In light of recent events, it is without doubt the government of Zimbabwe cannot be replaced by another without shedding blood by the governed.
For over three decades Mugabe has exhibited a classic case of despotism and dictatorship through violence upon the very citizens he alleged to have fought for. Through sham elections, violence and intimidation, the obstruction of basic civil and human rights and outright cronyism and corruption, Robert Mugabe has clung onto power in the name of power itself with a fanatical psychotic lust. This dictator, not president, has been cajoled and ignored by the world in its atrocities. Although it is the business of Zimbabwe alone, the toll and extent of the barbarism has rendered not only the population exhausted, but has also destroyed its infrastructure, economy and society as a whole, and, at the very last of it, rendered peaceful resistance of tyranny useless.
There are many ways, means and times when a revolution can take place. The Britons with the Glorious Revolution, the Americans, the French, the Russians, Chinese, Italians, Germans, Egyptians, Iraqis, Turks, Nepalese and Indians all had their own versions. And in spite of the bloodshed and suffering in some, it resulted in a free land, from tyrants external and internal. Egypt and China may be an exception, but they are better off for the moment than being under dynastic puppets.
Some revolutions are quiet and bloodless, others are open and bloodless. Some are quiet and bloody, others are open and bloody. This is the time for open and outright bloodshed in the name of freedom by its people against the state, the state that Mugabe, the armed opportunist like Stalin, controls with a bloody iron heel. Monarchists whine and complain of the bloodshed of such revolutions, while whitewashing or ignoring or excusing their crown of choice’s excess bloodlust and gory exploits. This shows how Mugabe ruled like a king, and like all kings, they must end sometime.
For Zimbabwe, this is such a time. For the citizens to liberate themselves from the chains of the tyranny of one, the dictatorship of Mugabe. It is time for people, ordinary citizens and civilians to do everything and anything to gather the supplies and equipment, to form battalions and legions, to steal and kill for food and weapons and vehicles the same way Mugabe stole and killed for votes and silence. A far eye would cry foul, but foul is their cry for they speak in and above the clouds that hide the mists and rivers of the red of the oppressed, and none of it comforting. It is they, the people’s turn. It is their right to be free, to own their own land. And even if a revolution turns into a civil war, and lasts decades, this is the price of not fighting for a republic, a true republic, for freedom, but the price of at worst, denial and at best, delay, of such by tyrants, the price tyrants pay and the due course of such fiends who act so.
In times like these, the only way that democracy can be established is through mass armed struggle by the people against their tyrants. Mugabe deserves to die by the sword since he has ruled by the sword.
TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
