Careful now (did I hear the word misinformation?).  Under the above
definition the official opposition party in South Africa (the Progressive
Federal Party) is communist.  While I agree that some of them have been
called commies by the government (as some Democrats have been called
by some Republicans), IN NO WAY does ANY South African law states that
any organized opposition to apartheid is communist.  (Yes I know you
did not say it, but it still remains a blatent lie.)

I am not so sure about the "eventually".  I think they already do - at
least if judged by the literature they distribute in South Africa
(which is not quite the same as that which you find here -- here it has
been "cleaned up" for western consumption).
