PAT-RIOTISM means love for fatherland while mat-riotism means love for motherland or, mother-country. Pat is a symbol for “father†while mat is a symbol for “motherâ€.
Where both father and mother are found in the same area and love that area or, land it become pat-riotism and mat-riotism. This love for their country becomes patriotism or matriotism for the gender sensitive Ugandans. These two terms will be used concurrently through the article.
A country sits on an object called land and in order to make land productive, people must work and labour in order to obtain items they desire for living.
In order to produce items for use like food, dresses, and shelter, people must have tools, and raw materials.
The fundamental factor and object that plays this role is “landâ€. Land is the fundamental object of labour.
In all processes of economic production, labourers, tools, machines, and raw materials are all factors of economic production. But labourers, tools and machines are productive forces. But then again, of all these two types of productive forces, labourers are chief productive forces.
In the process of economic production, land, plus the number of labourers, tools, machines, quantity of raw materials, plus infrastructures, these put together, constitute the quality of society in the economic base.
All economic units put together in relation to the size of a geographical environment and, area, occupied by a given people and correctly claimed as their own possession, constitute what should be known as a country.
Now, love for one’s country:
Labour should be looked at from the point of view of duty.
Duty should not be mixed up with job. A job is performed within a context of certain selfish tendencies affecting oneself on one hand and less devotion to society on the other while duty is complete dedication to what should be done perfectly without even supervision by a second party above the performer in a social unit.
Duty is spiritual, self-propelling and has the ability within an individual who assesses what should be done for his or her society and how that should be done.
If or, when there happens to be lack of resources, is when assistance should be asked for from sources that should and can socially assist.
Society should gain from an individual according to the technical ability of that individual much as that individual should receive from society according to the amount of work he or she performs and deposits in an economic process.
Land
This is a property from nature and should be portioned out in such a way that each member of society is exposed to it in a similar way according to and, on the basis of, similar and same hu-man and hu-woman needs in a common society and community. Anybody who exceeds in demand above all others is not a patriot or matriot.
Economic units:
There is a desire and demand for consumption in society.
Somebody realises them and develops an idea as to how they should and, can, be met.
This idea is economic and, therefore, deserves being paid for, because a lot of effort is put into production before consumption.
Ownership of an economic unit:
The one who initiated the idea of what should be produced and how capital is raised to establish the required unit.
He or she, therefore, becomes the owner of that unit.
His or her role is overall mental labour of harnessing all the factors of production within the unit.
Cooperation in the unit:
The owner and, therefore, the employer are entitled to an overall say in the unit.
However, the employee is an appendage to the tool, machine and raw material from day to day.
The employer has only mental labour while the employee deploys both mental and physical labour as his or her labour power is consumed during the production process.
Both the employer and the employee want self welfare, but means of getting it differ according to their respective social positions in the unit.
An employer is just a mental labourer and should be paid according to the amount of mental labour he or she deposits in that very economic unit over which he or she is an employer.
This is because his or her factors of production are fixed assets and do not produce profit from which he or she gets paid. They just wear and tear and then end up in the bodies of products.
Patriotism, matriotism in the superstructure:
The State:
Earnings and remunerations of:
the head of state, ministers, members of parliament, judiciary, civil servants, military officers, should not be out of proportion with the income per capita of a peasant farmer and an ordinary wage earner in the country.
sh20m per month plus a vehicle of sh200m for an MP in comparison to what a homestead earns per year in the village of a constituency is completely out of proportion and is spiritually very crooked and unacceptable.
When offering jobs to members of public, there should not be commissions.That is not patriotism-matriotism.
Obliterate Colonial Titles:
If a country is to be patriotic, all areas should be given their original names and each and every territory including roads and streets should be decolonised. Queen Elizabeth National Park should be called Uganda National Park.
Lake Albert should be called something like Lake Mwitanzige.
Lake George should be “Lake Mahyooro.
Lake Edward should be Lake Rweeru.
River Nile should be called River Kiira.
Lake Victoria should be called Lake Warubaale.
Fort Portal should be called Kabarole.
Superstructure after independence:
Imperialism is the higher stage of capitalism.
Imperialism is more persistent as it covers itself under post-colonial economies of the former colonies and is very subtle. Imperialists have no permanent friends, but permanent interests and is capricious.
Any patriot-matriot can trade with imperialist, but should do it after calculating very carefully what advantages one can get from that type of cooperation.
Patriots and matriots should support Pan-Africanism as well as a search and struggle for peace and friendship with all peace-loving countries of the world.
