South African Communist Party Admits Mandela's Leadership Role
The New American
08 December 2013
Shortly after the death of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela, the South African Communist Party and the African National Congress both released official statements acknowledging what was already well-known among experts: Comrade Mandela was indeed a Communist Party leader who served on the Soviet-backed organizations Central Committee. According to the Communist Party statement on Mandelas passing, not only was the confessed terror leader a senior official on the South African Communist Partys highest decision-making body, he was actually close to the outfit until his death.
Until last week, apologists for Mandela still claimed implausibly that his alleged alliance with international communism was mostly a marriage of convenience. Some of his more ardent or ignorant fans, relying on decades of lying denials from Mandela and others in the know about his membership in the party, even tried to claim that charges of communism were fabrications by Apartheid supporters, conspiracy theorists, and extremists. For now, the press outside of South Africa does not seem to have even noticed the earth-shattering news.
The controversial revolutionary figure, who admittedly oversaw a ruthless but largely forgotten campaign of terror against civilians that left women and children of all races dead, simply could not have really been a real, card-carrying communist or so his adoring fans wanted to believe, at least. The latest evidence, however, confirms otherwise, once again. Now, the truth is officially out, but whether it will be reported by the establishment press remains to be seen.
...
In the statement released on December 6 and published by assorted Marxist outfits, the South African Communist Party, or SACP, helped shed light on all of it. At his arrest in August 1962, Nelson Mandela was not only a member of the then underground South African Communist Party, but was also a member of our Partys Central Committee, the SACP said in the statement, illustrating once again the enormity of the long and successful track-record of communist deception.
As to why it was denied for so long, SACP deputy general secretary Solly Mapaila was quoted in South African news reports as saying it was for political reasons apparently people would have been upset to realize their hero and supposed liberator was, actually, a card-carrying communist. There was a huge offensive by the oppressive apartheid regime at the time against communists, Mapaila said, adding that all of the terrorists tried at Mandelas Rivonia Trial were Party members.
...
When Mandela was released from prison, Mapaila added, the mass-murdering regime ruling over what was then the Soviet Union was supposedly crumbling, and there was too much negativity around the Soviet system to tell South Africans the truth. He added: But we should not focus on that now, let us focus on resting the old man.
Unsurprisingly, the statement went on to praise Mandela and his African National Congress (ANC), where the South African revolutionary would go on to found the outfits armed wing. To us as South African communists, Comrade Mandela shall forever symbolise the monumental contribution of the SACP in our liberation struggle, the SACP said. The contribution of communists in the struggle to achieve the South African freedom has very few parallels in the history of our country.
Also admitted in the SACP statement are facts that his adoring fans the United Nations even designated a Nelson Mandela International Day, while Obama compared him to George Washington and ordered flags flown at half-mast will have even more trouble explaining away. After his release from prison in 1990, Comrade Madiba became a great and close friend of the communists till his last days, the South African Communist Party said.
Today, the common perception of the South African revolutionary, who regularly sang struggle songs advocating the mass-murder of whites, holds that he was a political prisoner. Left unmentioned in the SACP statement and the adoring obituaries, of course, was the fact that Mandela was repeatedly offered the opportunity to walk out of jail if he would just renounce violence, which he consistently refused to do. For the SACP and the international communist movement, he represented nothing less than a hero for his positions and activities.

The reality is that all of these kids were lucky because they escaped Mandela's abortion policy.
Yep, he was just as happy about exterminating the black race as Margaret Sanger.

I was scanning the radio dial a couple of days ago, and came across ultra-lefty Randi Rhodes playing clips of Ted Cruz pointing out that Mandela was a communist. Her reaction was simply to repeat, "Oh my god!" over and over again and call him a bigot.
Not once did she actually deny that he was a commie...

That’s how the Left argues, they ridicule, but they NEVER offer up any facts to counter the charges.
