What about Pinochet, Allende, Galtieri, Franco, Peron, the Greek generals, the Portuguese junta, etc,etc - right wing repression is just as bad, if not worse than any percieved 'left wing control freakery'. Socialism and capitalism are ideals, each with their pros and cons, but which are ruined by the fact that, in the main, human beings, regardless of where they sit on the political scale, are selfish and greedy, and always on the look-out for somebody to squash.
