One Man, One Vote, One Catastrophe

by Hannes Wessels


As a white man born and bred in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) who has watched events unfold both in my home country and in the African subcontinent, I look at the United States and Western Europe with a sense of having seen the same horror movie before. I fear my fellow palefaces abroad are rapidly heading for second place like we did, and for many of the same reasons.

Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith pleaded with an unsympathetic world to understand his call for a qualified franchise based on merit and not race. He told his multitude of detractors that universal suffrage was a recipe for disaster in a polity where the vast majority had only recently been discovered in a very primitive state before being suddenly exposed to Western Civilization with all its complexities and alien systems and values. He insisted it would be disastrous to rush the process. He asked for time to educate and inspire the populace to take their place in a sophisticated democracy, but he was universally damned. Just as he feared, a flawed election followed in 1980 under the auspices of a Thatcher-led British government. Robert Mugabe and his criminal cabal, poorly disguised as Freedom Fighters, assumed power and a catastrophe began to unfold.

Now many Americans and Europeans are having to confront the same paradigm. As the demographic winds of change blow stronger, the number of illiterates and itinerants grows at an alarming rate. Those that contribute the least to the common good seem set to seize and retain power at the expense of the minority that contributes the most. All this is thanks to the seemingly sacrosanct principle of “one man, one vote.” But just as in Rhodesia, that minority dares not voice its displeasure at this development for fear of being condemned to the special dungeons reserved for those committing the cardinal sin of “racism.” And they can be sure of this punishment because of the mainstream media, which so cunningly manipulates the minds of the millions of simpletons who have the vote and therefore the power to elect those who will serve their destructive purpose.

It is an excellent read. In the past, if there were uppity natives who threatened the white government of a British colony, the British Army was called in to 'enforce the laws'. The white government protected the local white plantation owners. The problem with that is that the masters are white and the slaves are black. The black slaves apparently want black masters. And they got one with Mugabe.

There is an excellent movie about the white farmers of Zimbabwe called Mugabe and the White African. Apparently, Mugabe confiscated land owned by the white farmers, and gave it to his friends, on the condition that they go and claim it and evict the white farmers. The white farmers took it to court but didn't fare too well in Zimbabwe's courts. Democracy is simply the rule of the majority which doesn't work well for whites in countries with non-white majorities. You can't pass laws that oppress minorities and expect to maintain a reasonable peace.
