South Africa is back in the news because of its anarcho-tyranny and Mugabe-style land expropriation

Missed is that this is Mandela's vision

The ANC's "National Democratic Revolution" concept—using liberalism to establish communism—is going exactly as he planned & hoped for🧵👇

"National Democratic Revolution" (NDR), is originally a Soviet concept that was adopted and built upon by the South African communists, particularly the ruling ANC regime, to suit their unique situation and goal

Their goal, as one might expect of an anti-colonial communist group, is race communism of the sort seen in Zimbabwe under Mugabe

Their unique situation, however, was that they had the world's sympathy and were expected to create the "Rainbow Nation" rather than just another nominally democratic hellhole

Hence, the NDR concept. By slowly boiling the frog, they could use the slogans and methods of liberalism to first establish socialism, and then, from ther,e move to communism

It's that final step we're seeing now, and they might not have boiled the frog slowly enough, as they're getting more resistance than was expected

Still, it's gotten them this far, so it's worth reviewing

The American left is embracing race communism of the sort that destroyed South Africa + Rhodesia

Here, e.g., the Chicago mayor admits to anti-white racism in permitting: “Every dime [blacks] were robbed of, I’ll make sure is returned two- or threefold”

Here's what's coming🧵👇

Mayor Johnson's spewed absurdities are, essentially, the same inane nonsense the African communists pushed before destroying their countries

In South Africa, Mandela's ANC has long insisted that the white farmers "stole" the land from blacks, and thus it needs to be "returned" to them

Much the same was true of Mugabe's thuggery in Zimbabwe, where he and his cronies insisted that "land reform" (farmland expropriation) was a necessity because the white farmers had "stolen" the land when they founded Rhodesia

In every case, it was absurd: the supposed "thieves" built everything that existed, they didn't steal it

South Africa is a great example. When the progenitors of the Afrikaners arrived in 1654, they found a nearly uninhabited land, and those few Khoisan there were roving pastoralists who had settled nothing. The Afrikaners then built South Africa from the ground up, turning an untamed wilderness into a thriving colony with hugely successful farms. They gradually marched to the north and west, settling the land as they went and eventually finding the Xhosa and Zulu, both of whom arrived in what's now South Africa from the north well after the Afrikaners did. Once again, it was the Afrikaners who built civilization, with their labor and hands, in that mostly untamed land. Over the mid-19th to mid-20th century, Anglo settlers and capital poured in as well, helping build civilization where none had formerly existed in South Africa

Rhodesia was much the same thing. The British South Africa Company did, admittedly, find the Matabele and Shona in what became Rhodesia when settling the territory began. But agriculture was limited. No cities, roads, railroads, or the like existed. Populations were limited and sparse. Anglos then poured in and settled it, turning veldt into farms, building cities on open land, and gradually raising civilization on land where little formerly existed. Further, what land the BSAC obtained, the land on which civilization was built, was bought from the Matabele, not "stolen."

Why are Afrikaners fleeing South Africa?

Well, here's what prominent SA politicians say: "We will k*ll white women, we will k*ll white children, and we will even k*ll your pets"

Importantly, this violence is part of Mandela's legacy and happened because of American policy 🧵👇

This should be quite clear as the Afrikaner refugee situation heats up

For example, an ANC (Mandela's party, long aided by the Soviets) hack calling himself "Staling" released this statement about Trump's refugee program and demanded the Afrikaners stay so that they can face "accountability" for "historic privilege"

What does "accountablity" mean in this situation?

It means he wants them to be slain in some of the sickest, most horrific ways imaginable

This is what the farm murders and home invasions across South Africa are: aided by the government (the military, for example, provides them with signal jammers), thugs r*pe, m*rder, and k!ll Boers in their homes

The farm attacks are almost always black on white, almost always involve sexual assault, and frequently involve murder. The same is true of home invasions in urban zones, what few are left in the years after Mandela

"The white [South] Africans, are not originally from South Africa... They can go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany, or Holland."

This is insanely incorrect

🧵👇

The Afrikaners built and were built by South Africa

Yes, the Dutch landed in the mid-1600s, but it was the addition of the Germans and French Huguenots that made them a distinct culture

That only existed in South Africa, and was created there by the local conditions

They are African

Second, because of that African ethnogenesis, they have no home country to go back to

They are not Dutch, French, or German, but rather a unique combination of the three. So, they can’t go back “home,” as South Africa is their home, not Europe

"It's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about... White farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated"

This is all true, but why won't the media write about it?

Since it shows why egalitarian democracy always fails 🧵👇

This is key to understanding South Africa: whatever its other faults, the apartheid regime built a prosperous, industrialized country

It was a leader in medical technology, had nuclear weapons, built a space program, and had the best army and infrastructure in post-colonial Africa. And that's amongst many other accomplishments

Now? Not so much: imagine an entire nation that looks like East St. Louis

The nukes are gone, its a leader in nothing other than crime and decay, it went from having a space program to being unable to produce clean water or reliable electricity, and entire cities have been depopulated thanks to crime and corruption-enabled decay

That is what has been wrought by Mandela and his successors

The reason this happened is that the Indochina was the original Rhodesia: a colonial conflict in which the Americans and communists worked hand in hand to destroy colonial, Christian society and spread communism

That lens is the only one that makes the war make sense

🧵👇

First, we dragged the French along and let them waste their strength, political capital, and blood while providing just enough aid to keep them from losing but not enough to win

Then, when Dien Bien Phu came, we yanked it all away so that they lost in a humiliating defeat and their colonial project, and related war effort in Algeria, took an irrecoverable black eye

The French Empire was finished, and the communist bayonet, aided by our lack of commitment and domestic French leftist agitation, killed it

With that French defeat came the partition, and with it the crowding of the capitalists and Catholics into South Vietnam, with Diem as their leader

We backed Diem in a way that only made him unpopular, and once Diem leaned into pro-Catholic policies, something that would have separated the South from the North and given it a continued reason for resistance, the CIA murdered him and replaced him with a succession of awful and ever more incompetent puppets

Lee Kuan Yew notes in From Third World to First that this was a terrible idea
