining of the Tsarist Regime literally feel under the axe of the Soviets. One significant feature of the Socialist revolutions as also that of all successful socialist Revolutions was that at first the vast population especially in the cities where it started were clearly pro-government but gradually as they found the latter becoming more and more ineffective and the revolutionaries in a stronger position, they joined hands with them against the oppressive and brutal government.
Since, the so-called agents of exploitation and domination in the country refused to desist from the act of exploitation. Therefore, I simultaneously developed a formula for a radicalized Nigerian Youths which can best be summed in one of my most quoted write ups:
The police advances, we retreat;
The Army camps,we harass;
The Oppressive and brutal government tires, we attack;
The counter-revolutionary retreats, we pursue.
Revolutionarily written by:
Comrade Musa Ali Maishanu.
In defense of youth in revolt in Nigeria.
