I posted this somewhat earlier, but this was just posted today on VICE (under their Asian channel). It deserves posting again.

(6,837 posts)What you are saying is like "we don't like son of Kim Jon Il but at least he's not a right winger." Chavez and Maduro aren't progressives.

(6,837 posts)I assume you like the Castro government and how progressive that government is too. How about Syria and Iran? Hugo and Nicolas are big fans.

(6,837 posts)Joe Stalin, Castro, Hugo, Kim Jon Il. All those great progressive leftists the world should admire. Who really needs things like a free press, stable currency, efficient government, security, low inflation, private property, food, and toilet paper when you can have Venezuelan style socialism?

(6,837 posts)when you can have the great leftist government of Venezuela?
I bet you love Castro's privatization too...

(6,837 posts)who doesn't swear an oath of loyaty to you a right winger. Nevermind that your economic polices is another example of failed marxism, and your social policies mirror the tea party.

(160,545 posts)They've been whacking away at it for years, in some cases. They hope to make so much disruption here leftists will simply give up and leave a message board created for progressive people.
By insisting THEY are the progressive ones, they hope to carve out careers as professional trolls, available for any rancid attack anywhere.
You can spot them a mile away, they turn themselves inside out posturing, fuming, mocking, throwing tantrums, red-baiting anyone who calls them on their congenital silliness.
Glad to see you, anyway. Of course, real Democrats here would appreciate your comments any time.

(770 posts)The video is about the Corte Malandra and crime in Venezuela. Discussing these facts isn't really right wing, is it? Or are all of us suppose to turn into trained seals and clap dutifully as pro government articles are posted? I like to write about regime corruption and the really dumb economic policies they use. They happen to be non partisan idiotic policies.
