    What does this have to do with dictators…?

    Are you saying… if we hate Communist dictators, we should also hate Fascist dictators…?

        Right, I hear you. I dislike tyranny but I also understand how different societies have different standards and models for government. This does not mean that I think their forms of government are justified, but I also do not think that looking back and defecating on the models of very different societies that are formed by very different circumstances is the best look.

        For that matter, there are even far left authoritarians that can be admired on some level. Ho Chi Minh has some very redeemable characteristics but I also dislike his persecution of the Catholics, for instance. I also do not look at guys like former Pres. Morales of Bolivia and the current Brazilian President as also having a lot of good qualities though neither of them would stack up at all as Libertarians…

        So I also do not balk at occasionally admiring non-Libertarian rightwing authoritarians when it is relevant.
