I agree with you there, there is need to take the bull by the horns and be responsible for our own salvation, but in all fairness, we can not downplay the role colonialism has had, its not like colonialism was a great or empowering aspect for African Economies, then or now. Fine, you may argue that Singapore, Botswana, Namibia and even Zambia were less developed than Zimbabwe less than half a century ago - but put it into context. Zimbabwe's situation is a manifestation of different factors or interests. The common rhetoric of corruption, violence, and bad politics that has grown synonymous with African Development does not do justice here. To make it easier for you to understand - Zimbabwe has been generally isolated and sanctioned by half the world (EU, US, and friends) since 1960, with a short relief between 1980 to the mid 90s. Then from the 90s up until now. SAD FACT --- Zimbabwe is the only country Sanctioned by the US through an Act of Parliament. They say its targeted on a select few (officials, business people, companies or organisations) and not meant to affect the country, but how can you say "i am withholding food from a parent/family to help them improve or convince them of something, but its not meant to hurt or affect the child"? Botswana and Namibia are ahead of Zimbabwe economically, they earned their development, kudos to them there. But the truth is they dont have many adversaries, they trade with everyone, they are in the commonwealth and other economic groups. They dont have some of the powerful countries sabotaging them. I am 1000% sure that if Zimbabwe had a fair sanction-free opportunity to grow, it would be one of the fastest growing economies and FRANCE would be a 3rd world country! BOTTOM LINE: Zimbabweans need to work for their salvation, and revisit how they survived the UDI Sanctions to become the BreadBasket of Southern Africa before. The key might be in their history. ............................................................................ The narration given here skis over a lot of information and does very little to give a fair account of pretty much most of the crucial bits.

⁠casual scholar(who runs this channel) in a long reply to another comment links this to colonialism in which incoming countries set up either puppet regimes or friendly rulers who were given favors for their loyalty and the people under them leading governments more locally got favors for their loyalty. That inevitably sets up a self perpetuating system in which that is what leaders and their cronies are used to and expect so it becomes a cycle that those in charge never feel motivated to break out of. Each new ruler can promise whatever to get into that coveted position which he then believes is his right to exploit and others will always be willing to lend their loyalty for a piece of the pie. If you look at the middle east, there is another type of system that has been in place forever and that seems to always be what countries go back to even when a democracy is set up, this being religious rule. Rather than having secular government in which religion (being restricted or not) is on the side, the leaders tend to be either a powerful group that itself enforces religious laws (think the taliban in Afghanistan) or a powerful ruler/family that aligns itself with a religious group and enforces it's laws (think Saudi Arabia.) In the latter, you see the power or enforcement of the religious laws waver more but there is still a national religion. Along with colonialism affecting the countries in Africa and isolated populations due to geographical landscape affecting religious homogeny there are so many other factors that make it so that many if not all of the countries in a region always tend to go back to one specific type of government even if it proves harmful time after time. But there tends to be one things or a few things that are easy to point out. The rest require more in depth knowledge of the region, it's history, cultures, recourses and infrastructure. You are exactly right though, that African countries have this problem with "big man" leaders, something that is proving very problematic to get away from. There are way too many commenters who don't seem to get the complexity behind that, though, and are just spewing racist bullshit, "this is just what black people do." Which is just not it because the north of Africa is full of Arab countries and mixed ethnicity countries who have this same exact problem with leadership. These leaders have existed all over the world in the past centuries, but it seems to be that when you have countries close together they operate is similar ways that affect eachother greatly. As stability and peace spread over certain regions it made it harder for states or countries within those areas to destabilize. And there are certainly conditions that exist (fresh water, land suitable for agriculture, hospitable climate) that make maintaining peace easier. (I also personally think that being hot all the time tends to drive people a bit crazy. Hell, look at Florida!)

Coming to terms with that is part of moving forward

I agree, but there is the nuance that most African dictators are backed by the west

I don't think those leaders could even begin to think their way out of a wet paper bag ; )

I feel your pain. Im from Russia, we could have been a real super power if not for insane corruption.

Noo mugabe was a good boy

Zimbabwe is a perfect example of how historical colonialism primes countries for failure even today. The Rhodesian system of colonial government was specifically engineered to favor the interests of a small elite group (Whites) over the rest of the population. Thus, any popular revolution there was very vulnerable to being hijacked by people who just wanted to replace the existing elites with themselves. And that's exactly what happened.

Maybe it'll go back how it was before colonialism. The population will reach equilibrium in a few tens of thousands, then the farmers can go back and finish the job. Then voila! Flourishing country again.

So in your world, Africans have to endure a bunch of cruel racists lording over them in their own ancestral land? These racists only ever farmed cash crops like tobacco, cotton, fruit - all for the European markets, they never fed any blacks that is a total lie. The blacks were fenced off onto unproductive land, where they scratched a living and were therefore forced to work on the 'white' farm for peanuts. These white farmers treated the blacks like slaves and were a law unto themselves, no wonder not a single Zimbabwean supported them nor sympathised with these obdurate racists. Your post is a regurgitation of the loud western media which is the cornerstone of white supremacy, and the real story never gets told. The white farmers, in addition to super cheap labour, were heavily subsidised up to 60% by the Rhodesian government and were not the super farmers you suggest here. After all, it was the black people who toiled in the heat of the day while the whites sat in the shade with cold beer and suasages. Did these blacks suddenly forget how to farm? Anyway, agriculture in Zim has recovered and there have been record harvest in the last few years - in spite of the unilateral and illegal economic sanctions.

In order to ramp production properly, the government would have to provide funding for equipment and agriculture consultants paid by the government to assist. Mechanized farming needs a pool of expensive equipment to rapidly till, plant, and harvest. Tractors, plows, cultivators, planters, mowers, harvesters, balers, on-farm fuel storage, plus storage sheds to keep equipment out of the sun and rain and dust... and potentially also to protect from theft. The equipment all must be kept maintained in good condition and ready to use at the appropriate time of the year, which requires heavy equipment repair shops either owned and operated by the farmer or as a separate repair business serving many farms, which may also need government support if it too has collapsed. Monocropping of corn every year requires applying fertilizer and minerals to keep the soil productive, unless the farmer also practices crop rotation to maintain soil health, and knows what other crops to grow to balance out corn or whatever is the main production crop. The farmer may also need crop storage and post-harvest processing facilities such as for corn to dry the kernels for long-term dry storage. To get food to production facilities, someone needs to own a fleet of hauling trucks to get harvested crops from field to market. There is a reason the farmer ends up being "wealthy", they have to buy and maintain all this and juggle the operations of everything year round. Their wealth is not necessarily all that liquid in a bank account, as it is tied up in the physical ownership of all the equipment, maintenance, and storage facilities.

there's a similar thing happening in slow motion in america with DEI policy and mass immigration. watching america slowly devolve into a corrupt third world country one anti-meritocratic action at a time. if whites won't fight for their lands though, they won't keep them.

In Germany we had recurring hyperinflation in the 1920s.

Is there any chance Zimbabwe could get an independent central bank run by bankers not by politicians?

He has the necessary context in this video - it was done to appease military leaders to keep him in power, in the same exact way that increasing veteran fund destroyed the economy in the first place. The moral of the story being, it's better to be behind the gun than in front of it, even if your country is in open famine

I’m shocked you didn’t mention China? Honestly I think that’s a much more egregious case than this. In Zimbabwe, the people who knew how to farm were farming, but they didn’t own the farms before or after the collapse. A society where the people who do the farming own the farmland is, I think, what we are all ultimately trying to accomplish.

(and to be clear, I don’t mean “people” and “farmland” collectively here. I mean that working a piece of land should give you some rights & responsibilities of ownership for that land.)

Soviet Union gave farms to the actual farm workers, and used some land to ensure state stability. The 1932 famine happen largely due to droughts, where multiple countries in the region fell victim to this, and the Soviet government immediately shut down exports in response

@@deawinterwith China, they faced a good amount of natural disasters at the time, such as the Tonghai earthquake were a large part of why China faced there, famine. Second, the death toll numbers are exaggerated, the Deng Xiaoping era used fairly crude sources to count their population, with the actual number being more like 16 million. It’s still is substantial, but it doesn’t justify being off by tens of millions, with some Anti Mao sources, stating 30 million, some 50 million, and some even getting up to 80 million.

@1wun1 There are millions of Africans in Europe, where did they get the money to get there from?

@@1wun1 Were the amaNdeble also supposed to pay the Shona before settling the southern half of the country less than a century before the arrival of the BSAC? It must be borne in mind that conquest was a perfectly legal means of attaining land until the founding of the UN after WW2! You cant judge the past with modern morality. Things were done that everyone now accepts were wrong from a moral perspective but from a legal perspective the laws of the day must dictate the outcomes or the rule of law collapses and with it the peace...

1923 was well before Ian Smith and the Rhodesian Front institutionalized racism. Your comments show a marked failure to grasp the points made in the video. The greater majority of Zimbabwe's fertile farmland was held by whites at independence.

All black majority areas.

​@420technique420 - As sad as it is, how can people not notice this pattern? It feels like I am taking crazy pills having people say every single time it was actually someone else's fault, the odds of that being true are so slim given the dynamic nature of civilization.

@@ElectronFieldPulse unfortunately we have been feed lies for over 100 years now and people fear the truth because what the truth implies.

@@ElectronFieldPulse I think it's the fault of a few with the "white saviour" complex that would rather give them scraps than see them succeed. If you're given a fish every day you never learn how to fish.

NOBODY batted an eyelid when Jacob Zuma said,after his 'election'--'it's our turn to get our nose in the trough'(raid the SA treasury).I knew then that SA was finished as cronyism now had control and would never let go.

Don't worry South Africa is heading the same way

South Africa can still salvage itself. Don't get excited to do crazy things like chasing out farmers who you can't replace. Just learn from them and multiply your competencies. Don't get political about things, just tax sectors to finance development projects. Don't fight about things, Just educate the population to be more skilled. Develop a big real middle class of professionals. That way SA will improve

The last thing South Africa wants is to chase out the white farmers, otherwise they will pull off a Zimbabwe 2.0 and salt the fields and break the farm equipment out of revenge! 😂

The problem was, Russians went into land that was not their's and ethnically killed the native people of those lands. The people don't forget, and today Russia is surrounded by countries who hate Russians so much that they are determined to nuke them, and rightfully so. Russians have committed too many war crimes with no return!

Why do you think you "learned a lot about the more recent history" when you notice the part about the history you already knew is full of inaccuracies? This video is probably very poorly researched all the way through. I had to laugh about the passage where he was talking about "outrageous government spending" and as evidence citing a public spending as part of GPD rate of 50%. Only a stupid American would say something retarded like that. That's a totally average rate, even the US itself is 43%! France for example is at 59%. Does this mean France will soon need 100 trillion euro notes? But anyways, it's not a terrible video, just researched by some amateur who doesn't know much about history, economics etc. Therefore has some funny inaccuracies. Should be watched with the appropriate caution.

Thanks from me who was born in Namibia in 1940, and later had Uni mates from Rhodesia ; I travelled around that, then, wonderful country and sadly watched its rapid demise. Predictable one.

Gracias por esas aclaraciones.

Zimbabwe is a tragedy. But it is the unapologetic racist settlers like you who are a big part of the problem. Rhodesia was a racist society. Blacks couldn't attend the same churches as whites, couldn't be buried in the same graveyards. Pass laws controlled movement of Blacks. The same oppression that Zanu practices today was perfected by the Rhodesians against African dissenters in the 60s and 70s.

😂😂😂fact this one is a good one tbh and I'm Zimbabwean I fled 2yrs ago

🤣🤣🤣

Nice one😂

Ahhh my sister 😂😂😂😭

Once upon a time Zimbabwe was called the breadbasket of Africa both South Africa and Zimbabwe had currencies that were stronger than the American dollar.....

@@rsacitizen6151 Now Zimbabwe is the basket-case of Africa, has been for decades sadly with no signs of ever recovering.

The common theme is a population who wants hand outs and a guaranteed way of life from the government. They think white led governments were keeping wealth from them, when it reality you simply cannot create an economy with a majority of people being "takers" and not "producers". Their entire worldview would be shattered if they had to admit that, because their whole "We were oppressed for a billion years and thats the only reason we fail" narrative is the one thing they refuse to let go of.

Z. was a KNOWN cautionary tale. Just because you get rid of the professionals (Uganda, S. Africe) and they emigrate and/or get kick out, no matter the reason, valid or not, you have to REPLACE those people to run the store.

@TheMannyx17 South African politicians have been visiting Venezuela to study the successful revolution, they even copy the red uniform clothing theme worn by your politicians, and you can see them in parliament here dressed in red construction workers overalls. They also consider Cuba to be a great success story.

One man, one vote, once.

The whites knew exactly what was going to happen, and what they fought for. They did what they could bravely- but they just had to thrown under the communist bus by the internationalists. A sad story

What do you do with a dead body ?

⁠@@zohzuIt’s explained at the start of the video; people were impersonating hearses to take advantage of a policy that let them skip the ludicrously long lines for gas.

@@zohzu - not currently as the black market now takes care of fuel requirements but in about 2005 when you had to queue more than 12-18 hours to get 20 litres of fuel, special preference was given to "emergencies" - you could queue jump if you had a dead person or a near dying person in your vehicle, at which point you would be allowed to jump the queue and get a full tank. Hence, for companies that required fuel urgently, there was a market to rent a dead body so that you could fill up your vehicle and stay in business. It's crazy but it actually happened.

@@KnakuanaRka thanks man, I did miss that

I never heard of muputi. I looked up a video of how it is made. Wow. Crazy.

Its still the same remember two months ago the rate went to 1 usd to 10rtgs. And currently it's siting at 7-8k rtgs.zimbabwe needs to remove zanu but not using elections. So many Zimbabweans migrating as nurse aides or cruise ship workers it's so sad

hahaha good old maputi! 😂

i dont think the rate was 1 to 10 2 months ago cos i was in zim last year june and the rate was much higher than that... maybe 1 to 300 or something like tha. i cant exactly remember@@Sataka23clips

Ooga booga

please do not

So you have electricity and internet as well as devices?

We quickly became a country of millionaires, billionaires and millionaires in no time

@@appleratpipewtf ? You think you funny?

I've heard that some former Rhodesian farmers went to Nigeria but haven't heard any stories about their experiences. Do you have any links? Anyway like going from the frying pan to the fire.

@@anthonyhavens6536 A lot went to the Kwara and most to Nassarawa. My associate died and we closed up shop. Many farmers gave up mostly due to Nigerian banks doing their own thing. I don't have any more information i'm willing to share. Cheers.

@@anthonyhavens6536sometimes even worse.

I love how as soon as the white people leave, everything falls apart.

That's nonsense. There are plenty of rich countries with very few resources. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Switerland, Belgium, Singapore and others have almost no natural resources but have good economies.

@@rogermurray7179 the reason for that is, that the people in those countries are skilled and motivated workers. the people are the most important resource for any country

@@rogermurray7179 Few "resources", yes. But the difference is all these countries already, at least the Asians ones since I am more familiar with them, already had all the additional things needed to succeed or already had succeeded. We were just lucky the governments more or less could keep things going as they already were.

@@rogermurray7179 no that is illogical, a countries prime resource is the people, if the people are gimme dats, like became in that country the "economy" soon follows.

when was that?

That is scary 😳😳😳😳

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you're in a safer country now!

Sounds like a burglary gone wrong like they have in South Africa. It definitely isn’t racially motivated

It's almost like the rest of the world is super racist and America is the best place in the world

The U S is about 10 years away

God left with the whites. Pretty obvious what the common denominator is here.

Why not stay and improve ur own country? Do u plan on bringing ur terrible voting habits with u?

Which country did you emigrate to? Best of luck to you and your family.
