Post #292,607 by JayMehaffey 9/9/07 11:06:15 AM Reply	Re: Stalin ad right-winger? I suspect we are running into a difference in definition here. To me, a lone dictatorship is a right wing political structure. A left wing tyranny would be something like the French Revolution, where a pure majority rules system is combined with a willingness to override yesterdays vote and to vote somebody to an execution.

Post #293,001 by Arkadiy 9/16/07 1:27:21 AM Reply	I thought the left wing defined by vilification of private property, egalitarianism, collectivism (how it coexists with cult of personality, I don't know but id does), worship of State. The places where extreme left wing (Marxist) people take power start out very much like your idea of "left", and end up with a dictatorship. ------ 179.
