Nelson Mandela, Communist

Tags: South Africa,
Bill Keller reflects on Mandela's contacts with and one time participation in the Communist party. At the time the communists were the only organization with whites supporting the ANC, as the ANC was completely black. The result in shaping Mandela's thinking were positive in his views for a multiracial South Africa. Communist type liberation ideology has also hadicapped African countries including the ANC party in that it has failed to bring in new thinking and different views. Keller brings special insights into this behaviour as he covered both the Soviet Union 1986-1991, and South Africa 1992-1995, for the NYT.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
