If the ANC gets captured the South African Communist Party will be left with no other option but to build a new people`s national democratic revolutionary front and proceed with the objective of advancing the second radical phase of its democratic transition‚ says SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande.

But the reality at present was that it was impossible for the whole of the ANC to be captured‚ he said at the launch of the SACP`s Red October campaign in eThekwini on Sunday.

"There are still many progressive comrades and revolutionaries who are not necessarily communists‚ but as well as communists in their own right all as ANC members‚" he added.

But he said the SACP would not go into an alliance with factions.

"We are not going to be in an alliance with the parasitic bourgeoisie or their collaborators
