Today there was a protest in the middle of my suburb of 100k+ people, normal cars blocked the road off and set fire to the earth.

The police casually pulled up on either side of the protest allowing it to continue.

Not a single news article has been written.

Imagine I set fire to a road randomly , I would be in prison in 5min.

Once you have built this new community it will spawn new tyrants in its womb. And you are back to square one. There are two archetypes of the human soul - one that wants to rule and destroy and one that wants to be free to create beauty. Such is the yin-yang of human nature.

Liberalism has always thrived in the perception that there are too many people in the world. I always thought however that human fecundity was a very fragile thing. Now, as the little roller coaster train of humanity crests the top of the big dipper, and inches over the other side, we're going to find out exactly how fragile it is.

You don’t recognize the horrors religion has perpetrated when it had power.

Your whole article assumes the ANC is an ideological coherent organisation with a plan. It's not. It's a neo-patrimonial network. I do agree with you that liberalism has many fualts. But mostly not for the reasons you mention.
