Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. He wasn't a leftie, he was a Dictator. "Left-wing" dictator, yes, but Dictator still.

So do I. When it comes to beautiful women, I don;t discriminate much.

How could somebody be "left-wing" and not leftie at the same time?

Because "lefties" are usually socially liberal. Lenin and Stalin and most Left-Wing Dictators are NOT socially liberal. Just because you advocate a command economy does not make you a leftie. The whole single party system ruins that bit.

Of course, Winston asked for Leftists. So you could still be a leftist, but not a leftie.

On Slashdot, you have to click-through to see low-rated replies. We don't have per-post scoring here, so I have to do it by user. It works well enough. This lets me both quickly skim over threads and click-through to see every post. I think I'd prefer for Apolyton to default to ignoring everyone and then let me whitelist certain people, but whatever.:P I don't know about moderates, but we need more posters like Spiffor and Ben Kenobi who form polite, cogent arguments.

I don't know about that. Having universal education and socialised medicine sounds liberal to me. If you are talking about political freedom, that can be another story.

At any rate, the term "liberal" is ill-defined, and has a different meaning in Europe than in North America. I prefer "progressive" myself.

Yes, I'm a staunch Liberal, and no amount of exposure to North American political jargon will ever change that.

Only Libertarians are against universal education.

But, dude:
- Stalin gave out medals to women who had an obscene number of kids
- Stalin outlawed homesexuality (legal in the 20s)
- Stalin outlawed pornography (ditto)
- Stalin had a lot of people killed for having opinions, or travelling, or looking at a dog funny
- Stalin purged small business owners who became successful after Lenin's economic liberalization

Stalin was not socially liberal. Lenin may have been. Alexandra Kollontai implemented some very nice reforms while Lenin was around, but Stalin exiled her to Sweden and reversed most policies.
