Eldorado Posted January 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Zimbabweans faced a “total internet shutdown” after a violent crackdown on people protesting against a dramatic rise in fuel prices. Badly injured people streamed into a hospital in the capital Harare after alleged assaults by security forces. “Our country is going through one of the most trying periods in its history,” the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference said in a statement lamenting the government’s “intolerant handling of dissent” and its failure to halt economic collapse.

Well, fascism is characterised by authoritarian control of the populace. And so, of course, is Marxism. Notwithstanding, it should be Emmerson Mnangagwa these days, rather than Mugabe. Notwithstanding, why should we be surprised ? This is just another milestone on Zimbabwe's relentless drive down the road to total bankruptcy and failure. Within 5 years, Zimbabwe will be mentioned in the same tones as Yemen and Sudan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.. interesting thought. I'll bear that in mind. Meanwhile.. back in Zimbabwe.... the country is still being run into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted January 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Well, Emmerson Mnangagwa doesn't seem to be taking cues from any of the above. He just wants to redistribute land from white farmers to black people. Oh.. and destroy his country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't fear that system becoming entrenched in America because those who would impose it can only depend on some of the sheep to willingly accept their new "laws". The rest will disperse and raise so much hell that they'd only be able to control major urban areas. Kind of like has happened in Afghanistan.

This happened while Mnangagwa is in Russia. It looks like Chiwenga setting things up for a coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
