Opinion of Margaret Thatcher

My views on this matter are well known.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

She was the spawn of Satan, therefore some of us don't like her much.

Top twenty would be stretching it, but perhaps we can get her into the top fifty. If only to annoy her more devoted fanboys.

What's amusing about the morally bankrupt and strikingly dishonest arguments used by a certain type of idiot right-winger to defend Pinochet is the fact that the structure is exactly the same as used to be used by a certain type of idiot left-winger to defend the Soviet Union.

Is this supposed to be some biting criticism? Try again, bro.

No, it was just abuse. Your argument was so craven and morally and intellectually bankrupt that it did not deserve anything other than abuse.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

No, I was pretty clearly referring to the remaining (enthusiastic and orthodox, if a caveat is needed) Western Communists after 1956.

Genocide is not accurate, but mass murder certainly is. And the fact that that was what he was doing was well known at the time and impossible to deny.

Except whereas the right left Chile a prosperous, free nation with fair elections (after Pinochet left), the left left Russia with mass poverty, unemployment, corruption and misery.

Actually this is exactly the sort of bullsh!t argument that Stalinist idiots used to - and the ones still around still do - use to defend their beloved USSR! Stalin, it was/is argued, successfully modernised and industrialised Russia, therefore making everything else basically alright. It is a despicable and dishonest argument, of course, as is yours.
