To amend the social inequalities in our society and ensure the the prosperity of our country for our
future generations
by
Robert Mugabe
2002
My fellow compatriots. Our people have suffered and wailed under the oppression of
the white man since it stepped foot on our continent centuries ago. They have incarcerated,
enslaved, killed our people for far too long. Becoming independent of great Britain was not
enough to get rid of their domination. The minority white government of Rhodesia simply
transitioned power from one group of white men to another group of white people.
Fortunately we were not naive at the intentions of our enemy, and we fought bravely to
Yet to this day the White man has managed to maintain its advantage over our people.
Most of the arable land is still in the hands of the white minority, which has been inherited to
them by the colonialist pigs. Zimbabweans are robbed from the opportunity to live of their
native soil, and the cycle of poverty they have been stuck on since the colonial period
continues. Do not be fooled by Britain's “Willing Buyer Willing Seller” policy. It represents
nothing more but the willingness of imperialist scum to protect their nation's interest even
We also face the responsibility of maximizing harvests to feed our nation. Not even
half of the land we’ve acquired is plantable (no wonder the white man has willingly given us
that land), and the few farmers which are willing to resettle lack both the technical knowledge
and infrastructure required to work it. To this day hundreds of thousands of our brothers and
sisters still live, unable to benefit from special favors given out by my party to our loyal
contributors.
Say no to white people owning our land. Africa is for africans, therefore we must
acquire this land. However, we must incorporate a new measure which to go hand in hand
with land acquisition, otherwise this enterprise is doomed to failure. I’ve come up with a final
solution to bring a new age of economic prosperity and defeat the White man once and for
all.
We will give the White man a taste of his own medicine, and institute slavery as a
viable method for Zimbabweans to acquire white people and work their land for them.
This measure will effective immediately remove all arable land in the hands of the
up the entirety of the white population to be commercialized among the settlers. This will
serve the practical purpose of applying white people’s knowledge on how to work the land
for the benefit of our compatriots. It will also eliminate the possibility of White people
fleeing and taking with them the machinery, infrastructure, and funding required to work this
land.
The white man will dedicate his work time to repaying the debt he owes to
will suffice to provide 50,000 families with one male and one female each. From there on, the
white slaves will reproduce and add to the labor force available to either work the land or be
experiences first hand the pain our ancestors had to endure. He will be submitted to this
treatment from childhood so that we can stifle any possibility of rebellion. Zimbabweans will
be free to release all internal anger on his slaves, which I consider to be a reasonable
measure. The government will not sanction any white killings sprouting from this practice,
There is one final condition for this enterprise to fully succeed. I will hereby be head
of state to supervise the development of this project till its completion. I'm the mastermind
behind this measure, therefore I need to closely monitor the project to prevent Its failure. I
also require the possession of the gubernamental power necessary to realize this public
service without disruption. Regard anyone who opposes this measure as nothing else than
race traitor saboteur who wishes to go back to serving our white oppressors. We will take any
means necessary to prevent this from happening, since a challenge to my authority is a threat
to the collective freedom of Zimbabweans. Only god himself can remove me from my office.
Our future generations will prosper from the the decisions we make in this very day
Firstly, the land will be exploited to its maximum capacity, causing an unprecedented
expansion in our agriculture focused economy, from which zimbabweans can actively
Secondly, Poverty will be greatly reduced, since the land once in the hand of white people
will distributed to Zimbabweans, receiving the benefits of white people working their land.
Thirdly, our GDP will grow vastly and will place us as a continental powerhouse to
assist our poorer neighboring countries, consolidating African’s power on our continent
Fourthly, our population will have moved on from the psychological effects of
centuries of racial, and will have the complete freedom of taking away their anger at our
white oppressors.
Fifthly, there will be no possibility for a white man to abuse his freedom and put
himself over a position of power over Zimbabweans. Furthermore, they were pay for the
Sixthly, we will set an international standard on for our African brothers and sisters
on how to get rid from the shackles of oppression and take their revenge agaisnt the white
race, causing a worldwide revolution to seize power away from the White Man.
Seventhly, our more loyal supporters will have a preferential treatment when
acquiring land, therefore consolidating the power I need to protect ourselves from the white
man
I wish that none of you are sufficiently naive to feel uncomfortable with the idea of
effective immediately stripping away the white man from his human identity by turning him
into a slave. To those who indeed feel uncomfortable, fear not: The White Man lost the
privilege of being treated as a human being the second he was born with the skin color that
was behind the suffering and oppression of our people. He is therefore destined to a life of
work and torture. Never again will we the African people be submitted in their own
motherland.
I’m expecting the British apologists to squawk with rage over the treatment of their
fellow invaders in our territory. They will probably bring up how even though they were
once the owners of one of the most vast and oppressive empires on the world, they made
progress by abolishing slavery in their colonies. They will also highlight that this happened in
a majority white empire, so it would be absolute nonsense to judge people by their skin, and
rather prefer to be judged by their character. Being an important world power, it set an
Make no mistake, this was nothing else but a petty compensation to black people.
They wanted to satisfy us halfway in order to not break out in a generalized revolution and
threaten their power over us. Even after slavery was abolished, we zimbabweans were still
treated like third class citizens until we toppled them over. The White Man will always have
as his central objective to gain power through the oppression of our race. The entire western
civilization is built upon that principle. The paleness of the skin of a person is enough to
reveal the violent nature held within a person. A recent study realized by the WHO shows
that white people aren’t able to feel empathy the same way we Africans do.
position of power. They will probably be wondering how can I be fighting for the freedom of
Zimbabweans when I will not tolerate any dissenting voice. As I already said, I need to
supervise this project closely, or otherwise this project will fail, in which case our nation will
face collapse. If our nation collapses, we will face the danger of finding ourselves again
under white oppression. My oppositors now this, yet they feign ignorance as they keep
advocating for the interest of white people. That why I will reward greatly those who have
Now that I have presented you with my plan, I will put it into practice immediately.
We must move beyond racism and racial hatred caused by the White Man, and take eternal
revenge on him and his descendants for their racism towards Africans.
Satirical Devices
Invective: I wanted to criticize the injustices that were committed by the white minority,
While at the same time I wanted to criticize Mugabe’s monstrous character. Mugabe said
both quotes highlighted in green in real life, and has advocated for violence.
Understatement: I wanted to portray the absolute distrust Mugabe (and black socialism)
shows toward white people, to the point of diminishing the value of their lives since they
happen to be white
Reversal: I focused my essay on reversing the roles between white people and black people
as slaves in the modern setting. This facilitated me providing justification for this plan of
action, since Mugabe is extremely nationalist and socialist. He justified his policies agaisnt
the white minority by focusing on it as a struggle between the two ethnic groups, white’s
oppresing and black’s being oppressed. He stepped over many human rights in the process
and advocated for violence, so even though my proposal is still outrageous, it is not very far
Irony: Here I wanted to portray one of the major hypocrisies of the ideology of cultural
marxism. What cultural marxism (black socialism being a branch) as an ideology proposes is
to perpetuate hatred and inspire conflict between ethnic groups, since once has power and
oppresses the other. One doesn’t simply solve racism by inspiring even more racism and
Incongruity: Since marxism divides people into different classes pitted in a fight agaisnt each
other with, “Class” would imply that a group holds similar degrees of power with many
Categorizes people based on race, giving people of a certain race similarities in attitude. Only
problem with this is that attitude and character isn’t determined by Skin color.
