It’s stuff like this that makes me realise how much better a head of state Thomas Sankara was than I’ll ever be though. Homie refused to use airconditioning in his office because it was considered a luxury in Burkina Faso.

I believe Suslov was another revolutionary figure who eschewed the privileges that he had access to on the grounds that if it was good enough for the masses then it’s good enough for him.
