An old communist is like an old spinster: Not loved by anyone and now bitter and twisted. Wake up and smell the roses, Phillip. Communism was, in most countries, an undemocratic dictatorship and failed world wide. It died in Russia and it is now dead here (thank goodness). Time to move on, forget Nzimande and forget the SACP - they were never in a position to save this country, not then and not now. There is a more important issue at stake - how to take back our country from the corrupt kleptomaniacs who are intent on ruining it.
