Are all people suited for this style of government? Is it possible that a style of government is not really the issue with Zimbabwe, and maybe the main issue with Zimbabwe is it is filled with Zimbabweans?

Black life expectancy under white rule was in the 60's. After the communist takeover it fell to 34.

I volunteer and work with a charity that provides support to disabled people in 3rd world countries. When they go into Zimbabwe, they have to go in covertly because if the government knows they are giving aid, supplies, or anything they confiscate it.
What charity?

Anarchy is a democracy that votes in real time.

Democracy would be the shite if we restricted who could participate in it.

been to Zim twice on safari. The white Zim PH's are some of the best guys you will ever meet in your life. They are tough as nails and very self-sufficient. They have to be in that country. There are only about 25k whites left in the country (peak of 300k). They are all still rich by Zim standards - but have had all their lands taken from them. They hustle their butts off to make a living - hunting, restaurants, trades, etc. But they know there is no hope for the country ever. Many whites left to South Africa but now there is little hope for SA - it is headed down the drain as well.

Okay, I just perused you other comments and as you might or might not know a lot of Vietnam veterans went over there to save that grasp of hope. Some perished in trying to save that portal.
The UN shite on Rhodesia and endorsed the PLC and that was that.

Done! I have family who was involved over there and the PLC bulldozed the grave yard we had to just get a scoop of dirt and bury it in the family plot in Georgia from where it was.
