I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

American Liberals are totally ignorant about Africa
I received this e-mail from Jonathan, who is a young man living in America. Here are his views on the average American Liberal’s knowledge of Africa:-
Jan,
I am actually well past college age (almost 29 years old!) I was getting
a master’s degree in Computer Science for a while hence this email
account, which they keep threatening to remove but never have.
My family is South African. I still have some relatives in Cape Town and
Port Elizabeth, but have not been back there since I was old enough to
appreciate it. I’m currently trying to learn Afrikaans (which is not an
easy language, by the way) and hope to get over there next winter.
I became particularly interested in politics about a year ago when I
started researching the farm “redistributions” in Zimbabwe. I started off
with the typical liberal attitude, that the farmers just “Deserved” it for
occupying the blacks’ land, but the more I researched it the more my
opinions changed. I have spent a huge amount of time researching African
geopolitics of all sorts in the last year and I am sad to report that the
average American/European (esp. liberal) has NO idea of the true situation
there. I have talked to my grandmother about this extensively (who is a
liberal Jew) and she has sadly told me that for all the problems of the
Apartheid system, that was still far and away the most successful that
Africa will probably ever be.
The average liberal here knows NOTHING about Africa, they just repeat the
standard mantras over and over, that “Colonialism/Apartheid” is bad or
(the insult that means you don’t have to actually debate the facts)
“racist.” I can safely say that there were a LOT of problems with the
colonial system, and there was not nearly enough effort made to help the
black population, but Ian Smith was basically right. Right now I’m just
not sure if there is a satisfactory solution to the African problem –
there’s not a single successful state in Africa right now, with SA falling
into complete disrepair.
Anyway, I could go on and on and on about this, but my real hope is that
eventually the Afrikaner population gets its own small parcel of land.
This seems only fair to me. Of course, it will be the only successful
state in Africa. I think that African tribal politics will always prevent
Africans from developing a successful form of nation-state.
I would like to recommend a couple of older books for you on the subject
of Communism. David Lamb’s “The Africans” (1982) gives quite a bit of
background as to why Communism is a bad idea for Africa, and “The New
Totalitarians” by Roland Huntford is an absolutely excellent book that
details the problems inherent in that one example that liberals hold up to
be a model of “good communism”, Sweden. I think the reason that communism
refuses to die as an ideal is that it IS a good ideal in many regards, I
mean, no poverty, no inequality, etc. sounds good to a lot of people in
the developing world, but it just does not work.
