The Power of Collective: Democratic Centralism and the Triumph over Individualism in the Social Justice Movement

Image
In today's interconnected and complex world, collaboration and collective actions have become increasingly essential for achieving success. While individual comrades efforts and achievements hold value, working as a collective offers numerous advantages that surpass the benefits of a comrade working alone.  One of the key advantages of collective actions is the diverse perspectives and complementary skills that comrades bring to the table. Each comrade possesses a unique background, expertise, and set of experiences. When working collaboratively, these diverse perspectives merge to create a more comprehensive understanding of the task at hand. Different skills and strengths combine to form a stronger, more effective unit capable of tackling complex challenges. Collective actions fosters creativity and innovation. Collaborative settings encourage brainstorming, idea-sharing, and the exploration of different viewpoints. When comrades come together, ideas bounce off one another, leadi...

 In the realm of activism bold, A comrade's story must be told. Lucy Ciru, a name so true, With fire in her heart, she wore her hue. A Social Justice Activist she stood, Fighting for what she knew was good. In Kiamaiko, her battle roared, Through the center, justice soared. Her sickness couldn't make her abstain.

Your passion and courage, an eternal flame, In the fight for Social Justice, we'll carry your name.

In Loving Memory of Comrade Lucy Ciru: A Passionate Fighter for Social Justice

Image
On Thursday, Kenya lost a remarkable compatriot, Comrade Lucy Ciru. With a heavy heart, I pen this tribute to honor her memory and celebrate her tireless efforts as a social justice activist. She was a revolutionary socialist who dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of the marginalized. Despite her own struggles, she never hesitated to join study cells, protests, and campaigns to create a better society.

Her unwavering commitment and selflessness inspired not only me but also countless others in our pursuit of human dignity. Comrade Lucy Ciru was an illustrious member of the Kiamaiko Community Social Justice Center, where she tirelessly volunteered to address social inequality and champion the cause of the marginalized. She believed in the power of collective action and dedicated herself to improving the lives of those living in Kiamaiko within M...

WILL TAXATION LOWER THE COST OF LIVING?

Image
Today, I wanted to shed light on a crucial topic: the impact of taxation on the cost of living and the burden it places on impoverished citizens. Specifically, I will address the context of the Kenya Kwanza government, urging them to cut excessive spending, end their alignment with the International Monetary Fund, combat corruption and misappropriation of funds, eradicate tribalism, and ensure respect for the constitution and the rule of law. Taxation is a fundamental aspect of any functioning government, as it provides the necessary resources for public services, infrastructure development, and the welfare of citizens. However, it is essential to recognize that taxation alone cannot effectively lower the cost of living for the impoverished. In fact, in certain circumstances, it can become an additional burden for those already struggling to make ends meet. One of the primary reasons why taxation does not lower the cost of living is the issue of government spending. The Kenya Kwanza go...
