Allende was not a communist...
And no, having a coup against democratically elected leaders is not moral at all.
Couping nazis our would've been nice but I guess I'm the only one here who gives a shit about minority lives.
Edit also he was
Or you're the only one here with a vast misunderstanding of communism...
Even if reality is misunderstanding, I'm going to stand my ground here.
"I'm wrong but I'm proudly wrong so accept my authority"
Don't waste you're time my guy, read through his history, he's literally a moron. As in the medical definition.
Literally no one here has proven me wrong. And how can they, in reality communists have killed, are killing and will kill lgbtq+.
Everything else is just noise and denial. Sad state of affairs
Nobody will take the authority of someone who is on record in this very thread supporting a mass murderer.
I've literally never done anything of the sort, you liar.
I have never in my life supported any violent coups or putting mass murderers in charge by any means. You have on the other hand repeatedly done so in this thread alone.
Again, reality defies this sentence. Communism is inherently violent
In reality the dictator you've repeatedly expressed support for here killed thousands, while unlike you I've never supported any oppressive, mass-murdering government of any kind.
Actual murders trumps your fictional head canon any time.
And again, actual murders trump your fictional headcanon any time. This "it's for the good of everyone" argument is the traditional argument of fascists to justify dismantling democracy and hunting down political opponents. Every brutal dictator and their supporters think they are the heroes and project their own brutality on the people they murder while they leave a trail of blood behind them.
Please address the point I made instead of calls for violence against transgendered people. It's not too much to ask
I've addressed your points repeatedly, while you resort to fiction and defamatory lies.
This comment is the perfect example of how everything goes to shit in this world. It should be in a museum.
The Nazis were not voted into power by a majority. His appointment was undemocratic. They also suspended elections. That is a shit example.
And no, Allende was not communist. He was left leaning but he was far from a communist. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of the situation knows that. You are clearly just trolling.
They were
Perfectly in-line with the laws at the time.
After the fact.
"...has been described as the first Marxist to be elected president in a liberal democracy in Latin America.[9][10][11]"
"..create the society of communism which Marxists see as true democracy"
I'm literally reading wikipedia for you lmao. Try again after you read a book or two young lad.
The Nazis never got more than 37% of the vote. A majority is more than 50%. In their last election they got less than 33%. Hitler's appointment was not democratic. I don't give a shit of the laws if the Weimar Republic allowed it. That does not make it democratic.
We all know Wikipedia is the epitome of truth. 🙄 He was a democratic socialist by the time he was killed and never supported any sort of dictatorship. He was not pushing communism when he was president. Nationalization of basic resources, sure but that is a fast cry from communism. It is silly that the US even got involved. The Vuskovic Plan was failing and the next election likely would have resulted in a right wing government anyway.
You should give a shit what the democracy in weimar allowed, that's the point.
But you don't care about the conversation, you want to brainwash people into thinking commies don't want lgbtq+ killed.
When you are the only one here who is publicly stating your support for a coup that brought a mass-murdering lunatic into power you do not have the moral high ground on anything at all.
Second lunatic was way better than the first one would ever have been. Just because we never got to see what that specific fascist would have done to his people doesn't mean we can't see what other fascists have done and extrapolate from there.
So you're supporting an actual, proven far-right extremist mass murderer over a democratically elected leader who didn't kill anyone because in your head you imagines crimes he never carried out. That is the typical mindset of a fascist.
Better than the guy who refutably would have killed more :)
How do you give a shit about minority lives? You're defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.
Edit: fixed weird autocorrect
Fix your opinion next time.
There are rarely perfect options in politics. Anything is better than genocidal communists tho.
Allende was a democratic socialist and legitimized by a democratic vote, he was neither genocidal nor communist. Pinochet on the other hand was a fascist dictator who ended democracy in Chile and sent political opposition to torture/death camps. Please educate yourself about history instead of spreading such ridiculous falsehoods ...
Are you saying that the Nazis were communists?
No. But both nazis and commies are fascists, and should be treated as such
