It is the ambiguity about the role of individuals in the making of history that presents the greatest problem with the deterministic notions inherent in Marxism's conception of history.
For Gen Tumwine, mental preparation in terms of sharpening convictions and demonstrating victory is possible, is much more important than the amount of arms one has access to initially. It is people who win wars not weaponry.

PIK BOTHA - SOUTH AFRICA:
Has it ever occurred to you that we could both be winners?
JORGE RISQUET - CUBA:

PIK BOTHA: If we carry on with this war, we will both be losers. If you withdraw your troops on the basis of having given Namibians independence, Castro can say he won.
And I say to white voters of South Africa, 'I got rid of the Cubans troops.' That makes us both winners! 2/2
I used to love sharing this, on #Frelimo and #SamoraMachel, but a friend told me of the darker side of the struggle. Lives are lost! May they all rest In Eternal Peace
While the Mulungushi club & Frontline States did their bit, the number 1 warrior in Africa's total liberation & number 1 Frontline state, was Fidel CASTO and CUBA!
