#6  No he is a "remade" commie. He and his pals went legit. Now they have a real country to run ruin and economy to worry about destroy. All the old commie thought was not a workable way to get and stay in power.

Shades of Rhodesia...Where are the Selous Scouts when you need them!

#5  Pure Red.

Mbeki was born in the Transkei region on June 18, 1942. His parents were teachers and members of the South African Communist Party, one of the leading anti-apartheid forces in South Africa. His father, Govan, was arrested with Mandela in 1964 for their political work.

Unlike Mandela and his generation of ANC leaders who were imprisoned, Mbeki is part of the generation of ANC leaders who spent the last decades of the apartheid era in exile. He began his tenure with the ANC Youth League at age 14. When the ANC was banned in 1962, Mbeki went into exile and continued his education. He received military training in Moscow and served as an ANC representative in several African countries before taking a place at the ANC headquarters in exile in Lusaka, Zambia.

#3  Actually, I'm not quite sure about the "neo-" part, either. It seems to me he is a hard-line communist from waaaay back, part of the original, post-colonialist bunch. Can someone clarify this for us?

#2  Your description was incomplete, Sock Puppet. It should be, "Mbeki is a racist neo-communist." And boy, is he ever!

#1  Nous permettent cela ! Certainement pas !

Mbeki is a neo-commuinist. He certainly would allow his buddy Aristide to get away with such nonsense. Look what he ignores right next door.
