Nelson Mandela bombed railways, was in South Africa's communist party, worked with Cuba's communist government, and sabotaged the South African government to overthrow apartheid.

If he did any of that right now, liberals would be calling him a "tankie". And they did indeed insult him back then when he did so. It's always after the fact that liberals admit these people were in the right.
