Zimbabwe's Mugabe dead. No sympathy. He turned his nation from the food basket of Africa into a hungry bankrupt nation for the 40 years that he was in power.
His strategy was to grab all farm land from white people, and distribute those to blacks. But blacks couldn't run the equipment, neither could harvest or manage the farms. The net food exporter nation quickly became an importer. But where would the money come from? He started printing money leading to hyper inflation where billions and billions of Zimbabwean dollars couldn't buy a bread.
And one can assume that he would have seen that his strategy wasn't working and would have backed off at one point. He didn't do that.
If one needs a proof that not all nations can rule themselves -- he should look at Zimbabwe. Self rule sounds good in theory, until the whole nation leave their free state willfully to become the asylum seeker slaves of the other nation that they have kicked out from their land previously.
Life is tough. And high pitched emotion can't feed a nation.
This one was a strongly opinioned post.
