The fact that some people want Rhodesia to come back speaks volumes about how awful and incompetent Robert Mugabe was.

Rhodesia: racism or poverty?

Latin America: YES

[tylerdoss]

All zimbabwe really needs is an actual competent government

[luisandrade]

I love how people in this discussions always forget that Zimbabwe also has a terrible democracy and human rights record

“It kinda began with the Brits”
It always does 😂😂

Fun fact: In Argentina Rhodesia is the name of a cookie. You can buy it in the markets.

The best part is that a military coup stopped the hyper-inflation in Zimbabwe, so you could argue that military action is the best way to stabilize a rapidly failing country.

The local indigenous people hadn't even invented the wheel when the Brits got there. The Matabele's were committing wholesale murder against the Shona. The Rhodesians made the indigenous people's lives much better and they thrived. It's such a damn shame what happened to Rhosdesia.

the difference between SA and Zimbabwe is that SA actually HAD good governance for a period of time between 1994 and the 2010s. but then it went to shit sometime in the 2010s.

“Zimbabwe is good and fair for the people”

Hey should we tell him about what really happened or not?

Well the problem with both is that the governments establish hierarchies based on skin color and people get their position based off of that rather than meritocracy. In Rhodesia, dark skin people were never allowed to succeed, while in Zimbabwe light skin people were expelled. Countries like South Africa and Malaysia also have this same problem today. Oppressing a historically privileged minority will only increase their resentment against the majority or cause them to flee the country taking their wealth with them. Singapore has the right idea when it comes to this. It’s also worth noting that although in Zambia the majority is black they have still had a white person who became president of their (admittedly flawed) democracy.

John Edmond’s music really made many folks nostalgic for Rhodesia

[zadamany]

Don’t forget that The Gukurahundi was a direct order of Mugabe, who was about as democratically elected as Vladimir Putin…

Zimbabwe is not a mess because of black people, but by Robert Mugabe's incompetance.

[CaptainAlexande]

the hyperinflation was mainly because they gave all the farms to people to who didn't know how to run them so they stopped producing as much and the eco eventually collapsed under this weight

[Bolognabeef]

The US didn't support Rhodesia, not even covertly, that's just false.
It was only South Africa and Portugal (until 1975)
