  What is a revolution. A revolution is a drastic leap in nature or society, thus that revolution gives a plant or animal more and advance weapons to withstand the stresses of nature.
  Thus the evolution of man when he freed his limbs as a weapon of labour was a great leap and revolution in nature.
  He then use the freed limbs to adopt whatever he finds in nature to improve upon his biological and later social needs.
  That will be termed dialectical analysis of plants and animals, their evolution and revolution as a social leap in society.
  Revolution is a change in society, a leap that makes life better for members of a particular society.
  Like the abolition of slavery, though came from the top, but freed labour as the owner of his knowledge and skills, that he can sell and at the same time withhold it to further his socioeconomic being.
  So, in the nutshell, a revolution is to do away with an existing socioeconomic system and being in a new advance one that does away with all the negativities in the existing socioeconomic system.
  Every revolution has ideas and philosophy that people adhere to.
  Thus the revolution in Judaism from Moses's eye for eye and tooth for tooth to which Netanyahu adheres to today, became Jesus narration about the good Samaritan and his antivegence world outlook.
  I was a student in Moscow when General F.W.K. Akufo overthrew his friend General I.K. Acheampong.
  I told my fellow students that Akufo's coup will not be able to defend itself, as I know Akufo from 1968 to 1969 as the commander of the Parachute Battalion at Kamina Barracks, Tamale,as a weak commander who was attached to the apron-strings of the wife.
  I was as well against Rawlings 4th June and 31st December, 1981.
  I saw the failure of Kwame Nkrumah as his inability to spread socialist ideas among the masses.
  Thus, just as why Kwame Nkrumah's socialist ideas came to naught because he was unwilling to spread it among the masses, that the failure of 31st December, was that it had no ideology to guide it.
  In 1982 there was the Soviet Union, with socialist ideology, a communist party in power and socialist ideas to help any nation that want to free itself from neocolonialist economy.
  I am up to date not aware of what socioeconomic help the PNDC presented to the Soviet government in 1982.
  In the first place the Chairman of the PNDC Jerry John Rawlings was anti-socialist.
  I was one of the students who were against the PNDC from the word go.
  First of most, the PNDC did not appeal to the Soviet Union to help it with food supplies during the scarcity of food in Ghana from 1982 to 1984.
  I returned from the Soviet Union on 31st October, 1983 with the expectation to be arrested and send to Nsawam at once.
  However on 2nd November, 1983 I was presented with a proposal of being appointed the Deputy Volta Region Deputy Organizing Secretary, which I refused.
  But on 30th November, 1983 I was enplaned to Havana, Cuba with others to train to defend the revolution.
  Since that group in Cuba was a representative of the Ghanaian population I was interested to know if they believe in a revolution.
  I was disappointed that, just like their relatives in the army who go to Lebanon on peacekeeping to buy cornmill, their interest was in cornmill than how to defend their country and a revolution (that I though will be started by our return from Cuba).
  The PNDC has just gone to the Bretton Wood Institutions when together with others we landed at the Kotoka International Airport in a Soviet Airforce craft.
  Thus started with the devolution of Ghanaian society and economy.
  PNDC acts cannot qualify as a revolution, but rather a counterrevolution.
  By 1987 all Ghanaian state industries were gone, together with social welfare schemes as free tap water for the poor, education, health and sanitation.
  What PNDC was able to foist on Ghanaians was a pillar of tears, which is religion.
