"Some people got offended by my dislike of live Commies. I suppose that the current Commies can claim substantial difference from their ideological forbears, same as Republicans would rather not be blamed for Lincoln and Democrats for FDR. In other words, there are bad Nazis and good Nazis, especially the those to whom we may be related. I suppose a person whose first priority is family and who joined the Communist party for purely pragmatic reasons isn't such a terrible creature.
OK. So wishing people dead on the basis of their political affiliations is bad?
Pinochet may have been a bad creature, but how many cheered at Allende's demise in 1973? And Allende wasn't even a mass murderer, only a brigand under the color of law. But we can definitely cheer the deaths of people like Trotsky, though by the time he was iced he was no longer in power. And I am sure the celebration of the eventual death of Mugabe would be wide-spread and sincere.
I am not in the position to go after authoritarian enemies, even those who spoil my own quality of life. But wishing the worst upon the leadership of hostile organizations, be they Comparty or NASDAP or any other their American imitations, is normal.
