Lady snake,
From the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: agitprop -- "Political strategy in which techniques of agitation and propaganda are used to influence public opinion. Originally described by the Marxist theorist Georgy Plekhanov and then by Vladimir Ilich Lenin, it called for both emotional and reasoned arguments."
I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
Mussolini, father of fascism, considered himself amongst the parties of the left. Adolf, also, although a different more evil varient. Both advocated a break with past traditions and religion, and the overwhelming power of the state -- major tenets of the extreme left.
I will accept, reluctantly, that Franco was a conservative, as he was an advocate for tradition and religion.
I'm not accusing those of this forum of being members of the extreme left, but, of quoting old leftist propaganda, without proper research.
Last night I saw Ted Turner saying he admired Fidel Castro because Cuba has free health care and education. He failed to metion that they don't have free speech, they get into fist-fights over a loaf of bread, and the waters between Cuba and Florida are constantly full of floating trucks and cars trying to escape. Something tells me after a few years of Odama and Pelosi, there will be no reason for them to come here anymore.
