Agitprop, Part 5c
ANC Election Manual
The attached document is a short version of the ANC Election
Manual, produced in 2013 for the 2014 National and Provincial general election.
The Agitprop course is necessarily organised according to the
different ways and means that can be used to get the agitational political
message out.
There is no organic point at which we will start to consider
campaigns in their totality. It is convenient to introduce this text on
election campaigning at this half-way point, although it is not especially
related to the other items in this part.
You will see that the document considers and combines many different
means of propaganda.
In this document, you can see the various means deployed in
proportion to their usefulness in this particular context, which is that of an
election.
Further on in the course, we will look at strikes, which are
a different form of campaign, and in the last part we will again consider
campaigns in more general way, including the annual Red October campaigns of
the SACP
- The above is to
introduce our reading-text, ANC Gauteng Election Manual, CU short
version.
