“The Negroid Bantu peoples started to move south long after the Dutch landed in the Cape and imported farmers from Holland to provide food stocks for their trading ships rounding the Cape sailing to and from the East Indies. ”

That is simply untrue, the Xhosa, which are part of what you call the “Negroid Bantus” were occpupying the land, the southeastern part of South Africa (Eastern Cape), long before the Dutch settled and had contacts with the Khoisans.
It can be seen today in their genetics (they are part Khoisan) and in their language (presence of “clicks” which can only be found in Bantus languages found in southern Africa.

These farms did not exist before white settlers. They have been the ones who have invested blood, sweat and tears for over 300 years to make the land productive. For the ANC and its cronies, who have contributed absolutely nothing to this development, to snatch these farms away is theft.

Pres. Trump and other defenders of Western Civilization should arm these farmers to protect themselves, and sanction the ANC if necessary.

By land theft, I’m assuming you mean by white settlers, right?

Not true. The Khoi San indigenous peoples were nomads whose territory ranged from Southern Angola to the Cape of Good Hope. They were hunter gatherers who did not grow food crops of any kind and constructed minimalist grass huts for shelter.

The Negroid Bantu peoples started to move south long after the Dutch landed in the Cape and imported farmers from Holland to provide food stocks for their trading ships rounding the Cape sailing to and from the East Indies.

The land was extremely poor for farming and many gave up and asked to return to Holland or go to the East Indies. The few who remained traded with the Khoi and some intermarried thus the origins of the Afrikaner and the Afrikaans language which is basic Dutch combined with African languages and a smattering of English. It is the only language that can be read and understood by two different languages.

As with their language so progressed their farming methods. Within a short space of time they learned to tame this inhospitable land and turned it into a land of bounty, in much the same way the Israelis have done.

The Bantu peoples settled in the Eastern Cape and Natal bringing with them their cattle and practiced subsistence farming, moving on to new pastures when the land became exhausted. They built no permanent structures but did establish large villages comprising of single storey mud huts.

They traded with the new African tribe called Afrikaaners for food and trinkets and thus began the Bantu population explosion in tandem with the massive expansion of commercial farming.

No one stole any land from anyone!

Post 1994 the new democratic government began to buy white farms on the agreed willing seller willing buyer system agreed in the constitutional negotiations. These farms were handed over to supporters of the ruling party who sold off anything movable and either left the farms to go to rack and ruin or in a few cases leased the farm back to a white farmer, often the original owners. There have of course been a few success stories but not enough to give substance to any prospect of sufficient food production in the event all the white farmers abandon South Africa.

Take the unfortunate Zimbabwe paradigm. Mugabe simplistically considered that replacement of the few white farmers with thousands of people with no farming skills on small parcels of land would work. It didn’t, Zimbabwe went from being a net exporter of food to a major importer, mainly from South Africa.

The one area in Zimbabwe’s agricultural revolution that did flourish was tobacco which was easy to grow on the small holdings but nowhere near the levels previously produced.

The new leaders of Zimbabwe, President Manangagwa did not mince words when he told his people that he was giving back the farms to their previous owners. He said and I quote him , “If the white man had never come to Africa, the black people would still be dressed in animal skins and living in huts”.

Many of the expelled Zimbabwean farmers were grabbed by Angola, Zambia Nigeria and myriad other countries. Zambia for instance was an importer of food, now it exports food to Zimbabwe. Angola, who also imports massive quantities of food from South Africa, is less dependant.

Which brings me to my last point. It’s not just the people of South Africa that will suffer starvation if the white farmers leave, it will be the whole of Southern Africa. Every country in Southern Africa will be affected. Botswana being a desert country imports most of it’s food from South Africa, there’s no alternative source of food for an expanding urban population that’s lost its ability to live off the land.

The platitude that white farmers should be dispossessed and forced to work for the new black farmers is not realistic. There’s also the very probable repercussion that they will revolt with support from the most unexpected quarters.

They will no doubt do great things with it.

Why would we care? Boers had to either give up power or keep their power in a smaller area. I don’t think anyone believes that it was demographically sustainable for Boers to keep it all…

The lesson is no never give up power. The Boers didn’t bite off more than can chew. They gave up power.

Give the blacks something substantial, valuable, something they can claim – maybe Natal, Rand or the area around Port Elisabeth.

They will no doubt do great things with it.

Have SA farmers applied and been refused to emigrate? Do they want to (not should they want to) leave?

You didn’t mention the decades of forced expropriation by the white-socialist apartheid government under the Land Act and the Group Areas Act. During the 1960s and 1970s, Sophiatown, Pageview and District Six were all ethnically cleansed by the apartheid government, and their black, coloured and Indian inhabitants were displaced and sent to ethnic ghettos so that poor whites could live in those places. Those are the best-known examples, but there are many, many more.

Group rights were put into the SA Constitution at the behest of Afrikaner interests, so they could preserve their “volk”.

You would also know that opening a pro-forma murder docket is not the same as charging someone with murder when they kill an intruder.

And your photo at the top is of black Democratic Alliance supporters (presumably inserted to scare your readers): they actually support a white controlled party that, since 2016, controls Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, and Port Elizabeth (4 of the 5 largest cities in South Africa).

There’s plenty wrong with South Africa, but blatant intellectual dishonesty won’t help inform observers about what’s really going on there.

Trump will do nothing but play golf (possibly with his own balls) and hand gibs to Israel.

It would be Top Fun if Putin decided to do it.

“It is dangerous to stay alone on this farm, take this!” (airdrops a container of military goodness)

(Also, before someone comes up with “muh stolen land”, I hear the farmers had to actually acquire the land rightfully post-apartheid, and possibly paid for it in full. So there is really no reason for expropriation, violent or otherwise.)

“The whites in SA are the people who created this catastrophe. They had the power to prevent it, to stop the insane over-population of natives before they became a demographic time bomb, to forcibly expel them.”

Actually, the ancestors of whites in South Africa are responsible. They invaded and invited the world.

They. Must. Go. Back.

“What we should be doing is encouraging Wakanda by repatriation and restoration of our American negroes to the real Wakanda in SA.”

How about YOU go on this crusade yourself, rather than insist others do the dirty work for you.

“Can you explain to me where in Africa you see development?”

Africa has no where but to go up.

“If there was, is, why do nearly all Africans try to migrate to Europe?”

Nearly all? No, some Africans try to migrate to Europe, for the same reasons Europeans migrated to the United States.

“The reason Africa does not develop might be what an African in a German TV docu said ‘die Weissen können nicht einfach herumsitzen’, translation ‘the whites are unable to hang around’.”

Actually, Africa is developing. See the above two links.

Rules for leaders and aspiring leaders in a voter democracy:

(a) Don’t appear on TV with your hand shaking as if you have the palsy or have recently had a stroke (PWB).

(b) Don’t fall face-first into a van (HRC).

I developed these rules myself.

It hardly matters what the state of the SA constitution is. The people who could protect the various tribes from themselves have left the country.

You might want to read,

“King Leopold’s Ghost.”

U.S. authorities should allow White South Africans into this country and grant them some kind of legal status. This will piss off American Blacks and White liberals, which is a good thing.

This has to be one of the dumbest ideas I’ve seen on Unz (but I do block a lot of commenters so..)

The whites in SA are the people who created this catastrophe. They had the power to prevent it, to stop the insane over-population of natives before they became a demographic time bomb, to forcibly expel them, etc. Instead, the people who should have known better than anyone on the planet the true nature of the natives, chose to give up their authority over what they’d built and hand it freely to the natives. And your idea is to bring them here? Thinking they’ll piss off white SJWs and negroes?

What we should be doing is encouraging Wakanda by repatriation and restoration of our American negroes to the real Wakanda in SA. It’s a “first world nation” “built by Africans” isn’t it? So encourage them to go and keep building it. Let them do whatever they wish with the idiot whites who created that mess, who cares? Maybe some American and European whites will learn from the spectacle.

Wakanda is South Africa

I would add that armed resistance made ending apartheid much tougher. Especially resistance supported by any communist state.

What utter tripe you speak.

It was economic sanctions by the West (most of Western Europe, North America and Australasia) that started the process of ending Apartheid in South Africa.

SA did not have a South African lobby in the USA, so there was no interest on the part of US lawmakers to not virtue signal and therefore throw White SA under the bus, unlike some other country – but its name escapes me…

In any event, the main catalyst for the USA passing sanctions on SA was due to the senator for Chapaquidick – him of impeccable morals – conducting a whirlwind tour of SA and pointedly not engaging with any Black leaders who were not in favour of economic sanctions. Your contention that the Blacks overwhelmingly supported sanctions in SA is not exactly true. A majority did, but it was not overwhelmingly so. Apart from which, what would the average Black peasant have understood about economics. I say that as a statement of fact, not as a racial slur.

Reagan’s veto was overturned as more than 2 thirds of congress voted in favour of sanctions.

However, what really put the squeeze on the SA economy was the recalling of foreign loans, primarily from US financial institutions.

Student sit-ins and private boycotts? Balderdash!

The USSR, Cuba or other African states had no bearing whatsoever on political change in SA. After the South African involvement in the Angolan war had ended, we had zero dealings with any of these countries, be it economic, military or anything else.

As for the ANC or other Black liberation groups in SA, their combat abilities (an oxymoron) were quite ineffective – several terrorist attacks which killed people indiscriminate of race, age or gender -
notwithstanding.

Why there is nobody asking Belgium to take up the responsibility to fix the mess they left behind?

Probably because the “mess” is independent of Belgium actions.

but before the American led NATO invasions there were orderly societies despite they did not fit the West’s taste

They had as many problems then as now. It is a mistake to imagine the past as utopia. A society’s fundamental capability gets expressed over time.

A reminder that Ronald Reagan vetoed successive UN security resolutions condemning the apartheid state and resisted or slowed down attempts to impose sanctions, measures that were overwhelmingly approved by Black South Africans. It was American student sit-ins and private boycotts that went a long way toward combating and finally bringing formal apartheid to its knees. Credit must also go to ANC’s armed resistance supported by other African states, Cuba and the Soviets, but not the West, who were busy propping their puppet Jonas Savimbi’s insurgency against the MPLA government in Angola.

Whether or not there are legal prohibitions against behavior seems to matter a whole lot less in the Brave New World of the Left we live in. The US has had some decent laws against illegal immigration but when the government refuses to enforce them (as under Obama/Bush II) or “Judicial Activist” Judges, and “Sanctuary Mayors/Governors” put up roadblocks to their enforcement, they become worthless. Free Speech laws seem to increasingly suffer a similar fate, as, it seems likely, will gun laws.

Unless the powers that be enforce laws under the true spirit and letter of the law, they might as well be written on slips of paper in a fortune cookie.

I have no doubt that families have their issues.

but the observation by Pres. Mandela isn’t changed by those family issues. Unlike the reasons Israel uses to justify taking more of Palestine that she is entitled or the attempts to justify apartheid.

I have no doubt that many Israelis and colonials persons of influence, distinction – in fact considered heroes for one aspect of their work:

beat their wives
raped
stole – steal
engage in incest and any number untoward behavior.

The difference is that while Pres Mandela was alive — he stood fast against white reprisals. Whatever the accusations about homelife, he exercised amazing restraint in dealing with the white society that practiced apartheid as a matter of christian.

You can change the subject if you’d like to dwell on intra-personal dynamics as opposed to public policy if you

I am unclear what mineral contracts, ,mineral exploration and extraction bear on the question apartheid.

One is not synonymous with the other.

I am supremely confident that one can be a colony and still engage in fair practices towards one’s fellows, abide by agreements, not engage in swindling or applying standards not on the table to wrestled through contractual disputes.

That is the issue. In making the case for whites as superior and or developers and therefore justified in their abuse leaves no room to complain about Israelis who consider themselves, superior and will develop the region in ways the Arabs do not, including how they will extract resources and use the land. An Israeli can and does make the same claims — as colonials

No colony could sustain its initial existence without the aide of their mother countries/outside support.

It’s hard to square a position that says, if I operate on behalf of my mother country it’s ok. But if i do the same, make the same arguments on behalf of myself — it’s abusive. Eventually, those outposts made the claims on behalf of themselves. One could just as well consider the zionists in Palestine setting up shop (outposts) on behalf of their fellow Jews among the hinetrland of Europe, for clearly, the Jews intend to make sure Israel is white Jewish and not wholly Jewish as god himself intended. waiting to establish their own.

The wiggle room here is nil and null.

Nelson Mandela, although little noted in the press, when Mandela came to Massachusetts during the Clinton Administration, his daughter refused to see him. She was at UMass at the time. The reason, he had regularly beat her mother (not WInnie).

Colonialism is objectionable for a great many reasons and everybody, Europeans as well (especially?), would be better off if it never happened. But the simple fact is that the resources in these lands would have remained unextracted and there would be nothing like modern infrastructure (now crumbling from mal-use) without European intervention. You can reject the former while being fully cognizant of the implications of the latter.

The Israeli situation in Palestine is completely different from the European colonization of Africa (or Asia), apart from the fact that Israelis aren’t Europeans. Israel could not maintain its occupation and land theft without massive assistance from the US and Europe, who receive no real benefits from the relationship. Israel is not an imperial outpost in any economic sense, like colonial administrators of old. Rather, it is a safe haven for International Jewry to flee when the situation gets too hot in the host countries (interestingly, exactly as anticipated in Mein Kampf).

For those of you defending colonialism based on the ability of whites to take by force, violate contractual agreements, use technical western concepts to contend for some manner of legal tending which had no meaning for most African societies —

As I understand the arguments you support Israel’s claim to greater Palestine based on

1. their development

2 divine right

3 legal technicalities

and or any combination of the above to include

4. the use if force as justification

So you are granting Israel’s claims as accurate, having veracity and therefore valid.

No. my view of the commonly held view and practice. Let’s not play tiddle winks. You are making the accusation the burden is on you to prove that inheritance is not a standard practice round the world.

I will skip and ignore the childishness of name calling. Let’s just suffice it to say, your comments reflect the issues (some of them about inheritance) it does not in any way diminish the practice as a nonunique practice across cultures.

I think you should actually read the reference you posted, the nexus of the press is not against inheritance — it that said stake holders violated their contractual agreement.

And what settles my position is that the referenced site acknowledges the cross cultural practice of inheritance. The article says, that inheritence is widespread. it is not a critique of inheritence, but the concept of private ownership of the land — and his critique is limited to the European feudal system —

It says absolutely nothing negative about the private monies, goods, businesses, etc being handed over to after a passing as inheritance to others –

I am not sure why so many of you have a tendency to note one aspect of a thing and proceed to make wholesale over-generalizations and misapplication. It’s probably a good idea to stop when your own reference contradicts your view.

You are advancing a critique of land ownership to the issue of inheritance — they are not same thing just because they have mutual links to the matter of inheritance.

Have at it. After all — you did describe “meekness” fairly accurately — close enough.

They should have done this decades ago. Contrary to the title of this article, it would have made no difference what “muh Constitution” said, Black government was always going to seize the land and genocide any whites who didn’t escape, because that’s what Africans do…

No mention of Britain reneging on the deal to fund land buy-backs ????

We don’t need any immigrants.

Can you explain to me where in Africa you see development ?
If there was, is, why do nearly all Africans try to migrate to Europe ?

The reason Africa does not develop might be what an African in a German TV docu said ‘die Weissen können nicht einfach herumsitzen’, translation ‘the whites are unable to hang around’.

What we see with the migrants is that they can.
After being here for eight years they still do not speak the language, do not work, but do state that they want to work.

Writing this I’m remembering that, long ago, a DDR man who had succeeded in going to then W Germany.
He was asked what he found of W Germany, he said ‘had I known I had to work so hard here, I would have stayed’.

“Let’s just say that neither Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants or any other branch of Christianity would agree with you. ” Fortunately for me my views are not up for a vote. Even though if you go up to the average Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant in the street, and ask them if the following passage (and many, many more like it) is the word of God or the word of the Beast, what will they say?

13 Deuteronomy 6-10: If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

20 Deuteronomy 10-15: 10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

So I think a lot of Christians believe the “Old Testament” is part of Christianity because that is what they learned, not because they really believe it. The Jewish bible truly is a work of evil. And if you ask me the Jews worked it into Christianity so they could run with this “Judeo-Christian” crap. Which has worked remarkably well for them. But I’m not fooled.

I agree Marx has flaws. I have read his works extensively. But that does not make all he writes wrong. He also believed the sun was bright. Does that make it false? Yes, he was a materialist, and yes he opposed the Church for oppressing the people (which, at the time, it did), but lots of people you probably read and whose scripts you watch in movies have similar views.

“If an average income is taxed at 10% most people would consider that reasonable, methinks. ” That’s fine for you to think but I prefer no income tax but a property tax. And I don’t believe in private property, aside from some areas which are also covered in the Bible, such as clothes, tools, etc., which is just common sense. Plus my income is taxed vastly more than 10%. If you add all taxes, including property, sales, etc., it is closer to 80%. Even more if you include the “interest” tax I have to pay to the oligarchs who inherited their money. And you are right, I do find that draconian and unjustified. That’s why I am ready for revolution, today. The richer you are, the less tax you pay. That uber-hypocrite Buffet probably pays 0.1% tax (he lies and says is it 20-some% but that is a gross and deliberate distortion).

“The point is, in a Capitalist system, despite all its many flaws, what you have and earn is yours” That’s absolutely false. First the vast majority of people have nothing, as the oligarchs own the bulk of wealth. And if you are lucky you can slave your life for them, earning them a profit on everything you make, a tax if you will, which the State enforces with violence, or you can pay them fruit of your hard work to buy some property they were born with. No thanks. Utterly unjust in any case.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, about capitalism which requires inheritance.

“The latter system is more controlling; the former, crappy as it might be in so many ways, is less so.” Yes, that is the oligarchs’ propaganda, isn’t it? We own everything so you can be free? LOL.

” Problem with the Boers is they were completely content being super racists for centuries ”

Read as comparison George Orwell’s Burmese Days.

My idea is that nobody ever read it.
The book is incomprehensible, I stopped at page 20.
That it is incomprehensible may be explained that it took Marx ten or eleven years to ‘prove’ his assertion that capital would be concentrated by fewer and fewer people.
Though the distribution of capital is very uneven, we never saw fully what Marx predicted.

Indeed boring, but I persevered.
Wanted to know if Hitler wanted war or the extermination of jews.
Both things I did not find.
That jews were parasites, yes.

Okay, I won’t bother responding to you anymore. You appear to be genuinely psychotic.

U.S. authorities should allow White South Africans into this country and grant them some kind of legal status. This will piss off American Blacks and White liberals, which is a good thing.

It’s also a good reason why it’ll never happen. The only way I could be wrong is if the 2016 election turns out to be the bellwether of a new order rather than the last gasp of an old one.

And frankly, that could only happen if there were to be a sea change in the cast and ownership of the mass media, and that most definitely is not happening.

Unfortunately.

I don’t know why Ilana bothers posting to this site.

Well, I for one am glad she does. This article is her second home-run in a row. I hadn’t made a practice of reading her essays regularly but I may start.

Agree with you about the dismaying, celebratory aspect of some comments here, but it’s worthwhile knowing what we’re up against. They plan a combination of enslavement and slaughter for the people who built Western Civilization. They need to be resisted with everything we have.

An integral part of that resistance has to involve identifying and shaming (at the least!) the particular ‘characters’ behind the MSM propaganda which daily feeds the fire of grievance–some of which is indeed legitimate, but the vast majority of which is manufactured for political purposes.

Brother Nathanel, Philip Giraldi will rail against the Jews but will not provide an answer as to where we should put the Jews.

Where should we put them? Or do you rail and then not provide answers as well?

Gee, I “disparage” this site’s “most incisive and insightful contributors”?

Let’s analyze some of these contributors. John Derbyshire, who has a Chinese wife and offspring, has stated that Asians are superior to whites.

(((Ilana Mercer)) and her family were kicked out of South Africa for their anti-apartheid work.

Brother Nathanel, Philip Giraldi will rail against the Jews but will not provide an answer as to where we should put the Jews.

“Anonymous” commentators have ranted against Robert Spencer because he is supposedly not white.

The various “anonymous” commentators have eventually revealed themselves as non-white or involved with Asian women.

Unz Review struck me as a place that was trying to save the West. When I point out facts, all I get is cry baby nonsense.

the cape belonged to the boers and now they must seize

Too late for this McOhen.

They would be bombed by NATO after the Trumpen Reich passes from the scene.

Exactly right a good jew is not a jew at all anymore. In a place like france or greece they should not even be allowed neither should by nordic irish ass. But in mutt white nations they unlike the rest of us must fully assimilate because unlike the rest of us they have a 2000 year track record of duplicity they must amend if they are not cool with that i get it they can go to israel.
I only suggest these allowance because unlike many Im serious about actual war. In other words many are content to hold pure ideas because ultimately they don’t really think any of this is real. I understand we are actually in an existential position and the world is on the cusp of a 500- 2000 year power realignment plans that will actually work have to be made we cant afford keyboard superheros gumming up the ability to think practically. hitler failed to get rid of the jews because its a really difficult thing to do and because even saying who is or isn’t is really hard. Jews really have been pretty important contributors to our tech and would be pretty good adversaries if they were alienated from the west entirely. and most of all, right now in the USA center of world power they have half the wealth and power dislodging them would not be easy and we would still have to deal with the mess they made.flipping them might just be a lot easier than we think. They too have suffered a multiculturalist leftist identity crisis they are rarely religious they marry out and like eldridge cleaver pointed out they buy into the white cultural hegemony, in other words on a certain level they want to be us more than ever and lets not forget genetically even the pure AKZ are 50-60% italian I mean they are probably closer to me genetically than a greek or an icelander im irish norwegian. I gues as a racist anti semite Im in a minority when i say if they would stop acting the way they do and cease keeping genetically and culturally apart I dont have any real ick factor about assimilating them genetically the way say other races must be kept out. of course im not voluteering to personally do this but if jews and wasps want to get it on at harvard fine as long as they again become whites rather than jews and citizens of the world

If you’re trying to argue against identity politics, ah but Im so much younger than that now.Then what you would be saying is if you accept the given that nations are multicultural then to allow identity politics for the dominant group will surely backfire on them. Uh yeah if you accept multiculturalism as a given then another given is identity politics and another given further down the road is civil race war.But then you would have begun by destroying the entire point of a nation state which is the place from which a particular people safely operate from and engage the world.
And if youre really retarded and saying that whites have no business in africa and therefore the multicultural state that is dooming them predictably is there comeuppance then I hope you’re not an american canadian australian new zealander etc or if you are youre ok with your wife and family being raped and murdered. The proper understanding is we whites are one of millions of species of life on this planet that nature has pitted against each other for existence and the only objective moral action is to survive by any means possible. So while no ethnic subspecies of human has lived forever in any one place it wouldnt matter if say the zulu actually had bee native to south africa for 1.8 million years the boers were able to take it and should have resisted the jews attempts to give it back to blacks, but they didnt and the jews one the jews are winning a lot these past 100 years so maybe they will be the future of the universe and if so as a humanoid hoka hey, but as white I say not so fast jewboy I think you need to step over here into this nice cattle car

Yes, I am familiar with the history of the Christian crusades in the Middle East and the subjugation of Native Americans.

Your idea of a protective state for White South Africans is a good one and is necessary. Better yet, U.S. authorities should allow White South Africans into this country and grant them some kind of legal status. This will piss off American Blacks and White liberals, which is a good thing.

Under your theory of human nature why would Zuckerberg or Buffet do anything?

I don’t see your argument. My point is that people are driven to improve things they own and (as they get older) can pass on to their kids. I never said that there is a limit at which they stop wanting that. Indeed, if the only thing Zuckerberg cared about was living as a king, he’d sell all of his shares today and retire, living on investments etc. But, instead, he is driven to improve and build Facebook into something more than it already is.

Most workers, e.g., do not own their business, yet they do not “squander” it

Workers and owners are not the same thing. Workers don’t inherently care about the resource, except that they are fired by the owner when they do something that squanders it. More generally, because workers are employed at the owner’s pleasure (and vice-versa), each takes on some of the motivations of the other.

Anyway you can pretty much destroy that argument by allowing some limited inheritance, say 5-10%.

Not really. If the amount of inheritance tax is high enough, then any investment in a resource is not worth it. If your going to lose 90% of something, it very well might be better to exploit/ruin it before the tax hits. It’s like home improvements. Roughly speaking, most home improvements will pay $.50 on the dollar when you go to sell the house. So you shouldn’t really improve your house if you intend to sell it soon (minor cosmetic things that help sell the house are excluded).

The right level of inheritance tax is one that encourages people to improve things to the end, yet prevent runaway wealth gain such that a de facto ruling class is created by one successful generation. That is, every generation should be very productive in order to maintain or grow their level of wealth.

Don’t forget that Afrikaner fight for self-determination was subverted by Boer elites & Anglo-American globalism: https://www.amren.com/features/2013/05/when-patriotism-meets-conservatism/

Still, I am not so pessimistic. I think there is a good chance for Boers to create their nation-state among the ruins of what was SA. They just have to dissociate from Anglo-Jewish globalist ideology & concentrate in a defensible area.

“you cannot be a true Christian if you accept the Old Testament”

Let’s just say that neither Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants or any other branch of Christianity would agree with you.

My comments regarding Marx are based on the writings of Richard Wurmbrand, a Jewish convert to Christianity who became a Christian pastor and was imprisoned in brutal conditions in Communist Romania. His views on Marx, and therefore Marxist doctrine, are very insightful regarding the spiritual underpinnings of that system. There was more to it than mere atheism. But you are right about one thing – I did get it off the internet.

“All taxation “forcibly takes your goods”, so we’ve crossed that Rubicon”

Common sense rules. The state has to be supported, so a degree of taxation is inevitable. If an average income is taxed at 10% most people would consider that reasonable, methinks. On the other hand, if an average income is taxed at 90% most people would consider that draconian and unjustified.

The point is, in a Capitalist system, despite all its many flaws, what you have and earn is yours but you must contribute some of what you have to society.

By contrast, under Communism, what you have and earn fundamentally does not belong to you – and the state decides how much you can have.

The latter system is more controlling; the former, crappy as it might be in so many ways, is less so. So that’s why I prefer it. And that’s also quite apart from the spiritual underpinnings of Marxism.

I don’t know why Ilana bothers posting to this site.

Those who comment to the effect that, “the expropriated whites are getting what they deserve,” may not be so happy in a future America in which their homes, savings and retirement plans will be expropriated to be turned over to “past victims of oppression” and their children left devastated and without recourse.

Those who don’t see that coming are blind as well as dumb.

One can’t be a Christian and not wholly accept the Old Testament in the same manner one accepts the New Testament.

I couldn’t disagree more – in fact you cannot be a true Christian if you accept the Old Testament. The Old Testament is the word of the Satanic Beast Yahweh and the Synagogue of Satan which Christ condemned. And I don’t care what some elitist corrupt group of assholes said in some conference 1,000+ years ago. All I need to do is read the text and it is abundantly clear the Old Testament describes a Satanic Beast and the New Testament a God. Sad for you that you have fallen for it.

Marx hated God and wanted to dethrone Him. I’m not interested in reading anything he wrote, seeing as he was a servant of the father of lies.

Close your mind all you want, but maybe you shouldn’t be using the internet, it was invented by an atheist. Ideas are orthogonal – just because someone is wrong about one thing doesn’t mean he is wrong about everything. Well, except for in your world.

except that it forcibly takes your goods as opposed to encouraging your generosity with what is actually yours.

All taxation “forcibly takes your goods”, so we’ve crossed that Rubicon. Moreover, the law giving exclusive rights to property to one person forcibly takes it from me, as I am not allowed to use it. That is also force, though of course it is force you love. You do not have a consistent position. Finally, “actually yours” is entirely conclusory. My entire point is I challenged that someone who inherits something that it is “actually theirs”. It’s only theirs if the idiot 99% want to punch themselves in the face. In fact, I would go further and say nobody “owns” land; I grant for practical purposes there is a need for exclusive possession to the extent necessary to make productive use of it for the benefit of society as a whole, but that’s it. The world belongs to everyone equally, not to the descendants of the tyrants and criminals who usurped it.

I take it you’re opposed to the flood of third-world immigration to Europe and America and agree that it should be reversed?

Absolutely. But there is exception for people invited in. So illegals must go. But it is unjust to expel those invited, or forced over.

That said, I am all for making payments and giving one-way tickets for certain people to renounce their citizenship.

Incidentally, most of what is now South Africa was unpopulated when the white man came and made it productive.

Yes, this is common refrain of the invaders. Sorry, not biting. Just basic logic tells you there was no good land unoccupied in the 1700s in Africa. No doubt it was more sparsely populated than today, but so was Europe.

People the world round handed down their property to their family members since time inmemoriam

False. Are you utterly ignorant or purposefully spreading lies? Private property is at most a few thousands years old, when human history spans maybe 200,000 years. It developed when a few greedy thugs took something for themselves and killed those who challenged them. Over time they became the “kings” and “lords” of the world and enslaved everybody else (serfdom was, essentially, slavery). Even then it was not absolute, at any time one group of thugs (“kings”) could attack another group of thugs (“other kings”) and take their land and enslave their serfs. This is the “noble” (pun intended) history of private property to which you refer. But even during those periods there were many societies which did not succumb to the usurpers. See e.g. http://www.henrygeorge.org/pchp29.htm And even in recent years ideologies have emerged that would undo that travesty, such as communism. I am more for a middle ground, allow private property, have no income tax whatsoever (do not punish laborers), but put a heavy tax on inheritance.

it doesn’t even have a unique place in any economic system.

Perhaps you can prove me “wrong” with an exception but economic systems that have private property start out as (or, in case of US, end up as – there were special factors in the conquest of US land that allowed an initial wide distribution of property) centralized oligarchic systems that are not democratic, fair, or just. But murder is even more widespread in economic systems, I suppose you will sing the praises of murder next? Fact is there hasn’t been, and currently isn’t, anything close to a “just” economic system. Even in the “shining light” of the US, .1% of the people, most of whom have done nothing with their lives, own 99% of the wealth. I am ready for revolution. Just tell me the time and place. This evil system must end. And if Communism is the only alternative, I will not support it, but Communism it will be. The current unjust system simply cannot last. (And Trump the oligarch reducing inheritance tax – fuck that Orangutan.)

In other words, either there will be a just distribution of wealth in society, or a new group of “kings” (thugs) will destroy the current group of “other kings” (thugs) and take what was their’s. Usually this is accomplished by promising a significant portion of the “spoils” to the commoners (no sweat off their back, right?).

I don’t think you understand what is meant by meek.

“Meekness is humility toward God and toward others. It is having the right or the power to do something but refraining for the benefit of someone else. ” The oligarchs are selfish cold mass-murderers and oppressors in this world. Thugs. They are the opposite of meek. They are the spawn of Satan. Including Oprah and uber-hypocrite Buffet. By their selfish acts they have chosen sides.

I wouldn’t waste my time trying to read Marx.

I do recall getting hold of Mein Kampf when I was in my 20′s. Not because I like Hitler or am a Nazi yada yada, but was hoping to be profoundly shocked by what I assumed would be political porn.

Result? Boooorrriiinggg!! I doubt I read as much as a fifth of it before taking it back to the library.

Sorry, I don’t agree.

Apartheid (or separate development) had existed in South Africa long before it was given a formal name in 1948.

The basic idea behind it was to uplift all the different races in SA – there being officially 4 different ethnic groups in the country, which could be further subdivided tribally and linguistically, at each racial groups state of development.

A major project of the Apartheid government was to allocate traditional tribal land to the various Black tribes so they could have self-governence, but with SA state support.

This is essentially the same as the 2 small African states surrounded by SA (Lesotho and Swaziland) which were granted independence by Britain. Unfortunately, the Homelands (as they were designated) were not particularly contiguous, and therefore lacked credibility.

There is no question that the Blacks in South Africa benefitted under White rule, despite certainly being oppressed.

Longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality, generally lower crime rates than what exists today, food security, good rates of literacy and a higher per capita income than pretty much anywhere else in Africa. A hefty chunk of White taxpayers money went towards school education for all the non-white races in South Africa. Their education was not at the same level of financing as White education, to be sure, but then Whites paid at least two thirds of the country’s taxes.

With regards to your views that all people in a country should be treated exactly the same, and that this is consistent with Christianity, I’m not sure that is really the case. In scripture, both slave and free are certainly equal before God, but obviously not in the societies in which they lived.

Equality amongst all people is a good ideal, and I do in fact hold to it, but it’s really a post WW2 ideal in terms of human history, certainly as far as the West is concerned. And how is it working out for the West? Not looking too good.

There is the kingdom of God and there is the kingdom of man, the church and the state. The church should be run as a church, and not a state. And the state as a state, and not a church. They overlap but have different functions. Many Christians seem to feel that the state should be run like a big church, but I don’t agree, and the gospel message hardly concerns itself with how the state should be run. It was delivered during the Roman Empire after all.

Just for the record: since the end of White rule in SA the laws of the country have become increasingly unChristian. Indeed, SA is a unique welding together of the worst of African culture (incompetence and rampant corruption) and the worst of Western culture (gay marriage, abortion on demand, a ban on any kind of corporal punishment).

However dastardly the former White rulers of SA were, the current Black rulers are simply a kleptocracy – hence talk of land expropriation without compensation.

Indeed. Zimbabwe used to be a net food exporter, now a net food importer.

South Africa’s agricultural industry is much bigger than Zimbabwe’s – so any large scale expropriation will be a much bigger stuff-up than what is happening there.

It’s a bit heartless for some people commenting here to wish food shortages, skyrocketing food prices – and possibly starvation – on the Black South African masses. Not to mention the Whites, the several million mixed-race people and 1.5 million Asians.

One can’t be a Christian and not wholly accept the Old Testament in the same manner one accepts the New Testament. The early Christians only had the Old Testament.

Marx hated God and wanted to dethrone Him. I’m not interested in reading anything he wrote, seeing as he was a servant of the father of lies.

Communism is in many ways a counterfeit of Christianity – except that it forcibly takes your goods as opposed to encouraging your generosity with what is actually yours.

a genocide is taking place in south africa ,even the children as old as 4 years old rapped and burned alive,and nobody cares no a single web pubshised the atrocities that are happening right now.
The sad true is that african, african american and other minorities not only they are happy with the land expropiation but they want europeans to be there to not abandon south africa and dont let them emigrate to europe or usa ,they want to stay in south africa and slowly kill them all without any escapatory.Read the coment in where the petition for let them return to europe or america and you will see that want all european dead
if they have the power the same thing would happen in any western nation.
When we will say enouth is enought there is no justice behind this we need to organize and fight for our interest like all the people do,we are not the bad guys we are fighting for our survival

Keep always in mind that in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, most of Africa was unexplored.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/stanley-meets-livingstone-91118102/

Not only unexplored, much of it was virtually uninhabited, except by wild animals. Hence it actually was a paradise of sorts. And incidentally, this is why so many early explorers lived to tell the tale, whereas they’d now be brought down by endemic diseases in this hideously overpopulated continent, in the absence of advanced (white) medicine.

Wakanda IS South Africa

Not so fast. South Africa still has four million white people whose hard work daily holds the economy together. If you want to see the real Wakanda, you’re better off looking at Burkina Faso, Niger, Burundi and Zimbabwe.

Notice that the western “MSM” remains steadfastly silent on these horrors.

All about ‘who; whom’ as another contributor on this site says.

Leaving aside your many psychotic fantasies about white people, the simple fact is that you third-world people can’t get enough of us and refuse to leave us alone. There’s nothing we’d like better than for you to stay in your own parts of the world but you refuse. What’s to be done about that?

Neither you nor I had anything to do with what happened 100 years ago in some faraway place. All we have is the reality of here and now. And that reality is that you and yours are trying to wreck every single thing that’s good about the few remaining civilized countries on the planet. What’s to be done about that?

And yet all you third-world people will stop at nothing to flood by the tens of millions into white nations and wreck them the way you’ve wrecked your own countries. Physician, heal thyself.

As you can see from many of the responses here, a lot of people believe that Wakanda is documentary material, not ludicrous fantasy. Who needs facts? They just get in the way.

could have worked had whites been more generous (whites,with 20% of the population, claimed 80% of the land)

The fact is that the natives were more interested in the various goodies provided by the European invaders than they were in this land of which you write. Keep always in mind that in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, most of Africa was unexplored.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/stanley-meets-livingstone-91118102/

So the natives were drawn to such amazing witch doctery as clean water, abundant food, the wheel, infants that live, inviting the neighbors for dinner with no intention to eat them, clothing, music that didn’t involve logs, etc. Look at any remote African village today or better still at one of the uncontacted Amazonian tribes or the Andaman Islanders – imagine going from that to today in just a few generations. Population numbers skyrocketed. Look at native population growth vs time vs proximity to Europeans and contrast to yet uncontacted regions’ numbers in Malthusian state.

We are today just a hundred years on from that age of exploration. Forklifting Stone Age People directly into the Industrial Age and then on to the Information Age in a century is almost unimaginable and it’s indeed proving to be impossible.

Is there any nation ruled by whites that fares well?

PS: You are a bozo.

What you call the “WASP Empire” is not ruled by WASPs and hasn’t been for generations. This goes double when it comes to foreign policy.

Where they don’t belong? So I take it you’re opposed to the flood of third-world immigration to Europe and America and agree that it should be reversed? Incidentally, most of what is now South Africa was unpopulated when the white man came and made it productive.

Absolute nonsense. People the world round handed down their property to their family members since time inmemoriam — there’s not a single thing wrong with the practice. it doesn’t even have a unique place in any economic system.

Suppose my sister inherits all of my father’s goods — she may not deserve, but those are my father’s goods to hand to whom ever he chooses. I think you are simply advancing the press as contentiousness, not as any sincere advance that impacts any economy or social fare. And people have every right to contest inheritances, given that some people operate dishonestly, but minus that – it’s a private matter.

Now, if you want to discuss power inheritance as in the concept of divine or social right — that is a completely different issue.

I don’t think you understand what is meant by meek.

There is a wide breadth of comments on this issue. Allow me to be clear:

1. i don’t agree with rev Farrakahn about Jews as a general state of being.

2. your comments suggests that if i beat my dog five times less than i beat my neighbors, it’s ok to beat
my dog — mind you human beings aren’t dogs.

3. the very nature of apartheid means no one claiming Christ can engage in it with a clear conscience.
offering up that its crumbs were beneficial misses the point of what Christ meant when he made the
reference.

4. most are better off in the US than most around the globe — that does not by definition suggest
that violating my person or my rights is acceptable.

Your argument is that my trouncing you is ok because , others are trounced worse. i am not inclined to accept that as standard –

What difference does a Constitution -of any kind- make when 75% of the people can’t read anyway?

Wakanda IS South Africa

#blaxit

Quite consistently, you disparage this site’s most incisive and insightful contributors. I daresay most here are past wondering about your own motives.

The one and the only cure for this intensifying nightmare can be described in a single word: Separation.

It’s the only thing that will work, unless you believe that genocide is a solution to anything (as some appear to believe, sadly). It’s also the only solution that will work in Europe and America, though our Fearless Leaders are driving us hell-bent in the other direction. People who deny history, coincidentally enough, fail to understand how nations came about in the first place, and what purpose they have always served.

Separation or Genocide. What’s your choice?

>>Have you ever read Marx? What is Marxist theory to you?

Has ANYBODY ever read Das Kapital all the way through? Sorry, the man could have used an editor. I am certain that their are useful insights, even truths in Marx’s work. But how many normally intelligent readers have the stamina to get through the tome?

You have a bizarre obsession with “inheritance” which I don’t find with anyone else on Unz Review.

Actually, if I did have an obsession, it’s a bid odd, given my 294 or so comments prior to today, today is the first time I recall making one on it.

Inheritance is a profoundly righteous economic model, enshrined in scripture

The New Testament mainly speaks of inheriting the Kingdom of God and the like. A few references to inheriting simple possessions (tools, etc.). Can you please provide the citations that “enshrine” the inheritance of large swaths of land, to the exclusion of all others from that land? (No need to quote from the Old (Jew) Testament, that is the word of Satan.)

Communism is of the Devil – the father of lies.

Well never mind then, you obviously don’t know the first thing about scripture. But, the one aspect of Communism about which there is some pertinence, is it’s anti-religious fervor. Being against inheritance (of capital, wealth and power), does not mean one is anti-religious. Indeed under your zealous reason Jesus himself was a “Communist” and hence “the Devil”, as he favored sharing all wealth among all people. He certainly did not countenance greed or inherited power or a monopoly on nature. Why should one man inherit a beautiful beach when it belongs to all humanity? What would Jesus say? (Please provide references to scripture to support your claim.)

If you subscribe to Marxist theory, that is up to you.

Have you ever read Marx? What is Marxist theory to you? What about the labor theory of value? Or the tendency to monopolization? Or the concept of surplus labor? Or other economic theories Marx wrote about? Is that all “false” because “Marx” wrote it? LOL.

Why that depends entirely on the error.

People are driven to utilize and improve resources that they own.

Really? Under your theory of human nature why would Zuckerberg or Buffet do anything? They have more money they or their progeny can ever spend. Even though in both cases they have contributed nothing extraordinary to society. One could go through the list. The real contributors to humanity are not the ones that have all the money or property – the latter are just the parasitic class. Granted a farmer is in most cases not in the same league as Zuckerberg or Buffet, but I’m sure people would keep farming the fields even if they didn’t own them, just to get the profits of the harvest. In any case, a 90% tax would still leave 10% to the hand of the gifter.

Consider that private ownership of resources can avoid the tragedy of the commons.

Emphasis on may. In most cases, actually, private ownership of resources encourages overconsumption every bit as much as communal ownership. But I am not arguing against private ownership of property – I believe in that. I just don’t believe in inheritance. It should be taxed at a special high rate.

inheritance make a person, as they near their death, want to continue to improve their resources so that they can pass them to their offspring, rather than squander them.

I don’t see any evidence of that. Most workers, e.g., do not own their business, yet they do not “squander” it. I know, the elite selfish fucks always threaten, if you don’t allows us to rule the world forever, we will fuck it up! There is a better way to deal with terrorists than to appease them. Anyway you can pretty much destroy that argument by allowing some limited inheritance, say 5-10%.

If you make an error in farming you have to wait one year to correct it.

I believe the sensible thing, especially for America, is to take this opportunity to repatriate all of Africa’s stolen children we still hold hostage here. Let’s send home, with reparations, our brilliant black scientists, lawyers, doctors, and engineers so that together with Africans, they can build Wakanda atop the ashes of Apartheid.

Oh sure, America will suffer, perhaps catastrophically, from the enormous talent drain of losing its brightest and best, but somehow Detroit, Baltimore, Newark, Chicago, and the rest will have to forge on without them to build it all for us. But justice requires that we at last do the right thing and now appears to be the right time.

Wakanda_Is_Real.

#blaxit

True. This is what happens to gullible people like those in Rhodesia who attempted to placate Marxist agitators by “doing the right thing”.

During apartheid there was net in-migration of blacks from other African countries. Of course, whites could have given more to blacks, but blacks in South Africa were generally better off than their neighbors and possibly better off than people living in the Soviet Union.

In Zimbabwe, average living standards are less than half of what they were at their peak. We will see what happens in South Africa.

Time will tell. Good Jews eventually become non-Jews or ex-Jews like Gilad Atzmon. All the rest play social and political games at various levels of proficiency, with some being more sincere and convincing than others.

Apartheid was a “federal” system, and could have worked had whites been more generous (whites,with 20% of the population, claimed 80% of the land). At the very least, whites should have supported the partition of South Africa and claimed the Western Cape as an independent white nation. But they wanted to hang onto Johannesburg, where all of the money was. Bad mistake.

African states in general would benefit from the example of Switzerland: division into small ethnically homogeneous cantons, with most government functions controlled at the canton level.

Are you related to Sum Ting?

Constitutions are good only if and when governments choose to obey them which is virtually never. The US Constitution is a prime example of a finely worded document that, since 1865 (and long before) has been totally ignored by the Washington establishment. As to white farmers in South Africa, you can forget about a constitution offering any hope.

There are some downsides to inheritance, for sure. But consider one positive aspect of it: People are driven to utilize and improve resources that they own. Consider that private ownership of resources can avoid the tragedy of the commons. So to, then, might inheritance make a person, as they near their death, want to continue to improve their resources so that they can pass them to their offspring, rather than squander them.

You have a bizarre obsession with “inheritance” which I don’t find with anyone else on Unz Review. At least, not that I’m aware of.

Inheritance is a profoundly righteous economic model, enshrined in scripture. Communism is of the Devil – the father of lies.

If you subscribe to Marxist theory, that is up to you. I’m a total anti-Marxist. That includes Cultural Marxism.

Ilana is not a good Jew. She’s a degenerate who gets a kick out writing stuff the goyim fall for. I judge by actions, not by written words. It doesn’t matter what Jews think because they are not a part of the West.

One reasonable proxy for “faring well” is that people want to move to your country. People want to move to Western nations. Another reasonable criterion is “could defend itself from aggression.”

Let’s make this clear — are you suggesting that there are black-ruled nations that have performed as well as white-ruled ones, in whichever criteria you deem the most reasonable way to measure a nation?

As for plundering, etc, consider the possibility that exploitation results from power imbalance, and that it does not cause it. I’m not aware of African nations being particularly peaceful, and they likely exploited and plundered the neighbors that they could. They could not do that to Western nations, however.

Victims are often restrained, harmed with weapons such as machetes and pitchforks, burned with boiling water or hot irons, dragged behind vehicles and shot. Female victims are often raped during attacks.

We’ve seen this movie before. Literally, the 1960’s Africa Addio displayed in full cinematic color what it looks like when the natives take full control. The outcome is always the same.

The more interesting question from a historical perspective is how the Chinese colonization project will fare. There are some videos out showing the “challenges” the Chinese face as well as their contempt for the natives. In SA remember there is/was a significant “colored” class between the whites and natives that doesn’t exist in the Chinese versions.

Whites segregate, blacks slaughter.

I hope that you don’t mean Those Who Cannot Be Named. And the Chinese and Indians (dot, not feather) scattered all over the world.

But there is very much an angle here: the more far-sighted nose suddenly understands colored see it as white as well, with predictable results. Hence all the hand wringing.

I sometimes wonder if (((their))) genome might have a suicidality gene that pops up with devastating regularity. It’s a very old and very consistent story through their entire history. Always pissing somebody off and getting their asses thrown out of this place and that. And this despite the fact that they could just blend in and disappear any time they so chose. Just in our era, they’ve done some stupendously and cataclysmicly self defeating things. Marxism has been a bad deal that will get much worse – the canonization of envy never ends well for a visible and highly successful group. Zionism will be existentially catastrophic – what idiot chooses the exact spot where every Christian and every Muslim looks forward to Apocalypse, and where one group thinks their God may forgive them (after annihilating them) the other thinks their God will just slaughter them (or they’ll do it for him). Immigration and SJWism have brought their dual whammy of importing an even higher IQ population with automatic Affirmative Action points (East Asians & high-caste Indians) plus hatred of whites when Jews are themselves squarely in the crosshairs – extra white even.

I disagree, inheritance is incredibly evil and unjust, on the same level as slavery. Before slavery was abolished, it was also “a time honored practice spanning cultures around the globe”.

The only societies which permitted inheritance were the ones where the powerful declared property to be their own (i.e. monopolized land) and then, further expanding their power, passed the fruits of their theft on to their children. Anyone who objected was killed or otherwise punished. If this is some “time honored practice”, so be it, I find it utterly repulsive, criminal, and against “natural law” (by the way there are many so-called “time honored practices” in which humans no longer engage).

Inheritance is simply the powerful stomping on the powerless, and yes, that has happened throughout history and is “time honored” – but some day, as Christ proclaimed, “the meek shall inherit the Earth”!

You clearly haven’t the faintest clue about Black African tribal dynamics, especially in the past, to question the right of tribal chiefs to sell or give away property, of whatever nature, in their domain.

You are correct, I have not studied the Black African tribal dynamics of each tribe with which the Boers interacted. Have you? How do we know which tribe had the right to sell the land? Was it a matter of which was the most powerful tribe that could knock the others off the spot, as is typically the case (even today, with nations)? In that case, even assuming the “governing documents” of the tribe authorized the ownership of land (did it? were there land registries before the Boers arrived?), did that particular tribal chief have the right to sell that land to foreigners? And did his “deed” only cover the period for so long as that chief ruled (or the tribe ruled the area), or was it really “forever”? Do you have any legal opinions documenting these transfers of land? What was the compensation paid? Was there any duress, fraud or coercion in the exchange?

In the end to me none of it matters because inheritance is a vile evil that needs to be exterminated. Like I wrote earlier, I wish S. Africa would just take the land through progressive property taxes and suitable inheritance taxes (say, 90% or so), I think taking it outright is not fair, but then again, inheritance itself is utterly unfair, even more unfair than the “land theft” of which you complain.

But let me make a prediction for you: if there is widespread redistribution of commercial farmland in South Africa, from people with skills, acquired over generations in many instances, to a random group of people from whatever background – the greatest likelihood is overwhelming failure.

It’s a quite foreseeable outcome, and in that situation, as I wrote previously, I don’t think anybody should step in to help. Make your own bed and sleep in it. In my view the solution is the taxes plus paying the white farmers a good sum to teach their successors how to farm the land – i.e. to retain them as managers or consultants, but not as “owners”. It’s only rational. But if the people want to jump off the cliff that’s their business, just don’t ask me to help clean up the bloody mess.

Certainly, there would have been no going forward if private property rights were to be infringed.

Inheritance is not a private property “right”, it is an abomination, and the sooner this terrible abomination is destroyed, the better. (Note I am not talking about some reasonable home, to which everyone should be entitled, and if it comes from their parents and is one they grew up in so much the better, or heirlooms and the like.)

That’s actually the most appealing aspect of communism, get rid of inherited wealth/power/control.

The practice of inheritance is not unnatural, untoward, evil, unprecedented or unique to any culture. Passing to one’s ancestry or as per the giver’s demand is a time honored practice spanning cultures around the globe.

CORRECTION:

The Bantus (Zulu, Xhosa etc.) had earlier seized substantial numbers OF KHOI-SAN WOMEN in South-Eastern Africa. This is how their languages picked up “click sounds” not found in Bantu languages farther North.

You clearly haven’t the faintest clue about Black African tribal dynamics, especially in the past, to question the right of tribal chiefs to sell or give away property, of whatever nature, in their domain.

But let me make a prediction for you: if there is widespread redistribution of commercial farmland in South Africa, from people with skills, acquired over generations in many instances, to a random group of people from whatever background – the greatest likelihood is overwhelming failure.

And my above prediction is based on sound criteria, not a thumb-suck. More than 90% of commercial farmland that has so far been redistributed in SA has been a proven failure.

Apart from which, did you not read my previous comment? The Blacks did not win power in SA via armed struggle or revolution – their military endeavors were truly feeble – but through a process of negotiation lasting approximately 4 years. Neither were the Black liberation groups arguing from a position of strength.

Essentially, the White population ceded the right to keep the franchise to themselves, and make it universal for all the people of the country. Certainly, there would have been no going forward if private property rights were to be infringed.

‘Bury them alive!’: White South Africans fear for their future as horrific farm attacks escalate
…………………………
According to the TAU, last year there were 345 attacks resulting in 70 deaths — the highest death toll since 2008. In 2015 there were 318 attacks resulting in 64 deaths, and the year before there were 277 attacks resulting in 67 deaths.

In total, between 1998 and the end of 2016, 1848 people have been murdered in farm attacks — 1187 farmers, 490 family members, 147 farm employees, and 24 people who happened to be visiting the farm at the time.

While South Africa has one of the highest rates of violent crime anywhere in the world, the attacks on white farmers are no ordinary crimes.

In a 2014 report, “The Reality of Farm Tortures in South Africa”, AfriForum wrote that “the horror experienced during farm tortures is almost incomprehensible”.

“The well-known ‘blood sisters’ from the South African company Crimescene-cleanup have rightly indicated that, in their experience, farm tortures are by far the most horrific acts of violence in South Africa,” the report said.

“They are of the opinion that the term ‘farm murders’ is misleading and that the terms ‘farm terror’ and ‘farm tortures’ are more suitable.”

While sometimes farmers and their families are tortured to obtain information, such as the whereabouts of keys to the safe, human rights groups say the excessive brutality may be intended to send a message to the general farming community — get out of our country.

Victims are often restrained, harmed with weapons such as machetes and pitchforks, burned with boiling water or hot irons, dragged behind vehicles and shot. Female victims are often raped during attacks.

i cannot make claim that the references concerning human behavior are unique to whites.

History world wide is replete with these human behaviors, regardless of color. The issues I am referencing here are:

1. to apartheid and the participation of christians in that process.

2. to the failure of whites to incorporate the larger population into the societies they built as opposed using the majority as mere tools for their desires and the subsequent maltreatment of the same. And the resulting consequence.

The deeper history of South Africa:

There are TWO MAIN RACIAL GROUPS in the world: the KHOI-SAN and EVERYONE ELSE – regular “Africans” (other than pygmies and “bushmen”), all Europeans and Asians (possibly excepting “Negritos”).

Until about 500 years ago, the Western portion of Southern Africa was mainly inhabited by Khoi-San. No Bantus, no Whites.

Then the Whites moved in. The Bantus also moved in from the East, but did not settle South of the Fish River until long AFTER the Whites. Earlier, the Bantus (Zulu, Xhosa etc.) had seized substantial numbers in South-Eastern Africa. This is how their language picked up click sounds not found farther North.

Together, Whites and Bantus largely displaced and annihilated the native Khoi-San. In the later 20th century, White rule gave way to Xhosa/Zulu supremacy.

I have sidestep this issue. It is totally unfamiliar to me.
