What do you think of Volkstaat?

[Decius]

Volkstaat (an Afrikaans word meaning "people's state", literally "people-state") is the set of proposals to establish self-determination for Afrikaners in South Africa, either on federal principles or as a fully independent Boer/Afrikaner homeland.

Following the Great Trek of the 1830s and 1840s, Afrikaner or Boer pioneers expressed a drive for self-determination and independence through the establishment of several Boer republics over the rest of the 19th century. The end of apartheid and the establishment of universal suffrage in South Africa in 1994 left some Afrikaners feeling disillusioned and marginalised by the political changes, which resulted in a proposal for an independent Volkstaat.

Several different methods have been proposed for the establishment of a Volkstaat. Besides the use of force, the South African Constitution and international law present certain possibilities for their establishment.[2] The geographic dispersal of minority Afrikaner communities throughout South Africa presents a significant obstacle to the establishment of a Volkstaat, because Afrikaners do not form a majority in any separate geographic area that could be sustainable independently. Supporters of the proposal have established several land cooperatives in Orania in the Northern Cape and Kleinfontein in Gauteng as practical implementations of the idea. Initiatives in Balmoral and Morgenzon, both in Mpumalanga, failed to develop beyond their initial phase.

Today's geopolitics would never allow it since Europeans don't belong in Africa, the Americas and even our own continent apparently. I think there's a word for it. Starts with the letter G.

White boers belong to Africa, they live there 200-300 years ago.

No one could prevent the Boers/Afrikaners from creating their own independent state if they had enough political will to do so. The problem is that the cheap labor of blacks turned out to be more important for Boers/Afrikaners than their independent state. I even remember the story of one prominent nationalist Afrikaner. Despite of all his nationalism, he hired blacks to work for him and was eventually killed by one of his black workers.

By the way it is very similar to the crisis with migrants in Europe. Not a single power on Earth could force Europe to accept migrants if the Europeans were really against migrants.

I think you may have a point here Arsen. Many years ago some Afrikaneer nationalists actually tried to start such a project, with a settlement called Orania which was hoped to become the basis for a Volkstaat of two million ppl or so in NW SA. After many years, despite being legally recognized by the SA government, Orania is still a small settlement of little more than 1000 ppl. With all the tales of murders, crime and corruption in SA one would expect that the proud Afrikaneers would have flooded there, but they didn't. Orania was based on the principle that Whites would do all the jobs themselves without hiring Black labor. It seems that the prospect was not appealing to most Afrikaneers.
