      It’s in his autobiography, he says that he wrote it to prove a point to an SACP leader, Moses Kotane. In the autobiography he denies that he was a communist for political reasons, but we know from research published in 2011 that he factually was so when you combine it with the fact he wrote this… The answer is obviously that he wrote it sincerely.

      The text of this handwritten book(more of a pamphlet really) is to my knowledge only available online on this incredibly suspicious pro-Rodesia site. Someone should really host it elsewhere.
