There is a long standing tradition on the internet that the longer a discussion goes on, the more likely it is someone will make a comparison with Hitler and the Nazis, usually ridiculously overblown - see Godwin's Law for more information.
Now it seems that comparisons to Robert Mugabe and his party ZANU-PF are being made with the same level of casualness. Consider this comment on And another thing...: Your man at Westminster:
Zimbabwe UK! From GuidoYes voters having to unfold the ballot paper (folded by a few helpful polling station officials because it's so long it's hard to get it in the box) is clearly comparable to the atrocities in Zimbabwe. Can anyone find more examples of these absurd over the top comparisons?
UKIP are complaining that ballot papers are being handed out folded over and people don't realise their name is over the fold. Supporters are complaining to their party HQ that UKIP were not on the ballot paper...
In more ways than one ZANU-PF are the new Nazis.

Your comment about Zanu-PF comparing them to new nazi's,is beyond comprehension.Nazi's were elected by democratic means in Germany and Zanu-PF was also elected by democratic ballot.
Nazi's got rid of Hyper-inflation,but it is the western world who are the cause of the terrible inflation,in Zimbabwe.
So I don't think you can compare the two.
