[Marxism] Western intervention put Zimbabwe into an economicstraitjacket

[S. Artesian]

James,

So everything said in this article, about the manipulative economic 
pressures of the IMF is correct, and.... so what?

There is economic collapse of Zimbabwe.  What is the solution?  Opposing 
sanctions?  We ( figuratively, I am not speaking for anyone else) oppose 
such sanctions.  No one here is arguing for sanctions or for an invasion of 
Zimbabwe.

Is there or is there not a real, social, basis for workers' and the poor 
class struggle against ZANU-PF?  The MDC does not represent that struggle in 
its full development.  It is riddled with "liberal," pro-capitalist 
elements.  But what do you expect?  A full blown self-conscious Marxist 
movement from the gitgo?   Never happens that way. Would we have opposed 
support for the struggle of Polish workers in 1980-81 because Solidarnosc 
was riddled with pro-capitalist, pro-church elements and a pro-capitalist, 
pro-church leadership? Would we, or you, have supported Jaruzelski?

 Does supporting Mugabe, arguing that opposition to ZANU-PF cannot be 
supported because it feeds into the pro-West hysteria,  do anything to 
advance that "self-conscious" class struggle?
