Am I? I am saying that the Nazis and the USSR were/are left wing radical, not that all left wing radicals (let alone all leftists) are Stalinistic. I yielded that "socialistic" might be the wrong word (it has been used in so many ways by now... it *is* what the first S of USSR means) And the fact that two parties fight each other doesn't imply that at least one of them is right wing... I made, however, a mistake: I meant "control of industry and economy", but typed "government control". -- Biep. {seismo|decvax|philabs}!mcvax!vu44!botter!klipper!biep I utterly disagree with everything you are saying, but I am prepared to fight myself to death for your right to say it. --Voltaire
