If it's someone like Tito, then sure, I could deal with an authoritarian government. If it's someone like Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, Mugabe, or Qaddafi, then fuck no.Ah....Some of my family lives under Mugabe right now. And he's the reason I'm not living in Africa. <___<You've got Rhodesian family? Any interesting stories? Rhodesian/Zimbabwean history is fascinating to me.Yeah, my family's from Rhodesia. And I had several relatives who were in the Rhodesian Government, including Ian Smith himself. So, obviously we all had to leave once it became clear that the Government would lose the war as the terrorists committed a lot of reprisals. We kind of split all over the world. Most of us went to Europe or South Africa, but my mom's immediate family could only get into the US (Canada would have let them in, but they didn't want cold weather), so now I'm kind of stuck here for the time being separated from the rest of my family.And I have several interesting stories about it, yes.Would you be interested in making a thread about it? I eat this stuff up.
