Reformasi vs Reformasi. Contrarian essays no 5.

1. The writings are on the wall. Rafizi will eventually leave PKR. Not because he wants to but PKR, especially the revisionists will treat him as the enemy

2. The people who won, have the UMNO mentality. If you are not with us, you are against us kind of thinking.

3. We will see that people appointed by Anwar as ministers or to positions of some power are politically immature and wet behind the ears.

4. When they hear of Rafizi talking consistently about reformasi lost and about many issues hitherto hidden from us, they will react in knee jerk fashion.

5. They will mistakenly regard what Rafizi raises as attacks on PKR. That's what politically immature people do.

6. As the attacks become more strident and virulent, Rafizi will find the PKR set-up as hostile. Then the logical choice for him.and his gang is to leave PKR.

7. I have not even finished this article, nik nazmi had to come out with a statement that Rafizi and he resigned their ministerial posts not leaving the party. This meant the political immatures have begun their onslaughts.stupid jerks !

8. Anwar Ibrahim must contain these eager beaver political immatures from escalating the rot .

9. Rafizi too must rein in his troops. But the onus is more on Anwar Ibrahim as it's his camp that wants Rafizi to stay put .

10. My reading is ,it will come to a push comes to shove situation. Rafizi will leave PKR or cause himself to be expelled.

11. He won't be joining the bourgeois parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu etc. He will bide his time and form his own party .

12. He will then openly compete to be called a 'revolutionary' reformasi party as opposed to anwars watered down reformasi party .

13. It's revolutionary vs. revisionist reformasi party

14. Anwars people will ferociously object to their party being described as revisionist or watered down.

15. Nurulizzah for instance will insist that their reformasi is not dead. But her assertion and theirs does not matter. The people's perception does. And to the public, reformasi is kaput.

16. Butchered as it were, by the many promises Anwar made but not kept.

17. I don't want to repeat myself silly by mentioning the factors determining anwars political longevity. You can read about that in my earlier articles.

18. One indicator of a revisionist party with watered down reformasi, is its readiness and willingness to talk to bourgeois parties and bourgeois elements.

19. It is difficult for many us to believe that the bourgeois element, zafrul leaving UMNO and joining PKR to be a mere coincidence.

20. There must have been some serious pow wow between anwars PKR and the bourgeois of the hour .

21. If you don't already know but now you know, this reflects anwars penchant to wheel and deal. Specifically in making secret deals .

22. I am not going to fault Anwar on this and regard him as a bad person. He's being an effective politician in the Machiavellian sense.

23. Except then,it's not open for him to say others acting unscrupulous,if they act the same way.

24. If wheeling and dealing is part of anwars persona, it's not impossible for PKR to talk to a bourgeois party like Bersatu.

25. Why not? It's a practical and pragmatic choice. Bersatu has more seats than UMNO. If UMNO doesn't like it and feel strongly about it,it can opt to voluntarily leave.

26. UMNO that does not have power will fade into oblivion. Then we can see if UMNO is experiencing a resurgence as claimed by the pontian gnome.

27. For convenience and pragmatic reasons, it would be more prudent to wheel and deal with bersatu.

28. Send UMNO to pasture. We will quickly see that UMNO with no posts and power is nothing. If it shouts its xenophobic nationalism and its fascist religion and pompous loyalty to King, it will gain no traction at all. Try see.

29. The spanner in the works is Rafizi. What if he actually leaves PKR. Forms a new rival party?

30. Then it will be revolutionary reformasi vs watered down reformasi. True reformasi vs false reformasi. Revolutionary vs revisionist, counter and reactionary reformasi.

31. It will be extremely difficult for nurulizzahs reformasi to compete against Rafizis reformasi. As it is, nurulizzah is struggling to insist reformasi is still alive. They will say, we have found the enemy and the enemy is us.

32. If this happens, have we asked where will the OG partners of PHs allegiance go to? Amanah and DAPs?
