As historian Eric Hobsbawm shows, in the wider political landscape, the existence of a competing economic system in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was instrumental in making capitalists in the West accept the need to come to terms with labour.

@_fels1 Since Moi,(92)Kenya opposition always offers something better than the GVT in power but apparently they always forget u actually have to win power to execute what u promised.this group looks the same as baba, Ford, the split opposition of 97, 2007. What difference can they make?
@ahmednasirlaw He was never coming to arsenal. Do you remember fabinho at Man city and how out of place he felt, saying that he thought he was going to United and did not even know man city exists? I wouldn't B surprised if Vini cant tell the difference between arsenal and Chelsea or whatever.
@ahmednasirlaw@kipmurkomen They are reviving BBl bcoz they all want positions including a retired PORK?We want half the govt, we will attack those voting for kasongo? This looks eerily like 92 before the mighty ford collapsed bcoz of greed and ethnic hubris.
@ahmednasirlaw@kipmurkomen Knowing the leaders who came from central, gachagua strikes me as sub par. We all know all leaders in Kenya are just ethnic king pins but at least they don't go around saying it! How is the opposition going to agree with this level of dissonance between them? BBl is now revived?
@HonMoses_Kuria Must u ple be in govt all the time,receiving salaries u have not earned? Why can't those not accomodated in GVT continue with their lives and await the next election? This "Odinga model" of forever mooching on the public must stop.all regions get their 💰, GVT job is not a right
@luc_dyoro@thedivyanshah I think the nuance here is no kalenjin,(or no other elite )has ever claimed a "Devine right" to rule Kenya the way uthamaki does. They have convinced their followers of https://t.co/SLszhJ3EKY not sure that level of entitlement exists anywhere else.
@thedivyanshah@luc_dyoro They all do the same thing but the Kikuyu place is "at the head of the table by right"?
All elites use victimhood to benefit themselves (we're denied our fair share vs we contribute 60% or is it 90% of taxes?)uthamaki claims ruling🇰🇪 as their birthright but it's all manipulation
Unpopular Opinion: Many Central Kenya elites use Kikuyu identity the way hardline Zionists use Jewish identity.
Not as culture but as political armour. Tell the community everyone is against them.
Convert fear into votes. Convert votes into state access and in turn convert state access into land, tenders, banks, protection and bargaining power.
The ordinary person gets identity pride.
The elite gets the asset.
It is organisation, fear, siege politics and elite extraction.
Kenya’s problem is not Kikuyus.
It is leaders who make Kikuyus feel permanently under attack so they can keep negotiating power in their name. Exactly how @DavidNdii has written about Uthamaki’s Bogeyman Politics
Same script. Different flag.
@georgediano If there's a reason why things never work here..who will even vote for them, let alone change the country? Uhuru was trying to impose baba last time and now this? Why can't he finance kiyapi or kigame then?
@gpdkaluma Just bcoz uhuru failed to use baba as he wanted then doesn't make him a manipulator now,does it? Your tin God has been the biggest enabler of the manipulation you're condemning since 97, with Moi, kibaki, uhuru & Ruto https://t.co/f7IuNyLQLt reap what you sow.
@gpdkaluma Here I agree with you especially since you are not attacking the Kikuyu as you always do.😂😁 However I want to remind you baba opted to support uhuru when we opposed electoral injustice in 2018. I don't like the dishonesty of always absolving your leadership and blaming Kikuyu
