This led me to the conclusion that in the limited area of dictatorships, there really isn't much difference between "left" and "right". These labels become fairly irrelevant.
Pinochet kills three thousand commies, who previously wrecked the economy and terrorized the middle class, and are now trying to overthrow him. Restore order and prosperity. Demonized by the Western Media. King of Saudi Arabia kills one journalist, maintains order. Demonized by the western media. Burmese Government kills a few thousand Muslims, some of whom are terrorists, and the rest of whom are the cover that the terrorists hide among. Demonized by the western media. Vienam murders several hundred thousand capitalists. Western media love them. Looks to me that there is a difference between right wing dictators and left wing dictators.
