- cocoricamo 4y agoNot only one but two. The first dude has Che Guevara and the other one Fidel Castro. I bet they'd be all riled up if someone used Mussolini or Franco as their profile picture.
- bee_rider 4y agoThey are open about not being interested in working with or federating with far-right groups, you don't have to make a bet.
- cocoricamo 4y agoIt was a comment on the irony of their profile pictures. It shouldn't be acceptable to glorify neither of: Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin, Fidel, Guevara, Hussein, Pinochet, Ceaucescu, Gaddafi, etc. My point is that authoritarian murderers are authoritarian murderers no matter their political affiliation and should not be glorified. You can be against one extreme without supporting the other.
- moshin 4y agoyou forgot to include Bush.
- cocoricamo 4y agoToo many people to list. Although I'd say the tag kind of fits, but Bush is in another category. All the people I mentioned had in common the persecution, imprisonment and execution of their own people at a massive level and maintained power by force. Bush went after other countries and was voted out in the end.

- s0l1dsnak3123 4y agoWhat a ridiculous false equivalence to make.
- cocoricamo 4y agoThey were almost the same in their practices, just happened to have different political ideas and better propaganda.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoFidel Castro, but yeah. And that's him watering it down for the public.
