Azimio la Arusha is being discussed here as if it were all about ujamaa villages. What about all the resources we have decided to give away to the so called investors after dumping the policy? It's almost 20 years after the dump, are we, as a nation, any better today?
U said:- "Independence is to allow people to make their own decisions and not to have a government of indigenous autocrats". Nigger pleeeease! give me one country whereby people make decisions not subjected to their own government authority or jurisdiction?. If so, where does - No one is above the law stands?. Independent also means not rely on aid and support - are we?.. My guess u kinder confused 'cause it's always been - The government for the people. I wonder, who brain washed u 'cause I keep on repeating myself on the same issue. I was in those villages You weren't, so was the professor and reseachers of the aftermath.
Ujamaa villages wasn't meaned to empower people, but hand over a piece of their share of the cake, give them life, place confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of their life, it's about recognise and reorganise the countryside on communal basis since 90% of our nation income and population relied on farming. This is/was what we call Economic macro view...That is the fact brother either U like it or not. Success gat nothing to do with that!..
As you have said, Ujamaa villages weren't a new concept - Russia, Israel, Mexico, Brasilia, China all practised communa villages in their own form. This was never a schematic vision forcebly impose to people as argued by most modernist ideologies who mix Economics with Freedom and liberty. Ujamaa was an invention out of neccesity which placed people with their land for farming, fully responsibe and accountable for success in our hand. Given confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of our life. but we FAILED even after use of authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions of the cause. We failed and failed simply because of our own ignorance and greedness. What I call - A fundamental tension of modernity! It's like a deeling with a teenager who have chosen sex exploitation as the basis of his/her right, a son who turned gay as the right for being independent.
Bro, am a father and religious..If it happened that my friends, sons and daughter chose of this world against God's word, can't blame on Islaam or Christianity as the utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions who resist of the faith - They - themselve have failed.
Well, heshima mbele sana JF,
- Ninaomba kusema tena na tena, we were Dead wrong na idea za Azimio La Arusha, infact ndilo limetufikisha hapa tulipo yaani tumekwama hili taifa, hatujui tunakokwenda wala tulikotoka. Halafu wanatokea wasomi wanaodai eti turudi kwenye Azimio, hilo Azimio limetushinda mwanzoni kwa nini kuna wanaoamini tutaliweza sasa?
- Recently, nimeona wale wengi walioachwa kwenye uongozi wa juu yaani kwenye mlo, wakililia Azimio, halafu ninachukizwa sana ninapoona media inawapa free lunch hawa waliokosa mlo, sijawahi kuwasikia wakisema Azimio liliwahi kumfunga kiongozi gani wa juu mwizi, sijawasikia wakisema Azimio lilifanya nini cha maaana mpaka wanalilia!
- Mwalimu, yes was the greatest ever, lakini Mwalimu alikuwa na mapungufu makubwa mawili, hakujua;- !. Uchumi 2. Sheria, hivi vitu viwili Mwalimu simply hakuvijua kama alivijiua basi hakuvitilia maanani, na ndivyo vinavyolitafuna taifa letu sasa akiwa hayupo!
- WA-TANZANIA, KAMA TUNATAKA KUSONGA MBELE NA KIJIREKEBISHA TUACHANE NA MANENO YA AZIMIO LA ARUSHA, KWA SABABU NDILO HASA LIMETURUDISHA NYUMA SANA, LISIRUDI, LIENDE ZAKE, NA TUSILIJADILI MAANA NI SHETANI LILILOTURUDISHA NYUMA SANA, SASA TWENDE MBELE NA UBEPARI NA UTAWALA UNAOHESHIMU SHERIA NDIO THE BEST WAY MBELE!
RESPECT PEOPLE!
Mr. Willie @DSM City!
...Kubadilishana mawazo ni jambo jema kabisa, na si usaliti, kama utakosa nafasi ya kuyaweka kwenye vitendo, mawazo hayo.Je, imetosha kutoa mawazo tu na kupotea? Nani mwenye jukumu la kubadilisha mawazo haya katika vitendo kama sio sisi wenyewe? Nani wa kuipigania imani yako kama sio wewe mwenyewe? Itakuwa na maana gani kuacha mawazo yako endelevu kupotea, kwa kutegemea fulani atayafanyia kazi. Ni unafiki na usaliti mkubwa kuamini usichokiishi, au kuishi usichokiamini.
