So what little resources he does dish out to the people, you can be sure that Mugabe’s Shona constituents will be more likely to them.

This is simply a remarkable example of the politics of division, which unfortunately has great success in rich and poor countries alike.

It is always interesting to read the comments of Zimbabwe citizens about the state of their country. One of the more fascinating things about reading Zimbabwean blogs is the constant use of words like 'misrule' and 'change.' The implication is, from using such terms, that merely a 'change' in leadership is all that is required for Zimbabwe to begin its recovery. What one never reads in Zimbabwean blogs is any appreciation that the underlying cause of their impoverishment is what they want to change. Instead, merely changing the leadership of their Stalinist socialist state is somehow going to correct their endemic political and economic problems. Well, keep your socialism, if that is what you wish. But know, that in the rest of the world, so far, the most brutal and impoverishing philosophy in all of history is socialism.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1365','a Duoist'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1365','a Duoist','Thank you, \'Bulawayo activist\' for your post.
