The Rhodesian Bush War

Glory to the Rhodesian Light Infantry.

A measure of how jacked the world already was by that point-- the Rhodesians were good enough to die for the Allies in the world wars but were completely abandoned in the name of decolonializing virtue signaling.

Mugabe is gone from office now, but the repercussions from that war still march on. Now Zimbabwe" (which is what Mugabe renamed Rhodesia to - I guess he didn't like Cecil Rhodes or something) is begging for the white farmers to come back. Apparently, Mugabe's political cronies were no damned good at farming, and after the farms were "confiscated" from the white farmers and "redistributed" to black "farmers" who just happened to be Mugabe's political cronies,  what was once the breadbasket of southern Africa stopped producing, and the farms went to shit, infrastructure either falling apart or simply being destroyed,

Rhodesia fed itself, and a great many others too, but Zimbabwe could not even feed it's own then, and that's a big part of why the economy fell to shit (that and the fact that Mugabe just printed "money" with nothing to back it in an attempt to pay government debts that fell into place after farm exports were no longer able to keep it afloat) and inflation eventually hit literally BILLIONS of percents.

Now they want the white Rhodesian farmers to come back - after about a 40 year hiatus because farmers were being killed for their farms - so that they can get their economy back on track. Fuck 'em. There is absolutely no reason for a farmer to ever trust a Zimbabwean,

Even at that, whites are not allowed to own farms in Zimbabwe, and they are begging them to come back and LEASE farms, to pay for the privilege of working the lands that were once theirs like itinerant sharecroppers, to benefit the ZANU government. That doesn't strike me as a very good deal, just sayin'....

Zimbabwe is the best argument that could be made to illustrate how Marxism and Progressivism never, EVER work.
