Next is, what ? Opinion of Hitler ?

Your comparing Ian Smith, a man who was nearly killed whilst flying a spitfire in World War II, and who fought with French and Italian partisans against the Germans, to Adolf Hitler, an insane, degenerate anti-semite. I have no words to express my opinion on this.

Yes, of course, because being a veteran absolves you from all future deeds Roll Eyes

I still don't get how he is evil.

This genuinely surprises me. I am yet to be convinced he was a fascist.

I feel obliged to mention that Hitler was a World War One veteran.

My point is that Ian Smith wasn't a fascist. He didn't have to join the RAF to fight Nazism, but he did, and put himself at great personal risk.

Ian Smith was just a racist baby killer, who hated freedom fighters like Mugabe, who wanted to get rid of another regime which was just a Reagan white American stooge.

Of course, Mugabe wasn't (and isn't) that much of a nice himself. He's a dictator and a racist who can't even run his own country very well. Both Ian Smith and Robert Mugabe are/were terrible people.

At least Mugabe is justified in his racism. White people (me included) have a lot to answer for due to their rape of native peoples.

Are you saying racism is justified? Under any circumstances, it isn't.

Of course it is! As a self respecting leftist, he knows that racism expressed by ethnic minorities is good, as he thinks white people deserve it.

But he is white... I've never really understood AA either, so I guess it goes in line with that.

Then he's obviously insane.
