The weakness of the left is the underestimation of the convictions and the determination of the right to remain in power. The mistaken belief that in time we can change their mind.

Lessons from our Leaders
I was asked what have our leaders taught us and are they taking us in the direction we wish to go in. What have they done to demonstrate that we are moving in the correct direction? I started thinking of an old interview with Mugabe saying that all he ever wanted was to teach his people is to be self sufficient.
I responded that our leaders taught us the value of education and that we should continue to suffer if it means that we will never be second class citizens in our country again. Now I have always been told that I am unaware of the “real situation” in Zimbabwe, the levels that people are suffering.
I have started to argue back and tell them people your only experience is of Zimbabwe I have a “global experience” and I have seen that Black people are treated as second class citizens and are the living in relative poverty everywhere we are.
When reflecting on what has “occurred” in Zimbabwe we look at it in a vacuum forgetting that struggle is not ours alone.

He was encouraging people to invest in the stock market which at the time I thought that isn’t a bad idea. When I think about it now, why are you gambling with your limited disposable income?
Now don’t get me wrong, I agree we need things of our own but then again if I don’t want to start a business I should just get paid enough to live comfortably. I know in the West the ideology is “everyman for themselves” but how is that working for you?

O the irony
It’s not enough they did something wrong. What is really bad is they know nothing will happen because they are part of a system that pretends Black people don’t work hard enough but white people do because they can pay bribes.
With money made from slavery, colonization and exploitation of the poor.
Meanwhile the “liberal” media reports on whether the “kids” did anything wrong and should be punished for it.
