SOUTH Africa’s parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country’s Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.

The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.

It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month.

I don't care about the racial aspect of this. What I do care about is the real world fact that government seizure of privately owned farmland has always resulted in huge reductions in food production, whether it be the Soviet Union, China, Zimbabwe, or Venezuela. Why does anyone think that it will be different this time?

“Democracy” “in action.

I care

[Jack Hammer]

This variety of racial fascism has been coming on for years.

Zimbabwe 2.0

It was only a matter of time before South Africa did the same thing that Zimbabwe started 20 years ago. A Constitution means nothing to these Commie Bastards.

Keep that in mind when a future U.S. Regime starts taking away our rights under the our Constitution starting with our firearms.

I’m actually surprised that it took them this long. I figured it would happen decades ago.

[Rurudyne]

No food relief.

Aside: I wonder if Europe will take in white refugees.

I’m betting “no”.

They might clash with their Muslimification.

[laplata]

I’d burn it all down as I left.

[Rurudyne]

The DNC is biting at the chomps even now.

[familyop]

That’s our future, if we don’t start joining efforts and voting to defend our eroding rights.

[Jim from C-Town]

I’m old enough to remember when South Africa was a first World Country!

[himno hero]

“shit hole”

[DoughtyOne]

Headed here > IMO.

Folks, we’re a decade or two behind South Africa, but that’s where we are headed. No use kidding ourselves.

Meanwhile, in Congress...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Every time a communist dictator took over farms and made city people work them famine followed. Look at the sugar cane failure in Cuba and the famine in Cambodia.

Why do people think farming is simply planting seeds and watching them grow?

[Telepathic Intruder]

South Africa is about to become the new Zimbabwe.

[Fiji Hill]

Aside: I wonder if Europe will take in white refugees.
I’m betting “no”.

I have read that many South African whites are inquiring as to whether they can immigrate to Holland, from which their ancestors came three centuries ago.

How about creating sanctuaries for former South African Farmers to come here. You won't have to pay them 'not to grow something' like some of the pretend farming Corporations we have here in the States.

Just give them some land and watch the profits grow.

[Rurudyne]

Get out now with all your possessions and cash. Sell the land to anticommunist blacks. Make sure the anticommunist have lots and lots of guns too ... they’ll need them no matter what.
