The Revolutionary Socialist League (RSL) is a Marxist-Leninist organization, committed to the complete overhaul of the current exploitative capitalist system and its replacement by socialism.
We recognize the fact that despite the Kenyan people enjoying different freedoms as stipulated by the Constitution of Kenya (2010), they are really not free since they do not control the means of production. These same people have been deprived of justice as the justice system is biased and controlled by the ruling capitalist class. The alienation of the Kenyan masses from economic justice and freedom has seen citizens become modern economic slaves who must sell their labour power to the highest capitalist bidder in order to survive. This cycle must be stopped so that every Kenyan citizen is at liberty to determine his/her destiny in a social system working for everyone.
One of the greatest failures of the capitalist system in Kenya and the world at large is the inability to provide work, or the alienation of the people from the process of production. We understand that more than 40% of the Kenyan working population is unemployed, while the employed are underpaid or over-exploited in their work place. With a socialist system, this problem will be resolved by having every single person in Kenya who has attained a working age to be working, whether he/she is skilled or unskilled, literate or illiterate. Our goal is to ensure that every person is working in a bid to build a better and prosperous country. Failure by the private sector to resolving this menace means that the means of production and technology MUST be nationalized so that every person benefits and is productive. Further, each will be contributing acco
Our aspiration as the RSL is to establish a free and compulsory education system for every Kenyan citizen from primary to university level. Every Kenyan must be educated and equipped with the core values of socialism and taught the true history of the African people and the people’s role in the societal make-up. The education offered MUST be of quality and as per the standards benefitting human beings.
RSL holds that healthcare must be free to each and every citizen in Kenya and all medical facilities accessible to everyone. We emphasize the failure of the Kenyan government in providing medical attention to her citizens as healthcare has become too costly for the majority of the citizens due to the privatization of the medical sector. RSL will nationalize this sector. Furthermore, the sanitation systems of both the urban settlements and rural areas must be changed to that befitting human beings. The resources of the state must be used to guarantee the provision of healthcare to all citizens and scientific innovations be used for the improvement of the healthcare system.

RSL acknowledges that land is one of the major factors that influences the economic production of a people. It is the basic factor of production. Historically from the colonial days huge tracts of African land were taken away by colonial settlers and once paper independence was achieved, these lands were inherited in large quantities by the children of colonial collaborators, known as home guards in our situation in Kenya. We have millions of Kenyan squatters in the coastal, central and some parts of the rift valley regions yet millions of hectares of land are being owned by individuals. These tracts of land remain unproductive, furthermore. Our government will nationalize these tracts of land and focus on the agricultural production and settlement of all citizens.
Historically and even in modern times, culture and heritage has formed part of the superstructure arising from the economic mode of production, alongside values, belief systems, norms, art, language symbols and social institutions of any particular society. This makes it a very important component of our Kenyan people. We as RSL strongly believe that through the respect, honor and appreciation of our different Kenyan ethnic cultures we shall unchain our people from the yoke of western institutionalized cultures that deny our people the joy of celebrating their traditional customs and heritage. With the values of Socialism instilled in our pedagogy, we shall work towards a society that is unified and liberated and bound together with working class ideology.
RSL will work towards eliminating corruption by ALL MEANS NECESSARY. Arising from the greed and individualism that capitalism breeds, corruption as a vice has been one of the greatest stumbling blocks to the development of our societies. Corruption is a serious crime and those found guilty of participating in or encouraging it will be dealt with accordingly. The values of Socialism will be emphasized, and through the building of a Socialist society individualism will be replaced by collectivism.
Our revolutionary call for “Afrika Moja, Afrika Huru” is not only a theoretical narrative but also a practical lifetime commitment. We are an organization that works towards uniting all the people of Africa under a Socialist State. Furthermore, our call is for the formation of an All-African People’s revolutionary organization that will serve as the vanguard of the African people in our struggle against imperialism. Needless to mention, this would advance the course of the working people throughout the world, and would be the start in unifying the people of the world against capitalism.
There will be no true liberation if there are still oppressed and exploited peoples across the world. Our goal is the total emancipation of humankind from the evil dominating hands of capitalism and imperialism. We shall offer our support and solidarity, not only in words, but also materially to all liberation movements across the world. We also pay homage to the different revolutionary liberation movements which, in word and deed, supported our African liberation struggles across the decades and still continue to do so. It is our duty to ensure that the international proletariat is freed from the chains of capitalism and imperialism. We recognize the different peoples’ struggles in Western Sahara, Palestine, and other parts of the world who are fighting for their independence, recognition and dignity. We condemn the economic blockades and sanctions against Cuba, Venezuela among other nations by the Imperialist forces. Their cries are our cries, their struggles are our struggles and their victories will be our Victories.
