The deplorable economic situation in Zimbabwe is getting even more critical by the day. Stack poverty now stares the majority of the people on the face.

At some point, the country had a vibrant economy, when agricultural investors where not arm twisted, their land taken away forcefully by the former regime in a bid to Redistribute land.

The truth about Zimbabwe is that it has regressed, back to that ancient poverty which has been the historical lot of mankind. As I’ve pointed out before:

The problem with this description is that it is actually accurate. Zimbabwe simply doesn’t have anything even approximating to a formal economy any more. And as such it’s one of the poorest places on the planet as a result. And yes, Mugabe is to blame for this.

Gee, who would have thought?

Formerly Southern Rhodesia, the breadbasket of Africa.

[Da Coyote]

Socialism/Marxism.
Simple theories for simple minds.
Er, make that simple always incorrect theories for simple always incorrect minds.

The truth about Zimbabwe is that it has regressed, back to that ancient poverty which has been the historical lot of mankind.

The only thing that has ever helped the mass of any people to rise above such poverty is Capitalism.

And the Left HATES Capitalism. So, what does this tell us about the Left?

It must the be the white man’s fault that black men killed them and stole their farms.

[Sacajaweau]

This is not the first time they stole the land and then didn’t work it....and starved.

[Cowgirl]

That again.

[nopardons]

And now those in power, in the RSA, are starting down that same path, but worse.

If they all die, can the white folks come back.

[ronnie raygun]

Those racist white folks are the reason.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

It seems the author’s writing has regressed to a primitive state.

White bad

I didn’t know there were any white farmers left.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”

-Robert A. Heinlein

“At some point, the country had a vibrant economy...”

Yeah, when it was Rhodesia.

[B.O. Plenty]

It is known that the black *farmers* who took over the White farms worked the land until the machinery broke down...couldn’t fix the equipment, then ate the next crop seeds when they got hungry. Hardly a farm business plan.

My tears are not being jerked

[Osage Orange]

Here we have this...

Is the fishing industry leaving enough food for Antarctica’s top predators?

And then this?

Zimbabweans dying of hunger after land grabs and killing of white farmers.

I'm wondering about things...

[Secret Agent Man]

Dear Zimbabwe,

Because of what you are doing,

We are GLAD you are dying, you deserve it and worse.

Taken the breadbasket of Africa and turned it into a place of starvation..

South Africa is sadly on the same path..
