It Is Communism vs. Apartheid. At least Apartheid gave them Capitalism.

Gee, tribalism, communism, and the murder and ethnic cleansing of whites yields such confusing results.

It has become a dump under the Socialists.

Soon enough, they will pass laws forbidding white people from leaving so they can keep the maintenance up.

The Haitian revolution had nothing to do with “commies”, but if you want to know where Joburg is headed, have a look at Port au Prince.

I was in Joberg 15 years ago. It was one armed compound after another. You couldn’t walk outside of them. It was never a world class city, whatever that means.

It’s only returning to its African roots.

What does that have to do with the article? Johannesburg is not in Haiti. Haiti is in South Africa. Saint Nelson Mandela of South Africa apartheid fame was a Commie.

The ANC is nominally communist I guess, but mostly it’s just a racist kleptocracy hollowed out by corruption. Ran off most of the white folks who knew how to run things, and looted the countryside.

Oakland is following the exact same path under the "progressives."

“A society built on MERIT cannot survive on DEI (ref. South Africa, and now USA)”

My Tagline and J-Berg is the BEST EXAMPLE, but there literally thousands of other examples.
