Posted by italianstallion on Sun Dec 8 00:13:28 2013, in response to Re: Nelson Mandela Has Died At 95; South African Communist Party confirms he was a member, posted by DAnD124 on Sat Dec 7 23:31:00 2013. Don't believe a word he says. He knows few of us will slog through 2 constitutions, so he's hoping we will accept his statements without examination. In fact, the S.Africa constitution is pretty decent, recognizing many more rights than the USA, for instance. The USSR catalogs rights, but, as you suspected, they are ignored in practice. And you won't find anything like this in the S. Africa constitution:"Citizens of the USSR are obliged to safeguard the interests of the Soviet state, and to enhance its power and prestige. "Defence of the Socialist Motherland is the sacred duty of every citizen of the USSR. Betrayal of the Motherland is the gravest of crimes against the people." The USSR constitution also enshrines socialism as the guiding principle of the nation, which is nowhere seen in the SA document. |
