=============================
Not your comment about Cuba, Chris. That's been a long-standing debate on
the left.
Your efforts to soften the features of fascism in order to demonstrate that left-wing regimes may have more to answer for is what drew my reply. But no subject should be out of bounds for discussion, and I tried to deal with the issue in context. Now you're being disingenuous when you pretend your comments were meant to be casual rather than provocative and that we've over-reacted.
