How to be a Good Communist byNelson Mandela

For decades, it was one of the enduring disputes of South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle. Was Nelson Mandela, the leader of the African National Congress, really a secret Communist, as the white-only government of the time alleged? Or, as he claimed during the infamous 1963 trial that saw him jailed for life, was it simply a smear to discredit him in a world riven by Cold War tensions? Now, nearly half a century after the court case that made him the world’s best-known prisoner of conscience, a new book claims that whatever the wider injustice perpetrated, the apartheid-era prosecutors were indeed right on one question: Mr. Mandela was a Communist party member after all.
The former South African president, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, has always denied being a member of the South African branch of the movement, which mounted an armed campaign of guerrilla resistance along with the ANC. But research by a British historian, Professor Stephen Ellis, has unearthed fresh evidence that Mbsenior rank in the South African Communist Party, or SACP. He says Mr. Mandela joined the SACP to enlist the help of the Communist superpowers for the ANC’s campaign of armed resistance to white rule. …

I see you are a realist.
Imagine what their heads would have exploded if you told them that the Naacp was founded by white communists !
Mandala was a terrorist and proof that one man can destroy the prosperity of a country if that man has enough people who are stupid enough to follw him
America should learn that lesson from him.
We now have that man in the White House.
Communist or not, when Mandela dies, the Republicans in DC will be fighting each other to get in front of a TV camera to deliver the most glowing tribute to Mandela.
He wrote a communist manifesto while he was in prison titled “How to be a Good Communist by Nelson Mandela”. Is that what tipped them off?
well yeah . the ANC has always been a Marxist organ . now if only we can get the POSOTUS to fess up?
Yes, he was a communist. Just about all liberals/progressives are one of the following:
- Foolish dupes
- Fellow-travelers who sympathize with the communist agenda but either can’t admit to themselves or are in denial about it
- Deceivers practicing a political form of Taqiyya.
Mandela, IMHO, was the third type. Jail time and the desire to be liked by the global community has moderated him somewhat.
But we're not supposed to talk about that.
The CP cleverly sought out and exploited groups of "discontents" in the first half of the 20th century.
And American blacks were justifiably discontent over Jim Crow laws and other discriminatory practices -- little did they know, however, that hitching their wagon to socialism's star would eventually result in the destruction of the black American family, and make life immeasurably worse.
He didn’t use the word Communist, but still....
I would add to the list that lawyer in India, Gandhi. He used the same tactic against England the communists and Islamist vowed to use against us...using our own laws against us.
obama is using a slightly different tactic, he just ignores all our established laws and it’s easy because he owns the Department of ‘Justice’.
“Imagine what their heads would have exploded if you told them that the Naacp was founded by white communists !”
and that WHITE is a COLOR.
The dominant ideology in any university humanities dept is Marxism.
