Reply #63: I'm not quite sure

why you seem to have synthesized these issues into a case of "either/or". It appears that you believe one can not oppose neoliberalism without an automatic assumption of support for Mugabe and his methods - as far as I can tell, you were the first to bring Mugabe into the discussion: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1244440#1244646. :shrug:

I am opposed to neoliberalism, I am opposed to the violation of human rights - it's not a matter of choosing between the two. Neoliberalism is, in effect, a violation of human rights on a grand scale. I can support specific policies of certain leaders and disagree vehemently with others.

Regardless, you can bet your bottom dollar that any human rights violations Mugabe is accused of (or guilty of, for that matter) would be completely ignored and/or dismissed in the corporate media if he toed the appropriate line.
