The last time they were part of the government was in 1977 and pretty much destroyed the government in 2 years - causing a collapse. This is a group dedicated to destroying stable institutions - even through the democratic process if necessary 130746@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Mar 2005 10:41:31 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/21/162515.php#comment-130727 I am an Indian. And no, the Left is not winning anywhere in India, except for the state of West Bengal, where the red flag has had its stronghold for decades. 130727@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Mar 2005 09:47:09 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/21/162515.php#comment-130726 I am an Indian.

Yup. 80902@blogcritics.org Sun, 22 Aug 2004 00:47:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/21/162515.php#comment-80901 Venezuela remains under the control of a corrupt, pro-Castro communist, a former coup-leader, who likely engaged in ballot-rigging. Brazil is now under the thrall of a Leftist who hates Americans, and who is possibly working on the development of a nuclear weapon. And you think this is a GOOD thing? And you honestly believe Bush will declare "martial law" if he loses in November? Did your prescription run out or something? 80901@blogcritics.org Sun, 22 Aug 2004 00:43:34 EDT
