Did you know we were on the same side as the Soviet Union in World War II?

It’s true.

You can look it up.

Of course it was only a matter of expedience in winning the war against Germany, but heck we did it.

Once America decided the next big war was the Cold War against Communism, we formed fair weather alliances with right wing dictators in order to keep all the left wing dictators in check.

And you think you’re surprising people here by pointing this out?

Really?

Grow a brain, would you?

“I haven’t seen Spain’s book yet, but I’ll give it a fair shake, artwise at least. After all, I enjoyed Jack Jackson’s art even though I didn’t always agree with his ideology.

As for Che, I don’t think much of him at all. He was to Castro as Goebbels was to Hitler — a loyal, shrewd, ideologically similar, go-to henchman.

BFD.

He, Castro and their followers kicked out a bad government and replaced it with one that was actually far worse. The only thing good you can say about Che is if he hadn’t sold Cuba’s soul to the USSR for decades of financial aid, the Cuban people — who, despite what Michael Moore says, have a crappy standard of living (especially compared to the good ol’ pre-revolutionary days) — would be living in the stone age.”

Still not getting your point. I must be a mouthbreather. Simply because you believe George Washington to be a psycho killer worshiping Che is a moral equivalent and therefore not worthy of criticism? Help me out here. If that is the case you are devoid of morality not because you think George Washington was a butcher but because you are unable to judge that slaughtering innocents is evil.

Again, I’ve seen no one involved in this discussion champion any acts of brutality by Pinochet or any other tin-pot and if you are suggesting that I do I find that offensive.

My point is straight forward and you may choose to ignore it but where are the popular celebrations of right wing psychopaths? Why is it socially acceptable to champion dead homicidal maniacs that happened to be communist?

Your first post is absurd in the context of the article and discussion. Next time a right wing sycophant creates a heroic graphic biography of Hitler I expect you to be there making your meaningless points in some blog critical of its contents.

I must be missing something; where are the Roberto, Jonas and Augusto t-shirts, masturbatory films and other honorary nostalgia? What was your point again? Che was a psycho and should be in the same dust bin as other psychos.
