Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 20, 2021 #8481 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Not even the right wing business papers here describe Boric as communist, they only mention that the communist party is in the coalition. I'm going to guess this is the usual: wanting social welfare = communism = bad NaBUru38 and LuizGuilherme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it’s possible that there really are both millionaire Nigerian princesses & moderate Communists out there somewhere, but I don’t expect to see any in my lifetime. konig and Monzanator 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe someone still supports Communist Party & Marxists politicians forming any sort of government in 2021. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe someone still supports Communist Party & Marxists politicians forming any sort of government in 2021. I can't believe someone is supporting executing dissidents in 2021, if we're going to go with the most extreme elements of the coalitions of the winning candidate. Also, is Boric even a Communist? He certainly has Chile's Communist party in his coalition, but Boric himself has been pretty consistently opposed to the Nicaraguan, Cuban and Venezuelan governments as far as I can tell.
