  3. <Same Mobutu who together with Belgium and CIA killed Congo’s first prime minister Patrice Lumumba, who started to flirt with the Soviets, and the west wouldn’t tolerate that shih.> Who idolized and ran Zaire like a communist as he was not nearly as anti-communist as he was anti-Soviet. Mobutu admired and got his ideas from Mao. <What you’re attempting here is to frame the commies as the bad guys in a very slick way… you thought you ate. But am Angolan and awake… and tho I do not defend the MPLA… considering they abandoned their Marxist Leninist ideals in 1992…> Well, they were. And Angola became a kleptocracy like many other Marxist-Leninist countries after 1991 once the USSR collapsed and communism was longer en vogue.
