Wow - it’s nearly like a law of science. Communists, Africa, Politics, economic destruction - its all so predictable
In Zimbabwe, after the farms were taken over, they were sacked, even to the point of ripping wiring out of the walls to sell. Now they’re sitting abandoned while the people starve.
Sounds a lot like what Obama’s doing here.. More land grabs, recreational fishing bans, etc.. (Under the guise of the green movement of course) This is right out of the Marxists handbook.
Looks like my trillion dollar Zim note will come in handy in SA now.
More solid evidence that communism NEVER works!
Heading the way of Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe....
Note to land owning South Africans: Don’t be stupid.
They are intending to do much the same to you as was done in Zimbabwe. And if you are as meek as the white Rhodesians, you will suffer their same fate. And some of you will be murdered in the process.
This does not mean that this is a certainty, however. If you do not waste time, screw around, and trust in the kindness of people that hate you, you may have a chance.
The first thing this means is that you must for powerful alliances with those who do not wish to share your fate. And these alliances must be strong enough to stop this nonsense in its tracks.
Since your enemy does not want to stop, it must not be given a choice in the matter. It must stand to lose much more than it would gain by taking your land. Importantly, this must mean losing what matters to them, not what you think *should* matter to them.
In short, they must be made to fear tyrannizing you. This is not unreasonable. In fact it is what every democratic government must face. A fear of tyrannizing its citizens, with the threat of it finding itself on the receiving end of its citizens anger.
Often it is human nature to screw around until things have fallen apart. And were the South African white wise, they would have taken these measures on their own, and some time ago. So our assumption must be that they are foolish, that they will be driven from their lands, and their nation destroyed, by individuals who see that destruction as superior to what you have now.
Zimbabwe part II? In their haste to get rid of the remaining colonists, African countries are recreating the conditions that led to Africa being an easy target for colonialsim in the not-so-distant past. This time it looks like the colonists will be from the East and not the West.
