  A typical Ugandan worker: No proper protection for his feet. No minimum wage protection! Generally, no protection for his wider interests! Collectivism would give him a proper protection for all his rights  Uganda’s population stands at 45 million, with 90% engaged in some form of work. Yet, a majority live a hand-to-mouth existence, an unacceptable reality in a country rich in resources and potential. Across workplaces, Ugandan workers face common issues: poor working conditions, lack of social protection, and exploitation by a capitalist system with no minimum wage. Micro-business owners, who make up 20% of the workforce, are no exception. Known for their entrepreneurial spirit, Ugandans struggle with high interest rates—among the highest in Africa. Many small business owners lose their collateral properties due to an inability to repay predatory loans, ending up poorer than before. The Solution: Collectivization and Socialism Socialism, advocating collective ownersh...

  A dilapidated cooperative society store in Dokolo district. It was built by the UPC government in the 1960s as a collection center for cotton growers. Its sorry state now mirrors the state of agriculture in Dokolo and Uganda. Agriculture accounts for nearly 24% of Uganda’s GDP but employs the majority of Ugandans. So the reference that ‘agriculture is backbone of Uganda’s economy’ is more than correct. However, the sector’s full potential remains untapped due to a lack of collective organization and reliance on exploitative systems. To genuinely transform rural livelihoods and household incomes, collectivism must take center stage. Organizing farmers into cooperatives not only enhances productivity but also strengthens their bargaining power in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the Parish Development Model (PDM), despite its potential as a good ‘collectivism’ tool, is being misapplied. Under the PDM, funds are distributed through Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (S...

Hon. Jimmy Akena Uganda is struck with some issues that need to be addressed as well as offering some approaches to solve them in order to achieve Uhuru. 1. Uhuru is not yet achieved On the 60th anniversary of Uganda's independence comrade Jimmy Akena said that Uganda would be in a state of “Not Yet Uhuru”1 . He is right: Uganda is not actually independent. Uganda is still reliant on foreign capital. Uganda just switched allegiance from being dominated by Western imperialist powers to now Eastern imperialist powers - mainly China as well India, who both are part of the BRICS. The fault for that lies in the privatizations of the 90s with its sellout of state assets as well the neglect for cooperatives in those days. The consequences of that neoliberal policy of the NRM government still shape Uganda's economy until today. Museveni claimed in 1989, like every neoliberal leader: “Private entrepreneurs in Uganda are more dynamic than those in public enterprises.”2 Is that true? Not ...
