There are 16 Communist countries that are members of the United Nations. All these countries have minority governments. The ruling minority consists of the members of the Communist Party. Communist Party membership ranges from about three percent in Red China to about five percent in most of the others. These countries are all dictatorships in which the head of the Communist Party, such as Leonid Brezhnev or Fidel Castro, exercises near-total power.
The UN made it clear that dictatorships are apparently more welcome in the UN than republics when it admitted the dictatorship of Mainland China and expelled the Republic of China.
The Republic of Rhodesia has never been admitted to the UN. Why? It surely can’t be because it has a white minority government because 12 Communist nations in the UN have exactly that. Neither can it be because of Apartheid, because this doesn’t exist in Rhodesia.
Here is a list of 25 policies, programs, or practices that the government of Rhodesia would have to initiate in order to meet the standards for UN membership set by that leading member of the UN General Assembly and Security Council, the Soviet Union.
Rhodesia would have to build a Gulag Archipelago and install a network of concentration camps. Rhodesia would have to put in torture chambers, such as have been so graphically described by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and send its most intelligent political opponents to psychiatric clinics for political and mental treatment. Rhodesia would have to suppress all opposition to government policies by killing its opposition leaders and relocating ethnic minorities.
Rhodesia would have to institute a program of confiscation of private property and collectivization of the farms that would cause thousands of deaths. Rhodesia would have to reduce the wages paid to workers and force the women to do the heaviest manual labor such as mining and construction work. Rhodesia would have to manipulate currency exchange in order to bring it under complete control of the minority government, and then resort to periodic confiscation of personal savings accounts.
Rhodesia would have to prohibit religious education of all children from age six to eighteen, and close down 92 percent of all churches, Then Rhodesia would have to inaugurate a system of totalitarian indoctrination of all school children.
Rhodesia would have to deny exit permits to all who want to emigrate, and indulge in blatant anti-Semitism. Rhodesia would have to install a system of internal visas so that all persons would have to have special permits to travel even short distances within the country.
Rhodesia would have to impose a radical censorship of the press, ban the importation of most foreign books, censor all movies, stage plays and art, and decree severe punishment for listening to foreign radio stations. Rhodesia would have to reduce communication among its people by banning the public possession of telephone books.
Rhodesia would have to enforce discipline on the populace by a rigid discrimination in the distribution of food, basic medicines, and other essentials. Rhodesia would have to send troops to occupy and take over neighboring countries.
If Rhodesia did all these things, then it might make itself acceptable the United Nations which has welcomed the Communist countries that practice these violations of liberty and justice,
