Excellent point.
South Africa, under the new President whose name we don't care to learn how to spell, just passed a law allowing for the seizure of white land (about 72% of the land ownership in the country) without compensation.
That took 20 years. Still it was inevitable. This is what Mugabe did in Zimbabwe, as it happens 20 years after he took power. Via Steve Sailer, a man who is much smarter than we, here's the roundup:
SOUTH Africa’s parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country’s Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.
The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.
It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month.
And so South Africa goes the way of Congo, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Tanzania, Detroit....They will never learn. Afro-Nationalist tribalism can never trump laws of economics.
