Prof. Wanliss:
Two lessons for you from an old commie hunter.
Mugabe has always been a Marxist and when he came into power, he became a Marxist dictator. He always has been and will be until the day he dies.
He slaughtered many fellow Zimbabweens, as you mentioned, but reports told of No. Korean military units assisting in this political/tribal genocide, not just training the local rabble military.
Secondly, communist dictators always blame the “West, capitalism, America, Uncle Sam, Uncle Irv, and Mamie Eisenhower” for all their problems, those caused by nature to those caused by their communist/Marxist economic and political policies.
Mugabe wants “money, honey, that’s what he wants” and he typically rolls out the old communist mantra of “blame it on the West, make them feel guilty, turn them into pariahs, and then demand reparations/damages money from them. And the stupids in the West, from Comrade Obama to the Euro-weenies want to give it to them.
Someone asked the other day at FR how much Mugabe’s daughter is worth in stolen money and pay-offs. How much is he worth? How much was Chavez worth before he croaked, “May God Be Thanked For That”? Castro and his family? Saddam and “the boys”? Assad and his gang of killers? Kim Il Mentally Deranged family? Putin and his KGB/Russian Mafia family? ETC.
The West is the piggy bank of Marxist dictators and like good little “class warriors”, we pay these bastards off.
Let’s call a “Communist/Marxist” a “Communist/Marxist” and not a “dictator”, a “socialist”, a “progressive”, or even “sane”.
Their deeds tell us exactly who and what they are. No need for use to be polite in describing them in soft terms.
Hitler was not called “the leader of Germany”, but a “murderous Nazi genocidal bastard”.
Mugabe is his first cousin so he deserves the exact same clarity of description of just who he is.
BUMP.
