Zimbabwe jumps in the DeLorean and travels back to 1984
Have you been following the Zimbabwe saga as it unfolds? For many months, the dictator-tyrant Robert Mugabe has been resisting a world call for his removal. He’s rigged elections, murdered by the thousands and is now denying that cholera is spreading wildly in his country.
I would like to make a strong book recommendation to help you understand the psychology of communist/fascist regimes. 1984 by George Orwell perfectly dissects the tactics used by leaders like Mugabe, Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), and Kim Jong-il (North Korea).
Mugabe is running this one right out of the “1984″ playbook, so predictable it’s tiring. Keep your people impoverished and impotent and blame another “tyrant” country for your problems so you can look like you’re the great defender of your people.
