Why does anyone think that it will be different this time?
They simply do not care about huge reductions in food production.
They care about power. They care about their perks and personal fortunes and mistresses and concubines.
They care about showing how much they hate white people and capitalism.
That is what they care about.
They know the “Progressives” of the world have their back. They backed Mugabe as he did far worse in Zimbabwe.
Being a black leftist, especially in Africa, means you are immune from any complaint in the First world.
To complain about you, the leaders of the First world would have to admit that their theories about reality in Africa have been wrong for the last 60 years.
You said it, POWER! That is the key word.
You get it.
