We agree this far. It's hard to fine many examples of good fascists. Juan Peron wasn't a stereotypical bad guy though and he still has many dedicated followers. Socialism, though, is all over the map. Willy Brandt was clearly a good guy. Pol Pot was about as bad as they come. Both considered themselves socialists. -- The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us. -Paul Valery, poet and philosopher (1871-1945) _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
