Peanuts on the dollar

Ahh, so you're familiar with Rhodesia then?

I get a chuckle out of that line in the Stevie Wonder song "Master Blaster (Jammin)" - specifically the one about "peace has come to Zimbabwe". Whatever you want to say about Ian Smith, the country was a lot more prosperous and content under his leadership than it ever was under that pigfucker Robert Mugabe.

Yet another example of socialism utterly destroying a society.

I was there for that bullshit too. Murder happening all around me.

During the land re-appropriation "kill the farmer" saga back in 2000, Mugabe was going to take-over a relative's farm of three generations, including the designated land made available by my relatives for three generations of black staff and their families. An Australian citizen, me, going into Zimbabwe in 2000 during severe political unrest, armed with firearms illegally (not registered to me) and pretending to be Zimbabwean, to give my relatives a window of opportunity to plead their case to the Australian government and gain refugee status into Australia.

Job done! They got refugee status...and for white people, that's almost unheard of. The blacks were kicked off the land and left destitute by Mugabe's henchmen and the previously sustaining farm for so many people, destroyed and left to go to ruin. Everything my relatives couldn't take with them, was stolen. Including the farm obviously!

I have massive testicles to do what I did, even if I have to say so myself. And I'd do it again if family were ever threatened by terrorism.
People like Mugabe and Mandela disgust me.

Open your eyes people. Enjoy your freedoms...

Are you kidding? They're more content to park their carcass in a chair and let someone else lie them into abject stupidity. Why do you think so many of them have yet to twig to the fundamental lie that is Socialism?

Rhodesia was hung out to dry by the same snake oil salesmen class currently attempting to flush the US down the toilet.  Rhodesia was a meritocracy, you had to prove your worth to even vote. And it wasn't a black versus white thing, there being plenty of examples of whites which weren't afforded the vote as well and the locals were predominantly in Camp Happy at the arrangement. Internationally however, the arguments of it being a racial struggle were definitely getting trotted out on the regular and sanctions were in place against them. While communist interests supplied groups like Mugabe's ZANU via South Africa.

Looking at footage of what it was like in the seventies as opposed to now, there's a world of difference and it all boils down to the pretenders who claim to go after the tippy tops in the name of equity. And it's the same every time this play gets made. "From each according to their abilities to each according to their needs" is an open invitation for rampant corruption to take root and those with ability fleeing the neighbbourhood (just look at California). What's left? Ohhh, poverty and a bunch of lazy and incompetent assclowns wallowing in their own filth... a socialist wet dream turned pig sty under its own hubris.
