Communism in theory: ”In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: Who does not work does not eat, has been replaced by a new one: Who does not obey shall not eat.”– Leon Trotsky, 1937.
Communism in practice: ”President Robert Mugabe has been accused of deliberately starving opposition supporters.It is alleged to be a tactic designed to force them to back him in Thursday´s election.The Archbishop of Bulawayo Pius Ncube told Sky News´ David Chater that emergency food stations were turning away those who did not support the government.He alleged that President Mugabe´s Zanu PF party members told those backing the opposition NDC party they would starve to death.” – Report from the Zimbabwean ”election”.
