South African Apartheid Ethics

The current public OWS movement reminds me of the anti-apartheid struggle. We had a morally corrupt government, it's greedy opportunistic capitalists who wanted and received every government favor as if they were socialists, espousing a morally bankrupt code of behaviors supported by an overwhelming majority of ordinary white citizens that make no logic or humane sense at all.
Now this is the interesting observation. The corrupt system will fall to heroes who are ordinary folk doing the right thing for humanity and then all the republicans, democrats, and greedy capitalists will claim that they in their Christian piety created the new order of ethical equity. The lesson is that when all the evil perpetuated by the current powers of society have been defeated it is essentially these corrupt individuals who opposed change with every ounce of their being who will claim that they defeated the unknown immoral social forces of evil. They will continue in power under that new delusion until they are once again unmasked by the next generation. Today in South Africa it is difficult to find a racist yet the racists held overwhelming majorities in elections for decades. They have suddenly disappeared and morphed into liberals who claim anti apartheid sympathies as if they never supported overt or covert racism in their lives.
I suspect that one day all the corrupt politicians will claim that they were mingling with OWS from the start. Come to think of it this is a repeat of Vietnam.
