Marxism masquerading as freedom

The Prisoners of a Dream---The South African Mirage by Leo Raditsa spelled out accurately the South African situation long before the end of apartheid in the mid 90s. Americans to this day have not been told the actual situation in South Africa, now or in the past.If Americans don't understand the influence of African tribalism they can't possibly know about South Africa. If Americans do not know the influence and the takeover of communism/socialism, the role of the South African Communist Party, the African National Congress, in South Africa, they can't understand the political events in South Africa. If Americans don't know about Mandela's writings found in Madela's hand extolling the virtues of communism, detailing plans for terrorism, explosives, and sabotage (p. 144)they can never understand what Mandela really represents. He represents government terror, comnfiscation of wealth, loss of freedom for all, and the usual murderous history of 20th century communism. Its now called freedom!!!Raditsa documented it all in crushing detail in a regrettably tedious writing style. Short of a confirmatory trip to South Africa (which I have taken) this is an excellent, thorough, essential, and heavily referenced source of the true situation there. Even better, Raditsa documented in Chapter 5 most of the Jeremiah Denton Senate Hearings in 1982 describing "The Role of the Soviet Union, Cuba, and East Germany in Fomenting Terrorism in Southern Africa". Neither Raditsa's book nor the Denton Hearings have been covered to any degree since the hearings in 1982 or when Raditsa's book was published in 1989. The South African debate was a onesided debate supporting the communist takeover of South Africa.
