Boudy counts, was: populism vs. Marxism, in turn was: Frank Sinatra

the body count argument is generally bogus.  Compare the "body count" of
supposedly totalitarian Gomulka and Castro to Pinochet, Suharto, and the
various thugs of Guatemala.  The real distinction is the attitude of the
regime toward American investment.  As for Stalin, were the Gulags and
wars against the Kulaks qualitatively worse than slavery or the Indian
wars?
