Ms. Buckle was part of the problem, among the whites who supported Mugabe. A number of years ago, when her stuff first appeared here I was sympathetic, but then her history surfaced. One cannot wish her personally ill, but I can’t be particularly sympathetic so someone who has been a Mugabe enable for decades and who could have gotten out long ago.
Amen to that. Cathy Buckle was one of the stupid white people who supported the racist, leftist Mugabe. What on Earth did she and her Leftist friends expect? Probably that they'll be recognized as the enlightened white benefactors and would be called to high governmental functions as advisers of a new Mugabe regime, which would welcome them and lead to a Golden Age. A dangerous delusion, but then again, the Left lives in a delusion.
The current situation had been predicted long ago. I remember the headline from a conservative European weekly when Mugabe took over: "Suicide of a country".
I hope Buckle and other useful idiots repent before they starve. Unfortunately, they'll probably just flee the Marxist paradise they contributed to create, and will be invited to talk about their experience and preach multicultural revolution at Columbia U.
