he went off on a mini-rant about South Africa and how they’re “a socialist country that shut down their police and now deal with mass rapes & crime
Ohhhh boy.
If your parents are ex South Africans, you’re fucked. No one else goes to South Africa as their go-to example of socialism.
The pitch I give for socialism is simple: political power gets used for people’s needs, not purely for what’s profitable. That means stripping capital of its political power, and removing the fake oppositional two party system that lets capital buy off parties. It doesn’t necessarily mean everyone being the same, at least not in the early stages, but it does mean capital has to adhere to the needs of the populace and directions of a party representative of the people.
If someone asks ‘well what happens if they fuck up or get corrupt’ the answer is ‘they get civil uprisings on their hands, which is the only thing that actually matters. Rioting, not voting, gave the USA the civil rights act.’

Anglos can sometimes be turned, but if they're spouting this then probably nah. Afrikaners are a lost cause from the start.
