This is a completely worthless, ahistorical comment.
> French Revolution,
How did that turn out?
> American Revolution
There is no definition of leftism that would include the American independence movement. The conception of leftism didn't even exist!. My head is about ready to explode.
> Mexican Revolution
See French revolution.
>And the all time greatest threat to the world has been a right wing populist revolution; the rise of Nazi Germany.
Pick up a book on the Weimar Republic some day, you might learn something!
> Right wing revolutions tend to curtail rights like the Iranian Revolution
'Tend to'
I have been repeatedly informed that the Iranian revolution was a liberation from the Western Imperialists & therefore left-wing (yes, seriously).
Strangely omitted are the Russian, Chinese, & Cuban revolutions. I wonder why?
Frankly, I'm shocked the mods let this topic survive on the front-page for this long. It's a honeypot for every kind of crank to show up and start arguing (myself included)
In summary, you guys need to put down the IDEs & start reading actual history books (not wikipedia & and half-assed bastardized regurgitations of Chomsky)
