[Pic] 2007: Book: Black South Africans are worse off under ANC Rule - Township violence returns!!

Date Posted: Monday 22-Oct-2007

[Adriana sent me this nice piece. Well, its "Disaster Capitalism" being it is being implemented by Socialists and Communists - that's why. I hope the CIA learns its lesson from this. Don't hand the country over to Marxist TERRORISTS and expect them to run a proper Capitalist Pro-Western society!! Jan]

WHY ARE VIOLENT SA TOWNSHIP PROTESTS BACK?

[Pic] 2007: Book: Black South Africans are worse off under ANC Rule - Township violence returns!!

'Black South Africans are much worse off under ANC-rule than they ever were during apartheid... ' - Naomi Klein in "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism'...

After over a decade of ANC-rule under Thabo Mbeki, conditions for black people in SA are today so much worse than they ever were under apartheid that black communities all across the country's townships again have returned to the streets to protest -- waging violence-driven campaigns, this time against their own black regime. They are protesting against their dismal living conditions and also the drastic lack of civil liberties being endured under the Mbeki-regime.

Far-left Canadian journalist Naomi Klein noted these shocking living conditions of black South Africans under the Mbeki-regime -- describing them in her latest book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism". Klein provides the following list of how living conditions for SA blacks have gotten worse:

o Four-million people now live on less than $1 a day (doubled since apartheid);
o 48% of the people now are unemployed; it was 28% under apartheid;
o only 5,000 of 35-million+ black South Africans earn over $60,000 a year;
the ANC government has built 1.8 million (ramshackle, tiny) new homes while two-million South Africans have lost theirs;
o Some 1-m blacks were evicted from farms by new black farmers;
o the shack dweller population grew by 50%,
o in 2006, one-quarter of the entire SA population lives in shacks without running water or electricity.
o the TB/AIDS infection rate is soaring past 20% -- and the Mbeki government denies the severity of the twin killer-epidemics;
o The average life expectancy for everyone is at 48 years; it hovered around 62 years during apartheid;
o 40% of all SA schools have no electricity;
o 25% of all the 46-million people in SA have no clean wate
o 60% of all the people have inadequate sanitation; 40% have no telephones.

The trouble with the blacks (in general) is that they cannot do anything correctly. Even under full blown communism in Russia and China, the people of those countries had roofs over their heads, they had jobs, and probably (for most of the time) had running water and electricity (ok, maybe not in the real rural areas!). AND they probably had reasonable security. Even now, it is highly unlikely that you would get murdered (maybe mugged, but not murdered) anywhere in China. (I know - I've been there and my wife is from China.)

However, the blacks (who are supposed to be so much better than whites, and better trained in communism and socialism than their teachers) STILL cannot get anything right.

They screw up capitalism. They screw up communism. They screw up socialism. They screw up even tribalism. Hell, just what do then NOT screw up? Oh, I know! CRIME! MURDER! RAPE! Just about any activity that is supposedly for the betterment of themselves and the community, they screw up. We need another word to describe the black -ism!

The unfortunate thing is that those blacks that can and do rise above the general seething mass of black inhumanity just are not enough to make any impression on those that they have left behind. And they are still too close to that mass that they are still indistinguishable.

What to do...? I have no idea.

Why is Naomi Klein so afraid to admit that the old Conservative National Party government was much better for black South Africans? The Conservative National Party government was a Capitalistic government, and I believe Capitalism is the only way to save South Africa from the mess of socialism/Marxism.
