OK, where did the "Pinko" term come into effect? Was it the eventual Eastern Bloc nations? or say , Castro's Cuba? I'm curious, who were the "Pinko's? Communist sympathizers. It was a term used to describe anyone that was sympathetic to the communist or socialist cause, but wasn't actually a card carrying member of the communist party. Sort of a communist light term. It originally came from the term "parlor pinks" which was used back in the 20s and 30s to refer to the same sympathizers. Pink being a diluted version of red. -- Robert Allison Rimshot, Inc. Georgetown, TX Robert, you answered a question that I should have also posted. the sympathaizers living in a free society with communistic views. Communism doesn't strictly require a "non-free" society. It's just that nobody's really managed to pull off any of the economic tricks *without* screwing with people's freedoms. I'm a bit rusty on this, but I believe Tito thought he could make socialism work in Yugoslavia without involving the evils he saw in the USSR & China. A quick google search for "tito yugoslavia" reveals a vast amount of disagreement about whether he succeeded or not. He failed. As soon as he died the artificial construct that was Yugoslavia cracked and crumbled. We will see the same thing in Iraq over the next 10 to 15 years. I can't believe what you just wrote! Are you questioning our great leader's most excellent plan??? |

But the ws I see it is that Tito didn't like the "ruskie way of communism, and went to fight the corruption, but had a highly corrupt dictatorship. Milosovic? He was corrupt all right, but he wasn't as corrupt as he was an evil butcher. |
