It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Seriously. Reading this shit has me almost in tears. This is not the future we fought for. People should not live like this.

Why are there still rich white South Africans in the first place? ANC/MK should have given them the wall decades ago.

Well they kind of had a monopoly on everything and compromises were made to ensure a peaceful transition of power in a post USSR neoliberal "end of history" world.

Then Mandela's successors got greedy and really screwed up. Ramaphosa (the current president) was supposed to replace Mandela but decided to abandon revolutionary politics, become a capitalist and own McDonalds and the mines instead. This allowed Mbeki, an neoliberal Oxford economics educated guy, to take hold of the ANC, implement austerity measures to make line go up, which messed everything up. Zuma then followed, a corrupt money hungry politician.

This just sounds like more evidence that the first thing a revolutionary needs to do with power is a purge.

If I remember correctly, wealth disparity between white and black South Africans is actually worse today than during apartheid.
