- Beg to differ. From the capitalist POV, anyone who doesn't allow for free
- trade, free speech, etc. is a dictator, I suppose, but I see a big difference.
- Communist does not equal dictator.

- Not true. Gorbachev was liberal, and he met great resistance within the Soviet
- government for his ideas from the old right-wing guard, who eventually
- kidnapped him and attempted a coup.
