[Marxism] Once again on the ANC betrayal of South Africa's poor.

[Tom Cod]

Ya know, if you said the policies of the ANC on this or that are a betrayal of the revolutionary struggle, 
that would be one thing, but to say that the dismantling of apartheid was a "betrayal" is breathtaking as that is 
something every ANC member and supporter can and should be rightfully proud of.
