Or to put it another way, the democratically elected leader, or the brutal dictator?

The Freedom Fighter, Pinochet. Allende looks like he just crapped his pants.

They're both pictures to which I express no real emotion whatsoever, so I don't really care.

BRTD's

Pinochet was installed by the CIA, so he's an uber-HP. Allende is a Freedom Fighter.

When I first saw Jake's sig, I thought it was Count Metternich from the 19th Century, I don't know why, I just did.

BRTD's.  Not only do I like Allende better, I also find Jake to be an idiot.

Also I like Allende's high forhead.  We all have high foreheads in my family.  Pinoche looks like a morlock, and besides anyone in a military uniform is bad news.

Well, Latin American politics...I guess they're all crooks, or at least that's very likely... Sad

They're all a bit dangerous, but give me a Pinochet over a Chavez any day.


Quote from: opebo on September 13, 2004, 08:35:22 PM
Pinochet, of course.  He's head and shoulders above these others.

Quote from: Realpolitik on January 19, 2004, 03:18:44 PM
If "saving" a country from "socialism" is an excuse for setting a coup d'etat that leads to a fascist dictatorship how come the same was never done to Sweden?

Thinking about that, opebo, do you think that the murder of Olof Palme was justified?

This will be an interesting answer...Sweden was a western country, though, and we weren't THAT socialist. But it's still a good point. Where do one stop? France would probably be a much better example, they left NATO, courted the SOviets, and tried to nationalize the banks.

Gustaf, Realpolitik,

US intervention, as in Chile, should be primarily to benefit US interests, not merely to oppose socialism in principle (though it is in principle an evil, imo).  But as far as within the country itself I don't see how you can blame the Right - and more to the point property owners - from trying to defend themselves against 'democratic' expropriation by whatever means necessary.  In this extremity one is lucky to have a Pinochet to turn to.  The thought that the majority of the 'people' voted to rob you of your property is no comfort at all - you will still fight for it if you can, including by a forcible coup, removing the socialist regime if possible.

nevermind the smell.  it is just more of opebo's bs.   

yeah he is real authenic.

I sure did, and so might WalterMitty.  He has moved a little bit left in the time he has been on the board I think.

Anyway I'm a great example that there is hope for any economic right winger.  I doubt there is for the social conservatives, so go ahead and feed those to the lions.

may I suggest putting them in candiru fish ponds? (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru for more info on the candiru). Its more painful than feeding to lions and the infection caused by the fish's presence in the urethera/anus is fatal unless treatment is done.

of course views evolve over time.  mine certainly have evolved (for better or worse)

however, in opebo's case, he is a man in his late 30s who woke up one day and was the complete opposite of what he was the day before.

Opebo just claims to be the opposite of what he was before. He may have openly been for anarchocapitalism  in the past but even now he's still elitist and condemns "workers". The only thing that changed is that he stresses his social views now instead of his other views.

No, my social views are the same as before.

How do I 'condemn' workers, Straha?  I may pity them, but I do not condemn them.  It would be rather ridiculous to condemn or otherwise blame the powerless.

It is true that most of them are stupid, and prone to hubris and self-destructive political positions.
