    I know It's one of those great 'what ifs' isn't it, if Lenin had lived for another 20 years...

      Hey, when was Fez banned??
      I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

        btw, I voted Mussolini as he modernized the country and refused to send italian jews in concentration fields

          *shudder*

          I voted Castro. He's vile, but his predecessors were even worse. And unlike, say, Lenin or Khomeini he didn't incite a coup against a weak but potentially good trasitional system, but went straight in, making him a direct improvement, however small.

              What's the reason this time?

                    Good Dictators:

                    Augusto Pinochet (Excellent Leader turned Chile into leading market. Was tough on Commies.. but which right-wing dictator isn't?)
                    Antonio Salazar
                    Rafael Videla (Just kidding... this guy didn't do anything besides kill 45,000 civilians)
                    Chiang Kai Shek (Only if he won against the commies in the mainland)
                    Pervez Musharraf
                    Francisco Franco (My favorite!)
                    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                      Who said Fez is banned ?

                      Yes, I agree with you about Pinochet and mostly about Franco also. Musharraf isn't great dictator in my opinion though.

                        I was unbanned.

                        Musharraf however is keeping things under control.

                          I'd say Franco, Pinochet and Fidel Castro. It's interesting that all the best dictators are from Spanish speaking countries.

                            Pinochet was a stadium filling murderous, economically bankrupt shithead.

                            Franco was also a ****** who wrote a book during the Spanish Civil War, instead of being a real general.
