Ironically, Nelson Mandela was very much critical of the foreign policies of these 'selfie' state leaders of the Atlantic alliance, particularly their bountiful and active support for imperialist wars in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia....

Mandela was a subversive, a rebel, a square-peg-in-a-round-hole, a true moral force, and hated double standards and hypocrisy. He knew and lived by heart the virtuous spirit of ubuntu — the dearest and noblest sense of humanity and solidarity (the 'you in I' and the 'I in you').

Let's get our facts and history written, declared, and promoted as objectively as possible. Reclaim Madiba's progressive legacy!
