Nelson Mandela did a GOOD thing, doncha know. He ended Apartheid in South Africa.
So he was used by the Communists, aren’t they the champions of “equality” everywhere? Not only was he used by the Communists, he embraced the concept of “one man, one vote”, but also added “one way, one time” to that litany. And THAT is entirely compatible with Communist doctrine.
Agreed, apartheid was a Bad Thing, and should have been ended. But the struggle was a tribal war, the various Native African tribes arrayed against the White Tribes (Afrikaans and English), which jointly held ruling power. The Native African tribes were also at war BETWEEN each other, and the force of arms maintained by the White Tribes was to try to hold these warring factions from endless raids upon each other. So for this reason, much like the reasoning that put Native Americans on reservations, the various Native Tribes were herded into “lands” with defined boundaries, in an attempt to limit the violence. This arrangement did nothing to reduce the existing mutual suspicions and hostilities, but some order was restored to the remainder of that tormented land.
At least, until world opinion was sufficiently shifted, through embargos and economic sanctions, and the Afrikaans and the English (actually two separate White tribes) were forced to share power with the various Native African tribes.
The history of the South Africa republic is much more complex than many people realize. Once part of the British Commonwealth, there was considerable immigration from India and other parts of the former Commonwealth.
