Sorry, I didn't mean to offend but I've seen it in South Africa. I have lived through it all. The present ANC government was/is steeped in left wing socialism. Those who weren't in jail went to socialist universities in the UK or in USSR. Their "liberation struggle" was aided and abetted by the USSR. Their "socialist" credentials were impeccable. Even today they call each other "comrade". Their best friend is Fidel. What more can anyone say?

And what do we see --- they are the most avaricious capitalists and plunderers --- for themselves, that is. Today, ANC comrades are all directors of the biggest companies in SA and earning fat salaries etc. Further, every company in SA has to hand over at least 20% of its equity to an "empowerment partner" which is another word for a black, especially an ANC big-noise. Yes, they still pay lip-service to socialism and dish out the 'shpeel' all the time but, as far as the ANC is concerned, that's for others, not themselves.

Nothing comes cheap!
