A very important documentary showing that Idi Ami was indeed a vulgar socialist. Of course he didn‘t seem to have any understanding of socialist theory but he saw himself as a „revolutionary leader“ and he claimed he took from communism the policies for Uganda (only to say in the next sentence that they didn‘t follow any policies). He told his ministery to remove all capitalistic minded people.
His measures were also in tune with socialism. And by that I mean socialism as it exists in the real world. I‘m aware that intellectually there are many different theories of socialism most of which on the surface would not resemble Idi Amin‘s regime.
