Kenyans are protesting against their comprador bourgeois government

For several weeks, Kenyans are demonstrating against the high cost of life,
corruption, in ation, unemployment, and a decaying quality of life under the
(former?) British colony of East Africa, against the current liberal and
Christian fundamentalist president William Ruto, having promised massive
privatisations for the next months, and accused of electoral fraud against
the social-democrat candidate Raila Odinga.

William Ruto was completely molded by Daniel Arap Moi’s comprador

autocracy, supported by the Western Imperialists against Communism and Anti-Imperialism, and
saw in this West-backed dictatorship that he met several times a "mentor" ; he was Vice
President under Uhuru Kenyatta, a puppet of America and England, linked to Pandora Papers
a air.

Like explained by the Kenyan newspaper The Elephant :

"For the past 60 years, this elite network has remained well resourced
and networked and is as a result both resilient and stable. This in turn
has contributed to the peace and stability Kenya has enjoyed. Even
when this elite has had internal squabbles, which have regularly led to
episodic violence in the country, they have been mediated through elite
“handshakes” — essentially boardroom deals. Like the English
aristocracy of old, unwritten rules of engagement govern their game of
thrones (…) We are therefore encouraged to observe that the current
political stalemate between the opposition and the government might not
be the usual Kenyan intra-elite dispute but a more fundamental contest between two orders. The
rst, an order that over the life of the postcolonial state has entrenched itself and feels entitled to
the spoils of the state. The second, a new order that feels that the old guard has had its time and
should make way for it."

This comprador bourgeois dictatorship is desesperate against people’s revolt that it tried a heavy
response against those protests, believing sincerely that arrests can stop an uprising of this style!

We are sure that some of our leaders will ask themselves "What are the Kenyans communists
doing?"

Well, for what we’ve seen, there was a brief split when fundamental members of the organization
decided to support William Ruto against the Party’s majority.

According to the remaining members of the Organization :

"The Party came under attack when two of its senior o cials joined one of the two leading
political coalitions during the 2022 elections campaigns, which went against Party regulations and
the 2022 CPK election guidelines. Mghanga and Wachira broke o to join the Kenya Kwanza
Alliance, the coalition that thrust President William Ruto into power. (…) The Party's pre-election
analysis concluded that both principal leading candidates: Ruto with Kenya Kwanza and Raila
with Azimio, were comprador bourgeoisie and had nothing to o er the working class and the poor.
In them, corruption, nepotism, tribalism and all the backward ideas of the old society reign. (…)
Following the split, Mghanga and Wachira justi ed their decision to join the openly Right-Wing,
Christian fondamentalist coalition. They called it the natural ow of things as they went where
the people were. In a most fantastical tale responding to a member's demand for an explanation,
they exalted the move as one of those enemies-to-lovers’ tropes. Wachira explained how he
would use his presence to swoop in and save the masses from under Ruto and bring them
to the Left!

We can remark that the argument of the members was completely populistic and pseudo-pro-
masses one without any ways of seeing the actual logic and fullest conclusion of this
presumption.

The only problem that I can nd in the article from the remaining members is the argument :
instead of being around the fact that William Ruto represents comprador bourgeoisie completely
submitted to Imperialism like his mentor and his boss were, they use the fact that he is "right-
wing conservative".

The KPC doesn’t understand that it isn’t the subject, that the Right-Left dichotomy is constructed
around the relationship to Imperialism.

Regarding the rest, we can hope that revolutionary masses will not keep their mouth shut,
coordinate their actions and ght against the Imperialists and their lackeys in the Great War of
Liberation that is going in Africa, touching Françafrique in the West of the continent and also East.
