The Apartheid regime in South Africa was unsustainable. If they held on power, there would probably be a massacre around 1994 or so.

Well as a believer in the natural rights of humans to be free, I think any regime that denies such rights (to all or just some of its population) can only be maintained through brutality and massacre.

How many people today are aware that at the turn of the last century the Afrikaners identified with the radical Left? The Boer War was a war against "British capitalism," and the Left supported the Boers full throttle. An Afrikaner legislator once started a riot by standing on his chair and singing
The Red Flag.
The apartheid government retained some of the traces of this earlier socialism, but you'll never hear about it because history has been re-written to cast the Left as having always been what it is now (for "people of color" and against "The Man"). But this wasn't always so.

Condemnations of South African apartheid would hold more water if the alternative was something better. Both the whites and the blacks of South Africa were far better off economically under the apartheid government than they are under the rule of Marxist thugs like Zuma.
