Yes AJP but that does not make you a Hitler type. There was no mass killing of innocent people and Che was no fan of Hitlers. I dont like him being associated with that evil bastard. I have said before that Che was neither a good nor a bad man. Hitler was a monster. I will not have Che branded one of those. I do not have any time for monsters.
You can tell he was one of the good ones because he was killed by the bad ones. A bit like Trotsky (although he was a muderous commie bastard he was nothing compared to Stalin).
By the way does being mildly annoyed at every injustice make me a comrade?
Wasn't Alexis Sayle a trotsky'ite in one episode of "The Young Ones" or have i just entered an Oxbridge heated debate
I am not sure on that Reiss. I do enjoy the young ones but I dont recall that.
PS. Hitler was anti communist. I thought he was and I just googled to check. Che was communist. Complete Opposites. Che was a socialist but in his heart of hearts and eventualy on Live TV he admitted his communism. I am not offay on politics though so a debate on that will place me on the fence. Watching, listening and learning.
Yes AJP you are a comrade. xx
He was their landlord. He smashed up all their house and added it to their rent all thye time. I think it was the univeristy challenge one. but my heads often in the clouds. sorry to interupt the debate on him out of "citizen smith"
No probs hun. Ahhhhhhh I remember the character briefly. I dont know though to be honest. Maybe someone else can enlighten us.

Hitler killed millions of innocent people. Fidel & Che did not. The only innocent loss of life was a puppy. Which was horrific but necessary.It played on Che's mind enough to form an entry in his diary, and many writings. He was infact a huge Dog lover.They only killed soldiers when those soldiers started killing the peasants or if they were fired at. So there. Up until that point they were capturing them, talking to them then letting them go. Do you think they will ever sell Hitlers Ogly mug on a t.shirt?
I'm sorry Charley but this is not up to your usual form. I didn't find anything to laugh at.
Sorry David. (have you seen the little fight I and Jude have had over you on girlie pirates thread).
I was having an eppy. It is all over now. I was smashing the shit out of my keys on my lappie though. I have lost the button to the letter a. Well broken it off. Works still though. *Woo*
God I am turning into my friend. Yapping like a dog with a firework up its arse. Sorry.

Not necessarily.

He's said he was at that time one in real life. Not sure now though. Still very left however.

Another good one.
He was a bloody mercenary who used the normal political reasons for justifying killing people. Rather like George and Tony and Adolf and Ariel and Josef and Sloba and...ad infinitum.
That is politics for yer eh! Aleast no innocent people were lost. All I know is I am fascinated. It has opened my mind up a little to politics. Also gained me a little more knowledge and an interest in philosophy & marxism. That can't be too bad if it has helped me move one rung up off the dumn dumn ladder.

All politicians kill people. The good ones keep the body count low.
What a great quote AJP is that your own? If so, Brilliant. That would be worth sticking in your sig. Fantabulous.
