Quote: wannabuyamonkey said:You're confused. A dictatorship limits the freedoms of it's countrymen it doesn't expand them, but then this is the same guy who thinks they voted comunism away in the former soviet union
Being admittedly unclear about one particular historical event (which I even asked if I was remembering correctly) is different than a debate on the concept of "freedom." The whole point is that people who are "free" have the right to make bad choices. If the people in a country believe communism is the best route and they voted for it, then that's their right to go that route. Our deciding for them who would lead their government is treating the people in the country like they're children.
Except that your error not only demonstrates that you're unclear on one historical example, but that you're unclear as to the principles and practice of communism. Even if you didn't know the specifics of that particular event, if you understood communism you would have been better able to guess what happened to end it. That's why a very wise man once said "How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."
