In 1954, the United States overthrew the democratically elected, socialist government of Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala🇬🇹. Árbenz had instituted land reforms that nationalised unused land, heavily impacting the American-owned United Fruit Company. In 1964, the United States backed a military coup that ousted democratic social-democrat President João Goulart in Brazil🇧🇷 in 1964. Goulart had proposed progressive tax and land reforms, which Washington feared would lead to a “second Cuba”. In 1965, the US and UK actively supported the anti-communist military faction in Indonesia🇮🇩 as they marginalised the socialist President Sukarno. The transition was accompanied by the mass slaughter of 1 million members of the Indonesian Communist Party, utilising intelligence lists provided by US officials. Before Guyana🇬🇾 gained independence in 1966, the CIA and British intelligence covertly funded disruptive general strikes and destabilised the democratically elected, Marxist-oriented Premier Cheddi Jagan, successfully forcing him out of power before independence. In 1971, the US supported the military coup in Bolivia🇧🇴 to overthrow General Juan José Torres, a leftist leader who had nationalised American mining properties and established a “People's Assembly”. In Chile🇨🇱, Marxist President Salvador Allende was democratically elected. So, the Unites States actively worked to destabilise the Chilean economy. “Make the economy scream”, they said, before backing a 1973 violent military coup led by Augusto Pinochet, during which President Allende was killed. In 1983, the US launched a full-scale military invasion called Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada🇬🇩 in 1983 to depose the military council and halt Cuban influence on the island. There’s the 1953 coup in Iran🇮🇷. The 66-year long embargo on Cuba🇨🇺. The Cold War on the Soviet Union & the Eastern Bloc. The 76-year long sanctions on North Korea🇰🇵. The 1975 - 1994 embargo on Communist Vietnam🇻🇳. The funding of Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua🇳🇮 in 1985 - 1990. The sanctions on the Chávista government in Venezuela🇻🇪, culminating in the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro.

Prof William Gumede laments how the ANC shut down technical and vocational colleges. This is true, the ANC did do that. What Prof Gumede doesn’t say is that the ANC did all of that because of neoliberals like him who wanted a small government and for the markets to lead the economy. How else was the ANC going to implement GEAR and its fiscal discipline policies without cutting public spending somewhere? Decade after decade, the expert analysts insisted the government was broke demanded that it meet the deficit targets required by global financial markets. So the ANC had to streamline the public sector, and closing or merging vocational colleges was an easy way to slash the budget🤷🏾‍♂️ Then there was the part about “the knowledge economy” trend which pushed university education and “white-collar” services. Again, the idea was that the market, not state-run colleges, should dictate skills training. By the time the government realised that a developing economy cannot survive without large numbers of plumbers, teachers, nurses and welders, the infrastructure for training them had already been gutted. Many intellectuals and advisors who now cry wolf about the “skills gap” or the “failure of the state” were the same architects and cheerleaders of the policies that dismantled the state’s capacity to train artisans.

This is Phumlani Ndwandwe, and he is angry about something. First, Phumlani asks why he should have a problem with Afriforum building an Afrikaans-only university, because “we”, (which I presume is him and his mate “Eddie”) have many Black millionaires and billionaires. Phumlani’s reasoning is that it’s acceptable for Afriforum to practice segregation because his imaginary Black billionaires are wearing expensive clothes and getting girls in the township (which, judging by the tone of his voice, he seems to deeply resent). He says “we have Black millionaires and Black billionaires who could have done that sh*t”. Now, what sh*t is Phumlani talking about exactly? Building a racially segregated university when the Constitution is a clear that “The Republic of South Africa is one, sovereign, democratic state founded on the following values: ... (b) Non-racialism...”? Because the thing is that building a “Zulu-only” university, for instance, or anything of that sort in SA, is not something any billionaire with a functioning brain would entertain as it would be a sign of blatant rank hypocrisy after benefitting from the “Rainbow Nation”. Unless you’re Phumlani Ndwandwe. Still, Phumlani tries to hide his resentment of “billionaires” repeatedly bonking girls by saying they could have been preserving “our culture” instead. He is so passionate abouth this topic that it’s almost as if he doesn’t care about this culture stuff, he just doesn’t like how he has had to guard the gate while the “billionaires” pull all the girls at the University of Pretoria. He intimates as much. Phumlani continues to say Afriforum has the right to build a segregated institution if they want to preserve their culture. This is like saying the NP had a right to enact Apartheid if they wanted to preserve their culture, which is what they actually said, by the way. I suspect Phumlani doesn’t know *why* the Boers created an Apartheid state. Then, just as I thought he’s done venting, Phumlani unleashes his pièce de résistance: “There are more Black millionaires and billionaires than [those who are Boers]; there’s only few like at Stellenbosch”. This is not even worth addressing. Even Afriforum would cringe😬 listening to this. Next up, Phumlani let’s us in into how his “ancestor” fought alongside Boers to “remove” the British and that “amaBhunu fought among amaZulu to remove amaBritish”. Even “Eddie” hesitates a little as if he’s not sure where this is going— and he never finds out, because Phumlani, it appears, was just saying that for no reason at all. Instead of expanding on why exactly Boers and were fighting alongside amaZulu and how that worked out after the fighting stopped, Phumlani casually skips ahead to 1994. (After the fighting between the Boers and the British ended, they hugged it out and formed the Union of South Africa, which explicitly excluded and dispossessed virtually all the land from the very Black people who had fought in the war. This is likely why Phumlani fast-forwards his diatribe from 1901 to 1994) Channelling his inner chakra-hun, Phumlani argues that 1994 has proven how Black people are “villains” because the people building the Afrikaans-only university “have the same energy” as his (and Eddie’s) billionaires but they are “channelling it in a different way”. At this point, Phumlani goes back into how much he dislikes how Black billionaires are raiding universities and getting the girlies. He really hates this, and somehow I just know the first thing Phumlani will do when he becomes a millionaire🏃🏽‍♀️🍆🏃🏾‍♂️ Anyway, at the end of the video it is revealed that Phumlani is drinking Castle Lager, because of course he is.
