Zimbabwe coup

The Kims are Asian and they have to be on the list. Castro is European, and he'd be on the list as well.

Edit: I suppose the Kims might not qualify because the north part of Korea was pretty shitty when they took over. They just stayed in their lane.

Look at people from the last few decades. Where does Mugabe rank among the individuals who were most disastrous to the overall well being of their country without a war being involved. Basically judging on pure incompetence. He's got to be near number 1 on that list.

Number 2 behind Trump.

Bet there's loads of big paydays from China going around the top people today, and envelopes being handed down the ranks. One week to prepare a peaceful revolution was a bit short, and all the placards asking for the sacked Vice President to save them  seemed prepared well in advance. We'll know soon enough.

They may have just gotten o the phone to the SWP who seem to be able to gin up a few hundred placards with a relevant message in a couple of hours.

Someone a few posts up suggested that Zimbabwe's economic problems were not as a result of war. 

I would like to point out Zimbabwe was a key participant on one of the largest conflicts since the second world war. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War#Zimbabwe

In which as estimated 2.7-5.2 million people died in a few short years. 

 

The financial fall out from this was a major player in the economic collapse. They also had an internal "civil war" ok it was really just a murder rampage by the  government in the early 80s.

Got to be the best protest banner ever. Hope Barry Hearn offers old Bob a seat on the board of the WPBSA now.

I'd love to hear him commentating at Sheffield, born for the job.
