Quote: the G-man said: Which brings us back, one more time, to my point.
There has never, ever, been a communist government that wasn't a dictatorship. Communist dictatorships have been responsible for more deaths, more human rights abuses, than any other form of regime in history.
So, in the face of that, why do you assume Allende would have been the exception and not have ended up even worse than Pinochet?
Fine, I don't mind answering this again. I actually enjoy outdebating a lawyer repeatedly, even if it's on the exact same subject.
There was never a communist goverment before. There were only dictatorships. I think the "torturing and killing" part comes in the dictatorship handbook, not the communist manifesto. There's been more than enough dictatorships on the right, too... does that mean no goverment on the right is acceptable because it might degrade into a dictatorship?
