I think an important component here that is very well documented, it's not a secret, but a lot of people don't seem to want to know this or recognize this, is the very strong alliance that the ANC has always had and still has with the South African Communist Party and the extent to which they were supported, not just by the Soviet Union, also by the Vietnamese and by Mao Tse-Tung as well.
implementing what they call the people's war strategy that they got from Mao Tse Tung. So yes, it was very much the ANC saw themselves as being the African or South African frontier of promoting a socialist or communist revolution.
Well, the reality is that virtually every sphere of society is collapsing with the exception of taxation, of course, and tax collection. That's still very, very efficient. Maybe I can explain it this way. So America has a somewhat skewed tax system with, if my information is correct, about 85% of tax, income tax in America is paid by about 10% of the people. I think that's correct. So one in 10.
In South Africa, 85% of income tax is paid by one in 30 people. So it's a very small number of people, a very small portion of society that pays tax, that is heavily taxed. And then about almost half of the population in South Africa get money from the government in the form of social grants.
If you add government employees, conservative estimates say that 50% of people in South Africa get money from the government. Some estimates say it's up to 60% of adults, voting age adults, get money from the government each year. So then... This money, of course, is then used. It's given out as social grants.
But what's left is used to set up these programs that are actively discriminating against taxpayers. I mean, there are so many examples. One of the most recent ones is this Blacks Only Fund that the government has set up whereby they give money to black entrepreneurs exclusively. So this is happening.
And then on top of that, so after you spend your tax money to fund these government programs that are discriminating against you, You have to spend what is left to do the things that the government was supposed to be doing. So the classical definition of a government is that it should protect life, liberty, and property.
The classical liberal view, we're a bit Ciceronian, so we think a government has to do more than that. But if we use those three things, the government's not protecting our lives. There's about, if this interview that we're about to have is two hours, there will be about seven murders in South Africa in this time. Government does not protect liberty.
It's actively targeting schools of minority communities, actively denying the identity and the rights of minority communities. And it's certainly not protecting property. It's actively involved with the program to empower the government to expropriate private property without compensation.
So, and then we have to use the money that is left to pay for our own private security, to become involved with organizations, to fulfill the things that the government was supposed to be doing with the tax money that we paid in the first place.
No, that's absolutely the case. So there's a theory, there was this video that just went viral on social media of this guy talking about how white people are subhuman and all of that. And they get, well, this is taught at universities in South Africa. There's a theory called Azania critical theory. Azania is a pan-African word for South Africa.
And they actually get this from Americans like Robin DiAngelo, who's this Ibrahim X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, these people. They get it from them. And then they put an African flavor on it, which essentially boils down to a theory that justifies the targeting and extermination of the white minority. And so the theory, to summarize, goes more or less like this.
There's an African term called Ubuntu, which means brotherliness or it's about your internal humanity. It's a Zulu term. And the theory goes that white people are incapable of having Ubuntu. But Ubuntu is the essence of humanity. So if you don't have it, you're not truly human. So it boils down that the logical conclusion is that if you kill a white person, then you did not actually commit murder.
So this is not widely believed in South Africa, but this is taught at universities by university professors, and it's certainly believed by radical elements. It's a predicate for genocide.
Yeah, well, we've always been saying that there's not a genocide in South Africa, looking at what happened in Rwanda and so forth. It's not the same thing. But it is very alarming to look at some of these claims that are being made and to compare that to what was made in Rwanda.
Yeah, and we have these political parties chanting, I mean, you've seen this, you've reported on this, chanting, kill the boer, kill the farmer to a stadium filled with people. And it's not just rhetoric. So they would say, no, it's just a metaphor.
But it's preceded by a speech about how white people are criminals and should be treated like criminals, how everything they have is illegitimate and stolen, in which people are encouraged to go and invade their farms and so forth. And then they chant, kill the boer, kill the farmer, and they make these hand gestures. Of course, the boer is a reference to the Afrikaner people.
But the reality is also that the farmers are being attacked and killed on their farms. So it's not just a metaphor. And our attempts at researching this has found that there's an increase in farm attacks, obviously, when the political climate becomes heated or warmer. And these type of statements are made in a way that's highly publicized.
You do get an increase in farm attacks, and it's very brutal and very horrific farm attacks that we see. So the farm attacks are attacks against white farmers, not against… Not exclusively white farmers, but it's attacks against farmers in South Africa, of which the majority is white.
Yeah, well... I can tell you so many stories about this. For example, I was on your show a few years ago to talk about the farm murders and the extent to which we were attacked by American media as a result of that. I had someone from CNN come see me in my office in Pretoria. and to interview me about farm attacks. And the entire interview was about you.
