Nelson Mandela and historical revisionism.

[I and I]

Hi I and I,

I think what people are trying to say is that we don't necessarily think you are wrong it's just that we don't like you.

:P

Not me.

I'll admit, I think he's probably wrong, but I'm more than willing to hear him out. The worst that will happen is I'll find out he's crazy. Best case scenario, I learn something.

The ANC which Mandela was a member and face of was never a non violent organization. The ANC rightly so used violence to defend their people from brutal capitalist racist apartheid system. The capitalist state ran media doesn't want their wage slaves to see that violence against their oppressors would work in liberating them, therefore we have the famous historical revisionist capitalist propaganda known as "non violent resistance".

That's a valid question. Might also ask how we quantify what is and isn't a capitalist nation. I mean, the only non-capitalist nation in recent history has been the USSR and Joe Stalin made damn sure they qualify as violent and oppressive.

Aftar that, we have third world nations who are too poor to be players on the global market scale. I'd be more than willing to bet the people there are killing each other an aweful lot when they get the chance, but they just don't have the power to make a big name of themselves with it. And even then, you depending on how you qualify "capitalist," those places would qualify as capitalist, anyway.

Millions of people die every year as a direct result of the capitalist economic system.
