So you think it was overall a bad thing that he fought against dictatorship in Portugal, Spain, and many South American dictatorship? You think the world would be a better place with more dictatorships, Pinochet-style leadership?
I understand you can dislike the FARC. I hope you have the same level of disdain for the Colombian paramilitaries and Government exactions.
"According to several international human rights and governmental organizations, right-wing paramilitary groups have been responsible for at least 70 to 80% of political murders in Colombia per year, with the remainder committed by leftist guerrillas and government forces."

- zigzigzag 10y agoWhat? Replacing one dictatorship with another doesn't solve any problems at all - it's literally not a fight worth supporting. How could anyone rationalise otherwise?
- Bootvis 10y agoTell me more about the dictatorships replacing Salazar and Franco. Honestly, I don't think you're judging the man fairly. You point out everything he could possibly have done wrong and completely ignore his good deeds.
