"...bequeathing state power to big-headed neoliberal capitalist elements is no cheap mistake. We ought to learn that capitalism is capitalism. It is not a system for the poor. No matter how much we grovel before it, it is a system that ‘soaks’ the poor to enrich the rich. For the struggling masses, only one road is open to them – socialism. The working masses must not only agonize over the miserable conditions they have been subjected to by the lackeys of capital, but they must also organise and ready themselves for progressive social change. Take heed, a disorganised mass of the working class is nothing else than a raw material for capitalist exploitation.” - Socialist Party of Zambia Central Committee member Faston Mwale, September 18, 2020
