Why would he agree to introduce this out of context dribble?

blablablayou can repeat "i'm right and you're wrong" as much as you want, you don't prove anything. Facts are more obstinate than you.

Ok, for one thing: Trotsky was a puppet of Stalin, Stalin and Hitler were in a sort of "ideaological" competition. That is, they had the same ideas but different ideological terms. Both countries were government controlled, it's just Germany's ethos was that of the white man, while Russia's was the Worker. Both countries' major capital was controlled by the government.The second point is this: Trotsky is naturally going to slate Fascism with capitalism. It's typical communist jargon.

Read Trotsky's pamphlet called Fascism: What it is and how to fight it. Germany was not socialist, and using what you just said I can assure you that small businesses were allowed to conduct themselves the way they did before the nazis arose to power.

Uh, Socialism by definition is a nationalization of private industries. That's exactly what Hitler did. The Nazi party wasn't called the "The National Workers Socialist Party" for nothing.

You don´t seem to know a damn thing about what happened in Chile.People like you feed the ignorance of the world, and by doing that you make it a little bit more easy for the extreme capitalists to fuck everyone up......Including you! exept if you are a multimillionare-corporate owning-capitalist-brat.

Allende was elected with less than 40% of the votes, this is not what i call "mass support". He had to make a pact with christian democrats to be president. He didn't respect this pact nor the constitution according to the parliament freshly elected by the chilean people 6 months before the coup d'Etat. Anyway, marxists have never pretended to be democrats so I don't understand why you want to conciliate both."If you don't agree with me you're a fascist". God, grow up.

"Allende was not respecting the constitution"Oh, and that's surely the only reason why the coup occurred. The constitution of a country is not always democratic; Allende was democratically elected and had mass support. That's democracy; if you disagree with it you're nothing more than a fascist.

I've spent most of my life working for myself, and love it. Could I do that in a socialist system? Fuck no.By the way, Webster defines SOCIALISM as: "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or GOVERNMENTAL ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods".COMMUNISM is defined as: "a: theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed."

Moreover Friedman never supported the pinochet political regime. He thought that greater economic freedom would lead to greater political freedom. It appeared he was right.Friedman also gave his views to the Chinese government. I guess it makes him a communist.
