>Why did Namibia prevail when Rhodesia fell?
A huge part of the success of Namibia was that they had Rhodesia to give them an example of how bad things could get. By all means everyone expected SWAPO to go full Zimbabwe, but instead they ended up being surprisingly reasonable upon taking power. Sure, they still worked to perform land redistributions to fix the fact that the vast majority of usable land in Namibia was owned by a tiny white minority, but instead of taking the full-retard approach of Mugabe, they were more level-headed about it - hell, they wrote into their constitution that forced confiscations aren't allowed, and that the only thing they can do is buy land for redistribution.

It also probably helped that South Africa was much more effective at limiting SWAPO's presence to the northern extremes of the country up until 1991, and that SWAPO was the only group contending for the country, unlike the three-sided conflict Rhodesia experienced. And then you also had the fact that communism was falling just as Namibia gained its independence. Though SWAPO may have been full-on commies, they recognized that they weren't going to be getting any support from their friendly neighborhood Soviets for much longer, so they toned down the rhetoric to avoid becoming a pariah state.
>>

>taking the full-retard approach of Mugabe
Did Mugabe just force whites to give up their land under threat of death? He kept harassing them?
>>
>>1101569
>The anger from the black majority is completely understandable even if it's not justified

Yes I can understand why someone would be angry by being outperformed by a foreigner but what is tragic is that rather than use this anger to constructively improve oneself, the Africans destroyed that which they could not create.

Mugabe did a lot of shit wrong. A big part of what he did was forced confiscations of land from whites. While the confiscations were performed under the guise of undoing the massive wealth inequalities between the black and white population, the reality was that he did so more to punish dissenters while rewarding his supporters (land was usually given to supporters).

While taking land from successful farmers and giving it off to people who have little to no experience in farming had predictable effects (famine), that also played into Mugabe's hands. He'd been far from a popular person, only gaining power thanks to extensive voter suppression, primarily targeted at rival ethnic groups. This unrest continued past the end of the Bush War, and having economic hardship and famine only made things easier for him. He could divert food away from dissenters and use aid as a weapon by only supplying it to those who remained in support of him. By doing so, he could create a situation where he can maintain the facade of legitimacy by still holding democratic elections, but just making sure that any dissenters are too poor/starving to vote.

While Mugabe was a fairly extreme example of what could go wrong, it still served as a warning that Namibia and South Africa heeded - forcible redistribution may be an attractive prospect, but it opens the door to authoritarian practices that will ruin the country.

At first Mugabe was happy with a Willing Buyer, Willing Seller system whereby white farmers would only sell their land willingly, mostly to their black farmhands who actually knew about agriculture and how to run a farm. The Zimbabwean government would forcefully evict any black squatters and otherwise make sure the transition went smoothly. This was probably the best solution available. Agricultural output would remain about the same.

The trouble started when the War Veteran's Fund that Mugabe had set up to compensate veterans of the Second Chimurenga either ran out or was embezzled. The only valuable commodity that couldn't be exported and could be used to compensate the veterans was land, so the government put a lot of pressure on whites to "willingly" sell their land by generally making things difficult for them, but the clause nominally remained in effect. By this stage land was mostly going to soldiers and commanders who had no idea how to utilise or maintain it.

Bear in mind that these weren't really traditional subsistence farms, they were massive, modern operations and required a lot of skilled labor and administration to maintain. The Shona don't really have a tradition of growing crops, their traditional farming was cattle-rearing, which complicated the situation further.

Eventually the government started outright ignoring the clause and said that if whites didn't sell their land it would eventually be seized and they would be compensated with a much smaller amount of money than they would have got if they had willingly sold it.

Sure, when you misrepresent and outright lie about what historical societies were like anarchism looks great.
>>
>>1104187
There's no misrepresenting or lying. Sure, there has been virtuous and wise kings that have improved their subjects lives or a feudal lord who honorably treated his serfs, but regardless of any of their positive actions, they only rule because of force or the threat of it. They were and never were necessary, they leached from the people they ruled while fooling them into thinking they deserved to rule because God put them there, or nowadays, because they've fooled the people into thinking that individual criminals kill and cause more destruction than the countless wars throughout history or that thieves steal more than taxes that oftentimes is more than the person takes home.
>>
>>1104221
There have been states that ruled without the use of force imposed on the people.
>>
>>1104234
Then it would no longer be a state. Even true democracies impose force, just on a fewer number of people. Democracies are even more irrational, because it claims that its legitimate because people have consented to being forced to do things they didn't consent to.

I think fundamentally statist structures are necessary to preserve people's rights.

There's some data about causes of death in pre-agricultural societies, and somewhere around a third of males die to human violence. The right of liberty from a system of justice and taxation leads to a very rational violation of other peoples' rights to life and property - other groupings are equally free from oversight, and the only way to guarantee your own safety is to eliminate threats before they have the chance to eliminate you.
>>
>>1104274
States are not necessary to protect peoples' rights, oftentimes they aren't even effective at that. A close community would self moderate and deal with any disputes and any crimes without there being some bureaucratic system in place.

Even if the state was effective at protecting your rights, it would never stop there. An organization must always grow, it is inevitable. So what once started as a "night watchman state" eventually becomes something much more, especially since with the state comes the idea that certain individuals have authority and power over others that normal people don't have, this gives the individual with authority the idea that they are morally above others.

>refuse to concede to international rules
It's a shame when people don't do what a mob of outsiders tell them to do in their own house.

It's all political shenanigans, it has nothing to do with human life.

Look what the UN allowed to happen in Rwanda and then try to honestly tell me they give a fuck about how many Africans die, or how terrible their deaths are.

Everything world leaders do is for selfish political ends.

Rhodesia could be a nice place today if we hadn't allowed it to collapse.

South Africa could be a growing power instead of collapsing slowly into Rhodesia tier bullshit if we didn't help to ring in it's doom as well.

Whites are the best at fucking other whites, that much is certain.

He was too headstrong. He should've given equal rights, then hunted down the remaining ZANLA leaders. UN recognizes Rhodesia, economy and infrastructure remain strong, everyone is happy.

Portugals downfall is correlated to the lose of the colonies.

Africa would look incredibly different today if Rhodesia, South Africa and Angola were still under Colonial rule.

But no.

Like keeping a huge Coloured and Black underclass is batshit insane especially when you actively enact measures enforce it like they did in South Africa.

Ffs they unilaterally made a literal patchwork of Bantustand reserves that had India-Pakistan tiers level of borders.

Smith wrote in his memoirs that he convinced as many to stay as he could so the country wouldn't suffer economically, but Mugabe gradually redistributed their land and drove whites out at gunpoint. Mugabe had all of their guns confiscated as well, including Smiths.

My point is that we see the Roman empire as good entity,while the later colonial empires did basically the same. They exploited resources,but they also brought knowledge

Honestly I think Ian would've been screwed or hindered by the white voter base either way if he quashed the fighters early.

Hypothetically if he proposed to equalize the education disparites in funding that would piss the whites because their funding would be lowered.
Try to get blacks into the trades or semi skilled labour would really piss off the unions since depressing of wages.
Being near Sa assuming they kept apartheid would always provide Rhodesia the issue or being swamped by poor South Africans seeking labour and rich south Africans trying to turn Rhodesia into its bitch and puppet.
And trying to not piss off the interests of the old blood rich folk in Rhodesia because he could end up leaving his position his predecessor did.

It is,but you cant deny the similarities. It is obvious that the Belgian Congo wasn't treated as well,as South Africa,but the same could be said about Rome. There is not difference in what the UK did to Rhodesia,than what Rome did to Spain or Britain

Ian Smith was just another ignorant African Warlord, who ignored the tutoring of Europeans who tried to bring him civilization, immediately got himself involved in ethnic and tribal warfare, became a pariah state, plunged his country into economic and political chaos, and lost his grip on power.

Literally Idi Amin tier.

Just a heads up, I've uploaded that clip there alone with a few others (Enoch Powell [1969] and Oswald Mosley [1972]) so far, and will be uploading some others I have in the future, including some longer ones including Harold Macmillan, and George McGovern
