Reply #27: mugabe is a gangster

[kodi]

plain and simple.

he stole the first election from joshua nkomo and never looked back.

twist his behavior as some sort of mutant liberation theology all you want, but it is him and his buddies who are lining their pockets while the devil takes the hindquarters of the poor.

mugabe has threatened and tortured his adversaries, given his supporters control of private industries, and shut down any opposition press. this is not the behavior of a role model for sub-saharan africa.

if these sorts of things were done by a right wing oligarch in central america, he would be criticized in the leftist press as a monster. but since he spouts off about land redistributon and attacks the west, he's some sort of hero.

what is it about some people who are willing to ignore this sort of stuff from alleged revolutionaries?

is it denial or just blind ideology getting in the way of reality?
