I don't know enough about him. As head of state, was he ever responsible for the torture/murder of non-violent people, as Pinochet was? If so, then i agree with you.

I oppose Soviet-style Communism myself --- it's no more than a murderous, classist, totalitarian scheme wrapped in egalitarian rhetoric!
And does he truly claim that the Buddha taught slavery is okay??? I'd love to know where he imagines he got that from! Or is he speaking ex-cathedra, as it were? Do you know? Namuamidabutsu, what a pillock!
