There is always abundant irony surrounding whatever Julius Malema says.
Today, this magniloquent mampara said to a poor, undiscriminating audience that respect will be earned only in the way one treats one's comrades. The irony, of course, is that he uses his current suspension from the ANC to cast himself as a victim in the eyes of the poor - as one who deserves respect - carefully avoiding to tell them he essentially has no interest in their welfare but only seeks to grow his own ill-gotten gains.
This is a dangerous political rabble-rouser of Hitlerian proportions who, if allowed to have his way, will wreak unprecedented destruction in this country. In a government of rogues, bent on protecting and growing their own mammon there is already enough to contend with and this country doesn't need, added to the morally depraved mix, a tyrant in the making blowing hot air to a gullible populace.
