Have South Africa become a communist state. Atleast communist nominally.
Some would say it already is.
*hides*
According to the same credible sources that assure us a white genocide is ongoing there.
...only a moron would argue that South Africa is communist or that there is a white genocide happening in South Africa.
Well, there WAS this case from Canada a few years back...
Asylum seeker Brandon Huntley claimed he had been persecuted, abused and repeatedly stabbed. But it was the reason he gave for his ordeal that caused a diplomatic rift today. Huntley is South African – and white.
Canada's decision to grant him refugee status because of his colour prompted accusations of racism from the South African government and a fresh bout of soul searching in a country still scarred by the legacy of apartheid. Some South African whites say they have become a persecuted minority.
I don't know how exactly he managed to puil this off, whether he was just gaming the rules of the system, of the refugee board was full of right-wing appointees who were naturally sympathetic to claims of anti-white persecution.
Indeed...
That said, there are some worrying policy positions emerging out the ANC - the move to destroy property rights and increasing encroachment of the state. But that said, only a moron would argue that South Africa is communist or that there is a white genocide happening in South Africa.

Frans Cronje, deputy director of the South African Institute of Race Relations, said he sympathised with Huntley as an individual but there were myths around white victimhood. "If he has been stabbed so many times, I can understand his state of mind," he said. "The impression of persecution is very real but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny."
Yeah and Julius Malema is downright frightening. Anytime you've got a party with 10% of the seats in a multiparty parliamentary coalition system leaving the "Rwanda option" open...yeah, that's pretty concerning, and with that many votes they're not on the fringe.
The country would have gone completely to hell except for Mandela. That kind of stuff pretty well proves it.
In fairness, I agree with and emphasize this part of the article:
If he was genuinely attacked seven times and stabbed four, yeah, you can see how you would feel pretty persecuted and unsafe in your mind. I wouldn't call him paranoid or racist. Especially if there was a racial component to the attacks, which is quite possible...white South Africans may not be an oppressed minority but anti-white hate crimes aren't unheard of, and even more so some mugger throwing in some anti-white rhetoric in the course of a property crime. Also, given the amount of crime in the country and the reputation of the SAP it doesn't surprise me that they didn't investigate the assaults/mugging with much vigor (in fact it's exactly what I would expect them to do). I believe he has had the experiences he says, I just don't believe it's because of systemic prejudice.
What do you work with, may i ask? I saw Frans's video on different scenarios for SA, it was interesting.
