Original Description
Mobutism was the official ideology of the Popular Movement of the Revolution of Zaire. This ideology was actually very close to fascism
This idea is laid down in the Manifesto of N'Sele, it defined Mobutism as an expression of Congolese nationalism, the rejection of tribalism and regionalism, and a revolution which called for the repudiation of both capitalism and communism in favor of a national revolution.
Mobutu led the MPR and Zaire as a dictator, and denounced the idea of multiple leaders and political parties in the country saying: "In our African tradition there are never two chiefs….That is why we Congolese, in the desire to conform to the traditions of our continent, have resolved to group all the energies of the citizens of our country under the banner of a single national party.
Yes, I know it was a kleptocracy in the later years, but they're Africans, what did you expect? They were pretty good on the first years, from what I've read.
Lyrics:
Zaïrois dans la paix retrouvée,
Peuple uni, Nous sommes Zaïrois
En avant fier et plein de dignité
Peuple grand, Peuple libre à jamais
Tricolore, Enflamme nous du feu sacré
Pour bâtir notre pays toujours plus beau
Autour d'un fleuve Majesté
Autour d'un fleuve Majesté
Tricolore au vent, Ravive l'idéal
Qui nous relie aux aïeux, À nos enfants
Paix, Justice et travail.
Paix, Justice et travail.
