Typical OCUK anti Mugabe brigade rearing their heads. Nothing to see, move along.
Typical troll fishing away.
Reality is that hardly any of the replies are about Mugabe yet you posted that by default.
I've been to Zimbabwe 3 times in the last 13 years or so, one of which was during the lead up to one of the general elections and it was truly a horrible to place to be. All the supermarket shelves were empty, people were queuing round the block for loaves of bread and water was at a premium as well. Yet in true Zimbabwe style, all the locals just kept on smiling and going about their day as best they could.
Was such a shame to see such a beautiful Country go to pot, hopefully things may be finally looking up for the Zimbabweans.

For anyone who doesn't know much about Zimbabwe or what a complete moron Mugabe is, here is a Zimbabwean $100,000,000,000,000 bank note, it couldn't buy a Mars bar. That is how bad the inflation got before he had to throw in the towel and just tell everyone to start using US dollars instead

How's that maths degree going for you?
is this supposed to be ironic - pretending that being "anti Mugabe" is a bad thing?

I'm sure you can mount a credible defence of the man where so many others have failed.
It is known as Monglish.

In his 90's, but apparently he was going to pass his evil empire over to his wife, who is in her 50's...

You'd think so wouldn't you? But tragically I don't think it is, just take look at the posts by that particular 'member' in the thread where Mugabe was laughingly handed the WHO Goodwill Ambassador role.

Another successful country with a Marxist/socialist leader and party in charge has a military coup probably due to some foreign shenanigans involving the CIA or something like that..........
Don't worry 'next time' they will get socialism right so it doesn't end to a greater or lesser degree in murder, oppression, poverty and general economic collapse.
*I'm fully aware that Mugabe has hardly in practice been a 'good' Marxist or Socialist*
but he came to power professing to be one and of course having a system where you can arbitrarily seize private property for the 'people' comes from Marxism /socialism and certainly was a rather prominent feature of his rule
Borrowed from a reply to a post of mine from another recent thread....
So inogen yes I would generally rather live in a country with wealth inequality them one aiming to be without it....
in Zimbabwe we have case in point as to how a more 'equal' country isn't necessarily (of even more frequently) a better one.... Zimbabwe used to have 70%+ of the land owned by about 0.6‰ of the population. Thanks to 'socialist' land reforms this is now much less inequality in land ownership but lots more people starving....
