RHODESIAN REPORT 

If cash crops and other agro products , for exports, were the reason for it being a “bread basket”, i wonder why the villages and settlements outside the city were flush with food and money 😂. Keep convincing yourself it was a bread basket. More like a slave plantation.

Until they stole your productive and exporting farms. It honestly makes me sad for what you honorable people went through while the Snivilized world, who has never worked a day on a farm or earned their keep went hungry. I wish you the best and know thats not much

Productive farms also existed in South Africa (the wealthiest and most powerful country on the continent) and in Angola and Mozambique when they were ruled by Portugal.

Removal of sanctions imposed sourly to ensure black rule fail is what caused the collapse in the first place, like the west tried to do to Russia & Japan

Indeed, and it's not even intrinsically good for majority to rule anyways - assuming it's even possible. On the one hand, if "democracy" as such really works, the morality of it is still questionable. If there's 5 people on an island and 3 of them "vote" to abuse the other two - is that just? But perhaps more important than that is the simple fact that "majority rule" simply isn't how human society ever works. One way or another there will be a governing political class, and they will be a minority in some fashion. Democratic and socialist states that purport to give the most power to the masses seem to often do just the opposite, and end up being more exploitative and oppressive than even a typical monarchy, as the governing class simply passes through their positions of power milking it for all it's worth for them personally, while the sprawling bureaucratic nature of those regimes shields them from any accountability or sense of duty towards the broader nation. Part of the problem, I think, is that we've tied up our love of our own peoples, culture and heritage with political representation - it's possible to flourish as a people and maintain and even build up your culture, ethnic group (or what have you) while being largely governed by an ostensibly foreign people. In the case of Rhodesia, the average black African communities living in those regions could do a lot worse than white Rhodesians as governors, and it really did seem like those whites had every intention of building up the black natives and including them in the political process and forming a kinship with them as countrymen. They weren't actually that racist, it seems - just realistic about the best path forward to uplift all Rhodesians, including the black Africans and undeterred by the uncomfortable truth that the native population simply wasn't yet capable of administering and maintaining the sort of society that most everyone actually wants. And if it's so appalling and terrible that a native black African should accept and even submit to the stewardship of white europeans - why then do they today flood by the millions into white western countries? How is that better? If they want the western way of life but are also proud and loyal to their people and heritage, wouldn't it have been better for the westerners to bring it to them, in their own homeland, where they could secure a promising future for their descendents while maintaining their own roots in their own homeland? Can't one make a convincing argument that this would be better for the preservation of their people and culture than jumping into the melting pot of modern western europe and north america where they'll just be another migrant group among many? Particularly since that very process of mass migration into the west is completely sabotaging precisely what made the western world a desirable place to live??? It's all just so demoralizing to see how this played out. The harsh truths that must be faced to truly bring about good things for peoole were on display in Rhodesia, and had they gone down a different path it could have been a valuable lesson about the folly in many of the modern liberal, socialist, and self-determination type ideas. Had Rhodesia survived it's not hard to imagine that the whole world could be a different place today.

@@janellek21 Well you asked for reasons ,didn't you? And no, there was no coup in Libya. Gadhaffi was not killed by political rivals. The information is plain for all to see, he was killed in a coordibated collective NATO invasion on a sovereign state. The country has since been in decline and if you care, they did it for selfish reasons. Zambia's industries were killed by the IMF's austerity measures in which they ended up buying all of it's mines and industries. This is a country that had very little corruption by that time. Zimbabwe was heavily sanctioned for 2 decades, rendering their currency useless. France still controlled (and still does) much of it's former colonies through the CFA franc in which these countries paid a collective $500 billion. "...but that was in the 60s" lmao and what difference does it make? The country was robbed of a strong start.

@@xc8487 That might be true. Just might. But it doesn't make it a world class economy. And, by the way, being a mining export country doesn't mean it was a "manufacturing powerhouse".

Yeah, I live in Florida and I could never afford the lifestyle of a black Rhodesian in the 1970s.

That's what Ian Smith wanted - a 'universal' franchise but based on education levels. E.G. Get your 'A' levels and you can vote. Would have stimulated education for the masses and ensured that the people who would one day take over their country were educationally qualified to do so. Nice dream, but it wasn't to be thanks to do-gooders (like the current POTUS).

@@alastairhenderson6709 Did you have to have an A level to vote if you were white?

@@AngloAm No, but I see where you are going with this! The only thing I would say in defence of 'uneducated whites' having the vote, is that they managed to vote in a Government that didn't strip the country to the bones while at the same time lining their own pockets. The Rhodesian Front didn't have 'absolute power' like Mugabe and his successor. As the old saying goes ''Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely''

@@AngloAm No, the vote was open to all Rhodesian citizen whites regardless of qualifications. I can't defend that other than to say that 'most' whites were fortunate enough to have an education to about GCSE level whereas many blacks, through no fault of their own, didn't have secondary education to that level. As an aside, as a Brit. I personally didn't have a vote in Rhodesia and neither did I have one in South Africa when I lived there

Because that's the same result lmao you've learnednothing"educated blacks" hahaha the most well educated and civilised are on par with chinese peasants

Just like in the US until 1948. Black officers were not allowed to lead Whites in combat. In contrast to people of other descent. Native Americans, Japanese Americans, Hispanics etc. Although the Japanese also fought in segregated units. The 442nd Infantry Regiment, composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry, is the most decorated unit in the history of the US Army!

It's always some small elite group that runs a country.

​@@WiseOwl_1408Exactly right - it's never ever been anything different anywhere ever. The only difference is the revolutionary regimes lie to the people about that reality.

Every country everywhere is minority rule. It's the nature of governance. What's unfair is that the blacks and whites of Rhodesia had their standard of living collapsed completely and their future hopes for their descendents trashed because of sophmoric ideas about justice. That Zimbabwe is 100x worse off now than Rhodesia would have been had it been allowed to exist was an entirely predictable outcome that everyone could see coming. It wasn't inevitable, it could have been avoided, and it was entirely an immature attitude about how civilization is developed that caused it. Today Zimbabwe is ruled by a minority of kleptocratic communists who do everything possible to worsen the conditions of the common people. If the fact that this minority more closely resembles (at least in a superficial racial way) the broader people of the nation is somehow more "fair" and "just" than a situation that was actually condusive to the flourishing and progress of these people, then I wonder if we shouldn't rethink what "fair" and "just" really mean.

No you can no longer find it, instead in its place you will fund a 3rd world disaster being sucked dry by China.

Blacks always lie!

What a success... I've got a genuine question about this whole "white supremacy" thing - are you going to sit here and deny that the white Rhodesians were not objectively better at administering and maintaining a society and government that was ultimately more condusive to the flourishing of all Rhodesians - obviously including blacks - than the Zimbabweans have turned out to be? And consider what actually happened to these people when it came to standard of living through the transition - the white Rhodesians largely escaped the communist menace and went on to continue to live largely prosperous and comfortable lives in other European countries. Their descendents as well. The black Rhodesians however saw a massive collapse in their standard of living, and it is the case that black Zimbabweans today know a life much more cruel, deprived, difficult and dyafunctional than their own grandparents did as black Rhodesians. This is quite simply the reality, regardless of how it affects peoples' sensibilities. I think atheist liberals and socialists recoil at acknowledging these sorts of truths because they think it means accepting racism as true - but it really doesn't. These European colonizers were largely Christian, and Christian tradition and thought easily explains these sort of phenomenons - I think in a way that is true. We are a fallen world, and the fundamental mistake that atheist socialists make is to believe that humans left unhindered and totally free in our most natural state are fundamentally good and that all that keeps us from heaven on earth are the various "oppressions" (tradition, patriarchy, colonialism, racism, etc) that hold us back. The truth is that all of us - whites very much included - are only a few bad habits away from being primitive savages, killing and looting one another and living in squalor and chaos Civilized society is the exception, not the rule, and it requires institutions, traditions, customs, and long developed cultures to maintain. White Europeans can of course trace their own ancestry back to a time when they too lived like savages - short, violent and difficult lives. But over time civilization can be fostered and developed, and for whatever reason when it came to whites settling and colonizing parts of Africa - they were just further along in the development of civilized society than the nativr africans were. It doesn't necessarily speak to any innate unchangeable superiority or inferiority of one race over the other - just the circumstance that their people are in at a given point in history. And as the Roman Empire brought civilization and flourishing to many white European barbarians who would be living backwards primitive lives had they not been conquered by Romans - Rhodesia is just an example of white europeans doing the same for parts of Africa. To take it personally or feel insulted or insecure about this is to miss the big picture and to lack in humility before God. But these black Africans and their communist and liberal enablers in Europe tore down the best shot those Rhodesians had of lifting up their people to a level of flourishing that today they emigrate OUT of Africa by the millions to attempt to find. They literally escape Africa and go into Europe specifically to be ruled by whites they drove out of Africa... How does that make sense? How is that better? Especially since that mass migration into the weat is tearing down precisely the sort of society and culture that made the west a desirable place to live.

@@buckodonnghaile4309 Yes, those don't define life and it is not all developed countries that invented the wheel, written language, etc. Agriculture is as old as civilisation and Africa is the cradle. So go and believe that lie you are told.

The myth of the ‘rushed independence’: of the roughly 50 African countries which were occupied if not outright under the control of a foreign power: a little over half gained independence within the brief span of two years between the years 1960 and 1962. History buffs may recognize this window as not only the erection of the Berlin Wall, but also the start of the South American theatre of the Cold War with the Bay of Pigs invasion. The west at that point (and largely to this day as well) was operating as a single political bloc. Was it in their best interest to ensure these distant lands received adequate transitional governments while the threat of a nuclear armageddon loomed over the horizon? No. The nature of war had changed. Prior to this era, Africa was to the West as Egypt and Sicily was to Rome- a breadbasket and pool from which to draw new soldiers, the so-called ‘colonial troops’ which formed the bulk of every light division in both world wars. Is it any surprise that these countries, whose entire existence was geared towards either producing surplus goods or manpower, would be ill equipped to run a fully functioning democracy on their own? They had no mints with which to produce their own currency, meaning their economy was tied to the now discontinued colonial coinage (CFA franc, African-British pound, etc). The name of period is obscure in popular discourse but it is generically called the ‘interregnum years’: that is to say, the period in between cessation of colonial mints and procurement of a new national currency. Finally, I do not believe education is the great equalizer. I believe wealth is. An educated African gets a new visa and becomes another educated British, or American, or whatever.
