What question? We were talking about social democracy and suddenly you did a Gotcha! and mentioned North Korea. What on Earth are you on about?

Cut the crap FMF, if you read my posts you would have known that my question was "how exactly does social democracy get rid of death squads?" like you claimed.

That wasn't what I claimed, as you well know. Sorry generalissimo, not in the mood for your macho-poster-mucho-turkey act tonight. If you'll pay me the respect of quoting what I said instead of different words of your own creation, maybe I'll get back to you.

I see, but you're in a mood for lying and being irrational, it looks like scriabin was right about you after all.

Don't you know what a junta is? Don't you know what death squads are? Do you not know what social democracy is? Are you unaware of what has happened in Latin America over the last 20 years?

Yes, Yes, Yes, No.

However, I'd like to see you explain how social democracy itself got rid of the Juntas and the death squads.

I never claimed that it did. You are not quoting me verbatim - deliberately, it seems.

Ok, thats good enough.

So now I know for sure that you meant that social democracy did not get rid of death squads.

Why do you keep saying "get rid of", "get rid of", "get rid of"? These are your words not mine. Yours is the most feeble minded munchkin-like cantankerousness on these forums. Latin America now has social democracy almost everywhere. Prior to that there were military dictatorships and other tyrannical oligarchical set ups, many of which were payrolled by the U.S. or by U.S. corporations. With their demise came the rise of democracy. So, social democaracy has now replaced the network of National Security States that had been established and funded for decade after decade. Or is it you contention that Latin America is still governed by juntas?

I get your point now, I thought you were implying something else.

Look, I have utmost respect for people who have taken the time and made the effort to learn English, my language, as a second language - especially when I have not yet reciprocated by learning Portuguese. Your English is accomplished and idiomatic. This was a confusion about a synonym that isn't always a synonym.
