South African Parliament Votes to Confiscate White-Owned Land Without Compensation

As reported in news.com.au, South Africa's Parliament have voted to "expropriate" land from white farmers with no compensation.

From TFA:

The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party
...
"The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice," Mr Malema was quoted by News24 as telling parliament. "We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land."
...
Mr Malema has been leading calls for land confiscation, forcing the ANC to follow suit out of fear of losing the support of poorer black voters. In 2016, he told supporters he was "not calling for the slaughter of white people‚ at least for now"

This policy has been tried in other African countries before, most recently Zimbabwe, with disastrous results. The farms appropriated usually fail rapidly, leading to food shortages and economic destruction. Will South Africa be able to avoid repeating history, or is it about to slide into 3rd World status?

    The correct lesson to take is never let anyone bullycide you. Because that is what happened here, the SJWs of the world bullied the South Africans into committing suicide to demonstrate the SJWs superior virtue. Note carefully how hard the same people who caused the problem are ignoring it.
    Being a worldwide pariah state would mean the South Africans would still have a future, even if a grim one. Instead genocide and being wiped from history is the lot for the whites and famine and a return to barbarism await the blacks.

    Pay careful attention America, listen closely when Progressives tell us we too must commit atone for the sin of existing by surrendering our country to the brown hordes they are importing. Believe them when the mask slips and we get headlines like the recent one expressing outrage that Trumps immigration proposals might push back their plan to replace the white majority by a few years, forcing them to wait longer to see us a powerless minority. Look at the numbers, none of the non-whites being imported even pretend to believe in "the American Way", which will become a forgotten phrase and set of ideas.

    BUILD THE WALL, DEPORT THEM ALL. Else South Africa's fate shall befall us. Let their deaths have some meaning.

    Then remove every single "Progressive" and SJW from any position of influence in politics, media, education and culture so we do not have to refight this battle over and over until they eventually destroy us. Don't be Conservative, win for a change!

    I see you have a Final Solution to the SJW problem.

    Won't work - ultimately it's always a competitive marketplace of ideas, and the only way to win is to have more compelling arguments for your ideas - not merely rely on them being "obviously right" or any such nonsense. Sure, the SJWs themselves aren't interested in listing to rational argument, but they're not the audience, everyone else is.

      No one is going to listen, if you use dogwhistles like SJW, and you think that somehow they are boats that are leaning in the water.

      listing:List
              A vessel's angle of lean or tilt to one side, in the direction called roll. Typically refers to a lean caused by flooding or improperly loaded or shifted cargo (as opposed to 'heeling', which see).

      Since it may be lefties you are attempting to slight with your pathetic attempts at literacy, no doubt they will list to port. The "obliviously right" obviously list to starboard.
