Comments on: Supposing South African socialism? (I) http://hismastersvoice.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/supposing-south-african-socialism-i/ A monologue about South African politics Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:36:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: The Creator http://hismastersvoice.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/supposing-south-african-socialism-i/#comment-42 The Creator Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:26:36 +0000 http://hismastersvoice.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/supposing-south-african-socialism-i/#comment-42 Glad you asked, not that it is particularly relevant to the point. The ACDP was admittedly an unusual operation as it seems to have been set up by Military Intelligence (its original spokesperson, Johan van der Westhuizen, was exposed as a military intelligence operative working under the chief of Military Intelligence, which mysteriously did not disrupt his position in the party). So the vast amount of money handed over to the ACDP for its founding presumably came from apartheid slush funds. However, it must be admitted that the party is probably now much more dependent on religious maniacs and fascist lunatics than on organised racist militarists. So an improvement there. Feeling happier, Mr. Dicks? As you were an ACDP candidate, I can understand that you are embarrassed. The sensible thing to do is to leave the party and abjure your reactionary opinions.

This was, more or less, what happened with the African Christian Democratic Party" and others. You included the African Christian Democratic Party in this claim. What do you base your wild claims on?
