Thai populist subsidies prices Thai rice out of competition, Thai farmers suffer

Oh man. I wonder how this will be spun by the Thaksin defenders who kept insisting the opposition* was fascist.

*Something I noticed a couple weeks ago is that the US Democratic Party and Thai Democrat Party share something else in common besides a similar name: Both belong to the same international affiliation.

So, if I get your logic right it works like this:

Party A supports state intervention in markets.

Party B opposes Party A.

Hence, Party B cannot be fascist.

Surely, your above post is incredibly stupid even by your standards?

No I'm just saying this illustrates why the opposition are better.

That's not what you said. You said that this somehow would prove the opposition not to be fascist. Which is retarded. Of course, both sides in Thai politics are bad. No one ever contested that.

It's also amusing that you are suddenly such a free-marketer. One might almost think that your enthusiastic support for the Thai reactionaries was not based on any ideological analysis.
