Was he a brutal dictator, or was he (somehow) not?

    I’m absolutely not defending him, but rather critiquing the Western obsession with black dictators. You really took “very imperfect” out of its context.

      Fair point, but he was… err pretty horrible, ngl LMAO

      Edit: I mean, I agree there is a Western obsession, but he was certainly “up there” In terms of evil. He also was staunchly anti-communist, though did it with a “Black nationalist” veneer at times (obviously it wasn’t, but you know how it goes).
