Imagine,You were a Cuban who has fled his beloved Cuba. You went to the US.There, you are constantly meeting young people sporting Che, the murderer of some of your family, on their clothes.You explain to them your feelings.You are called a "heartless" fascist.Che and Fidel, they are secular saints.There are also secular devils,especially for a certain kind of left-leaning liberals (who seem to lack some education).F.e Pinochet. So lets compare Pinochet and Che.Pinochet had the support of many Chileans who saw their earnings dissolve into thin air thanks to Allendes reckless spendings. During Pinochets regime around 3000 people disappeared or were killed,quite many ofthem (but not all,some were extremely unlucky) communist sympathizers.This is somewhat tragic,why were they not just incarcarated? but in Cuba, over 20 000 were murdered by Che and the Castros, sometimes for as little as being religious or opposing the collectivization of their land.The death sentence, which is still in use today in Cuba,was abolished under Pinochets regime. In Cuba, homosexuals were send and are still heavily discriminated against, which is not so the case in Chile, where homosexual people can and are openly demanding recognition-one day, they will surely get it in this CATHOLIC country (btw, catholic countries, such as Poland,Spain,Italy, were the first one to stop throwing homosexuals into prison.go figure :-D s.th to be proud of).In 1988, Pinochet stepped down peacefully-today, Chile is a vibrant democracy.And Cuba? In Chile,Pinochets regime launched massive economical reforms-Today, Chile is the most developed state in South America-and Cuba? My friend went there, it is in SHAMBLES,the people are demoralized (kind of like the Polish,Romanian,Bulgarian ect. Nation),prostitution and drug usage is rampant,as is corruption. <br /><br />But yes, Pinochet is a devil. So dear hippies, keep on wearing St. Che gear.Mieszkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-46773443168789070612012-07-06T06:05:27.436-04:002012-07-06T06:05:27.436-04:00Great work Danusha.

He's still up on posters in present day "immigrant support" organization offices in places like Arizona, visible in news reports. No one mentions it. He's just there in the background on a poster. Yes, and that family would have had to have good access to a Pewex to have that food display before the fall of Communism. <br />MBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-47924685158642526242012-07-05T15:17:10.055-04:002012-07-05T15:17:10.055-04:00I CANT stand the face of this narcisstic,cowardly ...I CANT stand the face of this narcisstic,cowardly mass murderer being paraded around-I know, its like a canvas people project their real, good feelings onto (to give it face and form) but STILL.The same goes for Mao. Id like a Che-style t-shirt with a real hero, like Witold Pilecki. Anyone there to design one?Mieszkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-21956585263229755862012-07-04T14:53:09.883-04:002012-07-04T14:53:09.883-04:00Thanks.

I do think this is because, rather than being against the previous order, it is for the future.Margaretnoreply@blogger.com
