He was an opportunist and a demagogue, but as far as those go he was not nearly as bad as his detractors say. He followed through on redistributing land to the peasantry and waited much longer than many other soviet aligned 3rd world leaders to accede to international capital. Not an especially good or admirable leader, I dont know enough about the history to speak to the scale and severity of the gukuruhundi (it def happened to some extent however) but hysteria about him being an exceptionally evil dictator is enough to discount someones evaluation of him

>>1800541One thing to keep in mind is that some white Rhodesian die-hards continued to stage hit-and-run attacks from across the border in South Africa.
But Mugabe could be pretty out there. He seemed to have a petty and vain personality, ironically quite the Anglophile, sent his army into a profligate proxy war in the DRC, and killed around 20,000 people in the Ndebele-speaking region in the south where his one-time ally Joshua Nkomo's supporters held sway (and what was up with the Hitler-esque mustache?). Nkomo led a different rebel group during the war of liberation that was backed by the USSR (Mugabe was backed by China and the DPRK). Archbishop Desmond Tutu once told a South African newspaper, "He was one of Africa's best leaders, a bright spark, a debonair, well-spoken and well-read person … but he seems to have gone bonkers in a big way."
Interesting to read about other figures in the government in the 80s and 90s. Speaking of the 'stache, one might read up about Chenjerai "Hitler" Hunzvi (pic), really his nom de guerre was Hitler, who boasted about being "the biggest terrorist in Zimbabwe," chaired the Zimbabwe war veterans association until he died in 2001 (more than likely of AIDS), which functioned as Mugabe's personal goon squad (targeting not only the political opposition but white farmers in land seizures), and was eventually charged with lifting tens of millions of dollars from the war veterans' fund.
There's also the story of Canaan Banana, the first president of Zimbabwe (Mugabe was the prime minister and later made himself president) who was arrested for allegedly molesting male staff members. The bodyguard of Banana's wife then shot to death a policeman who he called "Banana's wife." Some of the better headlines at the time included "Banana Denies Buggery" and "Mugabe Slips on Banana." Then when the disgraced ex-president fled the case, "Banana Splits."

Mugabe‘s problem is that he didn‘t do the things triggered white demons accuse him of and that was annihilating the entire white population when he took power. Bonus points for enslaving them.

>>1800657The SACP had an article about the shifting class structures in Zimbabwe:
>After its landslide 1980 election victory, Mugabe's ZANU quite rapidly began to change character. The upper echelons formed the political elite in the post-independence government. The second-layer leadership became officers and NCOs in the new army. Thousands of rank and file combatants were demobilised and returned to their remote peasant farms. From there they could hardly influence the ongoing evolution of post-independence affairs. Urban students and trade unions had been supportive but largely marginal in the struggle. In the early years after independence they were organised as tame appendages of the ruling party.
>These developments were unfortunately similar to those that have characterised many former liberation movements on our continent. After ascendancy to political power, the class alliances within the liberation movement shift from the pre-independence alliance between the working class, the peasantry and progressive sections of the petty bourgeoisie to a new alliance between these (formerly) progressive elements of the petty bourgeoisie and sections of local and international capital. This is usually brought about by the marginalisation of the working class and the peasantry in the post-independence reconstruction programmes. Without participation of the masses, the petty bourgeoisie, now in control of state institutions and within the context of the domination of imperialism, seeks to advance its interests in accumulation into an alliance with sections of local and international capital. The end result of these developments has always been the continuation of the economic structure of the colonial era, albeit under new circumstances, thus sacrificing the interests of working class, the peasantry and the poor.
>The growing bureaucratisation of ZANU-PF, as a result of similar processes, left it vulnerable to external pressure. In the late 1980s and through the 1990s Mugabe was unable to resist pressures from the World Bank and the IMF, and was forced to implement harsh structural adjustment programmes. Growing hardship amongst the urban masses saw the once tame ZCTU pursuing a more militant in the 1990s. The election results basically shows that ZANU-PF has lost the support of the organised working class, the urban masses, and the former ZAPU support in Matebeleland.https://www.sacp.org.za/content/lessons-zimbabwe No.1800769

The reason for the famine(s) and higher food importations was the fact that during the bush war, most white farmers either willingly or not grew food to support the war effort. Once the war was over they and any new black farmers reverted to the African kulak routine of growing cash crops to sell.
Also note that there's a myth that white farmers had their land expropriated immediately after the war but that's not true. They stayed the majority of land holders until 2000 when the expropriations actually started since the Lancaster House agreement forbid seizing their land.
Either way, both white and black farmers before or after 2000 operated the same way as any sub-saharan kulak.
Still, Mugabe was a retard for many reasons. Chief among them:
>agreeing to the lancaster house agreement
>implementing (at best) socdem-tier reforms
And most importantly
>not actually collectivising the land but instead giving it as private property to fellow guerilla leaders and personal friends

>>1800828This. Mugabe was a very mild socdem tier leader at best. It was the veterans of the bush wars who, demanding land ownership pushed for land reform policies. Which under his rule was botched into a clientelist resource network rather than true collectivization.
The whole image of Mugabe being some radical anti-white despot is primarily just racist image cultivated by Anglos due to their colonial hangups. By all account Mugabe was very fond of Western culture and trappings.
