    Neera, does this look like authoritarianism to you? Something the Global Community should do something about, to protect the people of Zimbabwe (who I believe are crying out for help from the West)?

      I mean, it’s obviously authoritarianism. The government will subject the poor to horrible conditions. We’ve protected the people of Zimbabwe from Mugabe with sanctions, and it seems we have to step in here as well. If we don’t advocate for the poor, imperialistic China will step in, and impose borderline slavery conditions on workers
