I would highly recommend that you read talks and articles written by Ezra Taft Benson who was a living prophet of the Lord of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was also the Minister of Agriculture during Eisenhower's presidency. He wrote a book called, Eight Years With Eisenhower; a very insightful book. Elder Benson was a staunch advocate for safeguarding the liberty and freedom of America.

Here is just one of his many talks:

Thank you for taking the time to do the research about Rhodesia; a beautiful country besides the political shenanigans. I was born in Zambia when it was going through political change, moved to Rhodesia and I grew up there during the Bush War; we Rhodies are a unique and special bunch 😊 I also lived in South Africa during the late '80's; all the political upheaval and tribal conflicts. There is a lot to gleen from the events that have taken place in both places that Americans could learn from. Keep up the good work 👍

Prescient analysis of the linkage between Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and America. The ideology that was enforced on Rhodesia, and destroyed it, is now metastasizing across the West. Black Supremacism, rooted in Africanism, is one of the foundations of the economic plundering of the white populations of Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Marxist ideology of the so-called 'liberation' movements has been superseded by an Americanized gangster culture focused on the luxury status symbols of the black elite such as expensive cars. The gangster state-capture economies of Zimbabwe and South Africa are not really 'communist' especially as the black elites care little for the mass of workers. In Zimbabwe the trade unions from which opposition parties have drawn support have been supressed. These regimes are therefore more race based than communist.

I don't know if it's already been said, but the already popularized term for Racial Communism is Cultural Marxism. The cultural application of Marxist thought on social relations, instead of based on the traditional model of class based contiousness. Besides that nit pick, I find the way you define these terms and explain their application in the real world really kept my attention and helped me get a deeper understanding of both. I'm looking to read more once I finish up writing something myself.

I think cultural marxism is somewhat different, particularly as generally used. It is more about demolishing history and existing social relations instead of expropriation-based economics

Thanks!

That is true, though it falls under Cultural Marxism, it seems that your term more highlights a specific aspect of the ideology, I think that works

A good book you might find very interesting is, Geography Rectified, or, A Description of the World, by Robert Morden. Go to page, 524, and read the chapter. https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_geography-rectified-_morden-robert_1688

You're welcome, the chapter I mentioned will be quite an eye-opener for many who know little about the region, but for those of us who experienced life there; no surprise!
