“If you tolerate this, your children will be next.”
During the Spanish Civil War, the Republicans distributed a propaganda poster with the picture of a dead child in front of group of bombers. The slogan read, “If you tolerate this, your children will be next.” That situation now applies to South Africa, as the fate of white people around the world is linked to that of the Afrikaners.
Last month, the black-majority South African parliament voted overwhelmingly for the confiscation of white land without compensation. The motion was brought by radical racialist Julius “Kiddie Amin” Malema of the Marxist EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters) party, who has threatened to “cut the throat of whiteness,” among other things. Whites, already under siege in a deteriorating, dangerous country, are staring down the barrel of massive, legally sanctioned theft which could set off even greater conflict.
The obvious comparison is to Zimbabwe, where Robert Mugabe undertook a similar effort. Productive white farms were expropriated and given to blacks who didn’t know how to run them. Whites fled, the economy tanked, the currency hyperinflated, and the “breadbasket of Africa” became one of Africa’s worst basket cases. Mr. Mugabe is out of power thanks to a recent coup, but the country may never recover. Rather than serving as an example of black self-sufficiency, Zimbabwe today is dependent on China and may become a de facto colony.
Yet Zimbabwe, with a population around 16 million, is small enough to be kept on life support by injections of food aid and foreign currency. South Africa, with 60 million people, is a different story. If whites go, there will be no one capable of feeding the hungry multitudes. South Africa already faces massive power outages, collapsing infrastructure, and now a severe water shortage, with Cape Town poised to run out of water next month. All of this is due to two decades of destructive decisions by an incompetent looter government. Does the African National Congress/EFF coalition think that manna will rain from heaven for the Xhosa and Zulu once the productive white farmers are gone? ...
