#1 Here in Pretoria (where I’m currently visiting an old friend), scores of Zimbabweans can be seen at traffic lights and street corners ‐ desperately looking for something, anything, to do.

Can see the same in Chicago, Baltimore, et al. As the Prof says - Bastions of Donk politics for generations. Socialism/Redistribution works till you run out of other peoples' money.

Sure. In the same way mugger gets his victim's stuff. In the immediate aftermath of Communist revolutions and the subsequent expropriations, the poor got the kind of boost a thief gets from liberating his victim of his wealth. Then it all fell apart. Mugabe's expropriations were somewhat more gradual, so it took longer for Zimbabwe to fall apart economically.

#4 It's all a bit like Farm based marxism, with the inevitable death toll.
