Salvador Allende vs. Augusto Pinochet

No, in fact it's the single most significant thing. In the Cold War you had one side, which, although supported by some very flawed elements (such as Pinochet), had leadership whose ultimate goal was one that envisioned democracy, free speech, and free markets, that set about taking apart its worst creations at the end of said conflict; and another side that stood for total worldwide dictatorship, economic ruin, repression, and famine

don't you realize how easily this can be turned around?  'despite their faults, on one side you had a commitment to equality, the historical self-realization of the working class, economic liberation, an end to hunger and scarity; on the other, a dedication to exploitation by forced labor, control of the resources necessary for life by the few, false scarcity...'

Indeed, we've had posts arguing that any left-wing Latin American government no matter how corrupt and authoritarian is better than even a center-leftist if supported by the right.

Vosem, we don't want to know how much of a disgusting, degenerate excuse of a human being you are. We really don't need this knowledge in our lives.

But we do need your histrionics about Vosem.
