Was watching a lil documentary on the financial situation and history of Zimbabwe, formally Rhodesia . The. One about south Africa, then some about some other counties that where pretty prosperous at a time and now are crap hole and one thing keeps coming up.

Some kinda " revolution" happens . Government takes land away from the very successful farmers who many times are the ones making the all the dang food .... Exile or kill the owners ...then just gives it to " the people" and are surprised when they go through a famine. And then of course they go and blame anyone and everyone talking about sabotage.... But man I have such a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea of not going " hay this select group of people has made all of our food for the last 100yrs , they are very good at it , probably have very very specialized knowledge to make this stuff work.... Maybe we should ....not kill them and give there stuff to the unwashed uneducated masses ?"

Like I know most of the leaders to did this crap where delusional as all get out but man it just seems like such a sensible thing

Actually reminds me of a lil scene I saw in a documentary about that lil deal they had in Seattle, when all those antifa folks basically took over a town and said they would be self sufficient..... They set up a " community garden" that consided of like three potted ,dying tomato plants... Idk man just seems like these things would be a major planning deal for a "revolution "

Real revolutions are simply doers plowing under takers until there is only an acceptable number of them left for prosperity to grow.

Africa has more less intelligent and less capable people than any other continent. That doesn't mean there aren't still some wonderful and intelligent people. It definitely does mean that most people there are incapable of doing what is necessary to create a Western style civilization. Africa doesn't need great white saviors, but it does need the best and brightest Africans to be in charge, just not the most violent warlords.

Rhodesia was fighting communism on multiple fronts . Communists start by dividing and marginalizing , then work on the government usually from the inside , if they just give enough then people will be happy , but what government can give , can only be stolen from another.

Ignorance and the useful idiot are the tool of communism , the goal of communism is to dupe people into thinking they have little and they will have more when they split it all amongst everyone.

yet that just never seems to work,


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Yes..........They tried reverse apartheid. It felt good and righteous for a while. In the end they got hungry and figured out they had killed the host.

What Socialism, Communism and a pure democracy (if the voters want the government to take care of them) dont account for is the human natures of laziness and corruption. In all three of those there is no real way for the general population to improve because their hard work is just used to support those who won't work. Something this country better wake up to fast. But im afraid there are already too many looking for the government hand outs.

I don’t know about others but the one in Zimbabwe before they ejected all the white farmers they actually held a vote on if they should do it or not and the vote was overwhelmingly something like 80 pulse percent not to but the president did it anyways and gave the land to people who have never even farmed many of them cronies of his of big wigs

I have a 100,000,000 dollar bill from there, at the time it was legal tender that bill would buy you a pack of gum if you were lucky enough to find one for sale

When they riot in S Africa they burn all the libraries and universities. It really helps the situation.

Knew a Zimbabwe farmer, 3rd generation white guy....When the black govt got in charge they took the white farmers land and gave it to their buddies, who immediately stripped anything of value off it, and never farmed it...Zimbabwe used to export food, now they had to import it, the inflation went through the roof and money was worthless...A friend went there before it completely collapsed and brought me a 1 million dollar Zimbabwe note, it had an expiration date, lol
a million bucks and it couldn't buy a roll of toilet paper, if they had toilet paper....place was a complete disaster....

Now the white farmers didn't treat the black farm workers very well, but they had jobs, food, and housing....that all went away....so much for helping the people.....guess it's a matter of be careful what you ask for....

You make good points Wolfie, so I can't help but ask a question. Does it seem like the politics of victimhood have ever advanced anyone's plight in life?
