To compare the American 'Left' (like me for example, you insulting pig)with stalinism(etc) is insulting, ludicrous, insane, and not not mention: simply wrong...

"And I can still find people around here with no trouble at all who defend Cuba*, "

One word, Tom: Lee

I throw you 11,500 organizations and people who back Fidel Castro, mere weeks after he crushed a crowd of dissidents, and you throw me Lee? You want to take another shot at that?

Those people ARE the "American Left." And yes, they are supporting Stalinism. The fact that you didn't sign the petition, nor did anyone else here (as far as I know) doesn't mean those people don't exist. If you'll notice, I don't think I directed any of those remarks about the American Left at you specifically. In fact, I was responding to SDAI's post.

I can find people who agree with there being space aliens, Yetis... I can even find people on the right wh long for Nazism and Nazi-like organizations.

When you find a widely-reported public petition on the Net with 11,500 people and organizations supporting Nazism, please point it out. I think I've pointed out in the past that one reason communism is so much more dangerous than Nazism in the modern world is because it is tolerated to a much greater degree in our society.
