"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

From reader, Rich Cook, you know a Stalinist regime is bad when even Pravda is forced to call them murderous.

The administrative Secretary of the ruling ZANU-PF party in Zimbabwe, Didymus Mutasa, has declared that the country would be better off with six million of its citizens dead. Now the government is distributing food only to Shona speakers, condemning the populations who voted for the MDC to death by starvation. Robert Mugabe’s ZANU-PF regime is a murderous, evil clique comparable only to the world’s worst tyrants, such as Pol Pot, Bokassa, Idi Amin and the CIA’s former protege, Suharto.

Mutasa declared to the press during the weekend that “We would be better off with only six million people, with our own (Shona) people who support the liberation struggle. We don’t want all these extra people”. By “extra people” Zimbabwe’s leading civil servant means the people who live in non-Shona-speaking areas, who in their majority supported the opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change.
