Zimbabwe Political Analyst Network
About Autonomous Ideas

Autonomous Ideas is a collection of simple ideas about how to reorganise resistance in a way that guarantees future resistance. We accept the new challenges that the contemporary world brings upon society thus we are a modern institution. The institution was created by young Zimbabweans living in Zimbabwe and in the Diasporas, as an independent programmes of the Zimbabwe Political Analysts Network (ZiPAN)

ZiPAN is the first group of Zimbabweans that includes a wide spectrum of interests and society. Its membership consists of former student leaders, former trade unionists, teachers, manual workers and some professionals. Most of its members have participated in the resistance to Mugabe's domination and abuse in Zimbabwe in different ways but all have learnt their lessons from their involvement, and it is these experiences that each of them will share as an idea for autonomous resistance.

Autonomous Ideas is wholly an initiative of ZiPAN and thus it relies upon ZiPAN members for new articles. However it also accepts ideas from anyone one on autonomous ideas. Although this website, is run and maintained by the network and although it also shows contents from the Network' News Agency, the Online Skeptic it is not lead by anyone in particular or by the Network.

While the agency does not promote any particular ideology it does encourage ideological debate and views it believes that it is through such discourse, that people can start to inform themselves about most issues of our dominated world.

It would also be important to note that the network is not interested in the current political positioning of the Zimbabwe by both the pro-African dictatorship and the pro-Imperialist 'gullibility'. The network therefore believes that it is possible to kick out the dictatorship and the imperialist at the same time. However the Network rejects the notion that either Britain or America are necessarily imperialists, at face value, as such generalisation is devoid of critical thinking.

We argue that like Americans have a right to run their own affairs, to promote their own culture and democracy so does Zimbabwe or any one else. We further believe that just like the British rightly have a marvelous democracy and respect human rights for its citizens so do Zimbabweans deserve Human Rights. We believe that however we define any of these terms and concepts they should be in Zimbabwe's own terms not in anyone's terms but also in compliancy with generally acceptance standards as adapted and accepted by the local population and its immediate neighbours, in that ascending order and procedure of appeal.

We also argue that people everywhere have a right and must not only be allowed to self-determine but also assisted in whatever way possible to do so. We also understand that language is an important part of any culture and therefore that no particular language should be deliberately subdued or dominated. In this light the agency has been mandated to publish in all Zimbabwean languages known to men no matter how minor some sections of society may consider them to be.

The Online Skeptic News Agency

The Agency also is mandated to support a form of political system which is sufficiently representative of both majorities and minorities, that is to say the network does not believe the tyranny of either the majority or the minority.

The Network

The Network welcomes new members and new ideas and has instructed the Online Skeptic to publish views from members of the society without editing them when ever received. It undertakes to edit any article only in accordance with the law and also to make minor linguistical changes without affecting or changing the impacts, effect or theme of articles. It also undertakes to make any changes in consultation with the author. We therefore will never publish terroristic material, whether or not it is against a super power or a developing country, whether it be by people considered democrats or not.
