This is disingenuous. While 'anti-capitalism' is a very broad term, most people who call themselves anti-capitalists are united by one thing: their belief in economic democracy. Our biggest critique of capitalism is that it controls lives without giving us a say.  
 
Organisations like unions are a corrective. 
 
Mugabe is a dictator on his last legs, trying to shore up support. To attempt to link this to anti-capitalism is dishonest. 
 
But I recall that you don't have a very clear understanding of these things: aren't you the nut who proposed, a while back, that capitalism was the same as air? That we could no more live without capitalism than we could without air? 
 
Since you don't even know what capitalism is (a particular economic system largely characterised by the concentration of economic power in the hands of the few), I hardly think you're in any position to write about it.
