Topic: Breaking News: Stalin and Mao were right wingers
I'm not kidding. This article is about a left wing commentator leaving MSNBC (very publicly) due to not wanting to play "lefty games" anymore, and for Chris Matthews calling him a racist for not being totally subservient to Teh One.
But the pure gold is in the comments.
The Real Royal King says:
March 5, 2010 at 3:17 pmChairman Mao, like Premier Stalin, were both fairly totalitarian guys. That is fairly rightist, whatever social or economic policy is being espoused/dictated. I know that is nuanced, but try to understand that.
The Real Royal King says:
March 5, 2010 at 3:35 pmI doubted you would understand, Writer. If you have ever read Marx and Engels, you would realize that what you call “Communism” is an economic theory and not a method of governance. A dictatorship is a method of governance and not an economic theory. Dictatorships has rightist roots, and, in fact, Republicans in the United States have a long history of supporting dictators throughout the world. C Street, a rightists organization and a Christian fundamentalist organization advocates a form of dictatorship known as an oligarchy.
It’s really a pity for you cogent ideas cannot be expressed on bumpber stickers or by a few acidic quips.
