Why are illegal governments and coups only acceptable to right wingers when they support their interests? (party, examples)

[Kenneth-Kaunda]

another great double standard of the modern era.

Coups by rightists = good

coups by leftists = bad

notice the hypocrisy here?

[Swingblade]

I think we would need examples to figure out what you are talking about?

[Kenneth-Kaunda]

Well I've been arguing with another poster about Chile recently.

Allende v. Pinochet for example.

but we could also think about places such as: Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Nicaragua

or any others people have knowledge about

Allende was democratically elected then ousted by fascist Pinochet in an illegal coup, whilst the Western world cheered.

how is that right?

what about Somoza being kicked out - the west weren't so happy then, or when Castro took over.

major double standard here

Why do liberals continually post their fantasies as fact?

Yeah it is about time we heeded George Washington's warning about meddling in the affairs of other nations.

some of them are still on the go, but I don't keep posting on all of them ad infinitum

but I"m still posting on Milton Friedman + Ayn Rand if you're interested in joining that little party

[Kenneth-Kaunda]

the message seems to be: 'it's ok to stage a coup as long as you're not a lefty, cos lefties is bad'

sound about right?
