Dalrymple notes that the first fruit of the liberation of the former Rhodesia was
repeated massacres in Matabeleland.
The second fruit was
to turn a land of immigration into a land of mass emigration, thanks to corruption and idiotic economic policies — without any increase in individual freedom.
Liberation meant
only the replacement of white by black government.
The liberation movement
was fighting for power, not for freedom. The wish for access to power is not the same as the wish that others be free.
