Salvador Allende vs. Augusto Pinochet

[Marokai Backbeat]

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

Even if it had to bully, overthrow, murder, or declare war on everyone involved to get there. Three hurrahs for freedom, democracy, and justice.

It didn't have to, and that's not the point. The point is that we are better off today because it won, and while, say, Pinochet was terrible, it was still better than allowing Allende and his ideology to take root.

My problem with what you're saying is that you're quite blatantly admitting you think, when the chips are down, capitalism is more important than democracy. You're happier with capitalism by the barrel of a gun and the rape of a dictator squad, than marxism by democracy. Your priorities are perverse.

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.

I fully support bitching about supporters of murderous dictators, yes.
